Default tight internal hip rotators, si joint

I will try to summarize my situation as best possible. Awhile ago, I was seeing a chiropractor quite frequent for a 'locked SI joint' because the adjustments were not holding for more than 24-48 hours. Eventually, I was referred to a spine center physical therapist and where an anterior pelvic tilt was diagnosed. From there we worked out stretching hip flexor, strengthening glutes and transverse abdominus, etc.

Something to take note of was my severely limited right side internal hip rotator range of motion. To this day (I am not in the same city as I was doing PT in and have not started PT here yet) my right side psoas, rectus femoris, IT band are much tighter than my left and a cause of major discomfort and my ROM for internal hip rotation is still very limited. I stretch these muscles and foam roll them multiple times daily, but am not finding very much relief. Does anyone have any suggestions, because I still have the 'locked SI joint' feeling some times and with always having limited internal hip rotation + super tight right side hip muscles.

Thanks

Sports masage or another form of deep tissue massage. I know you may think how can this possibly help but it really can do amazing things for tight muscles. Give it a go. Continue stretching alongside and hopefully you will notice some improvements
