| Hello Susan,
SI injuries, if that is what you are experiencing, are quite complicated to assess and remedy. None of the poses you've mentioned are therapeutic in nature for dysfunctional SI issues. However if it's working then it's working (in your body).
Certainly there is an abundance of lower back trouble that is, in fact, issues with the hip flexors - psoas, illacus, and rectus femoris. But again I could not, without an assessment, tell you if there is or is not a psoas issue. The psoas can be assessed in several poses including parts of the Beginner's Hip Opening Series, backbends, and vanarasana.
I would not rely on massage therapy as a panacea for resolution however I find it very helpful as part of a larger healing protocol.
