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