The sacroiliac joint has very little movement because strong ligaments around it stabilize the joint while it supports the upper body’s weight. Its motion is also limited by the irregular surfaces of the sacrum, which closely fit against the ilium. The joints are essentially narrow vertical slits on the left and right sides of the sacrum, so movement may be very slight or absent.
