Accurate diagnosis and treatment of dysfunction within the pelvic girdle is of great importance to practitioners of manual medicine. The osseous pelvis has a significant contribution to the functional capacity of the musculoskeletal system and warrants appropriate investigation and management in all patients. The superior surface of the body of the sacrum supports the vertebral column and the sacroiliac joints couple to the lower extremities. Consequently, alterations in normal sacral mechanics can have a significant effect on both body support and locomotion.
