Sacral torsion occurs in an anterior direction when the lumbosacral
juction is extended and side bending is introduced. When the
lumbar spine moves into extension, the sacrum responds with
symmetric (bilateral) flexion (anterior nutation). If the extended
lumbar spine then side bends to the right with coupled rotation to
the left, the sacrum will rotate to the left on the left oblique axis.
