The Controversy Of The Gillet SI Joint Test

This week on the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about one of my favorite topics - the Gillet SI joint test. Gillet’s test or sometimes known as the March test or Stork test, is typically known for having poor reliability based on previous research. If you’ve been following along for some time, you probably know that said research likes to get thrown around by the EBP police when I make posts on social media. But the often overlooked part of these research studies is that they have lots of flaws and limitations. Make sure you tune into this episode as I break down why the studies on the Gillet test aren’t the best and why I think the SI joint is innately difficult to assess with only one test.
