I did a search and found the following post on this newsgroup. My question is should the shoulder be pressed toward a person's back and the hip pressed toward the front at the same time? I got into the advised position and that feels like what "needs" to happen to relieve the hip. I just stretched in the position and it seemed to help. My chiro did the adjustment mentioned and I can't remember which way the "twist" went. My sacroiliac is prone to give me trouble and with no insurance I really need to do what I can at home. The only stretches he had told me to do were side stretches where you would slide one hand down your side to your knee while bringing the other over your head. Are there others? I appreciate any help and advice. Thanks.
If I may use chiropractic listings to advance your case, you are probably "adjusting" by the classic side-lying position. The position (for right hip) is normally lying on the left side, left shoulder rolled under, right leg bent with right foot behind left knee. Then a downward, twisting motion is applied to the right shoulder and right hip, to achieve the traditional "pop" or "crack" which signifies a joint release.
Use an inversion rack. One saved my miserable life for years.
