The joints between bones of the skull are immovable and called sutures.

The three pairs of coxal bones are separate at birth, but by the age of ten, they have become fused together; there is no movement between the ilium, ischium and pubis.

The sacrum, also fused, articulates with the innominates at two joints called the right and left sacroiliac joints, or SIJs. These joints have a small amount of movement.

The innominates are joined at the bottom front of the pelvis to the symphysis pubis, a piece of tough cartilage. The right and left pubic symphysis joints are also called the PSJs. There is very limited movement at these joints, though they become more flexible in women during pregnancy and childbirth.

The sacrum and coccyx (or tailbone) also have a joint, called the sacrococcygeal joint, with a small range of movement. This joint is important in the functioning of the muscles of the pelvic floor and spine.
