Sacral torsion occurs in a posterior direction when the lumbosacral
junction 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 left with coupled rotation to the left,
the sacrum will rotate to the right on the left oblique axis.
