Fix Tilted Sacrums with Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques
Sacral torsion refers to an abnormal rotation or misalignment of the sacrum, which is a triangular bone located at the base of the spine, between the two hip bones. The sacrum is made up of several fused vertebrae and connects the spine to the pelvis.
In a healthy and properly aligned spine, the sacrum sits symmetrically between the two hip bones. However, sacral torsion occurs when the sacrum rotates tilts and twists to one side. This can result in an imbalance or dysfunction in the pelvic and spinal structures.
Sacral torsion can be caused by various factors, including trauma or injury to the pelvis or lower back, muscle imbalances, poor posture, or repetitive stress on the spine. It can also be associated with certain conditions such as scoliosis or leg length discrepancy.
In this video Erik Dalton demonstrates one manual therapy technique that massage therapists can use to correct sacral torsion.
This massage technique is part of a broader approach to treating postural disorders called Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques, an approach developed by Erik Dalton, PhD, a student of Ida Rolf, and a recognized pioneer in the bodywork community for more than 30 years.

Two things that would make this technique easier to grasp: 1) Have the camera actually show where his hand is on the sacrum, 2) Eric could also show his hand position on the model he used at the beginning.

We appreciate the feedback. :)

Hamstring pain, groin pain, eventually knee pain, calf pain, pelvic floor dysfunction and so on…oh not to mention cervical dysfunction

[@TravelHaole]

HI Erik, are you applying force on the right sacral base at L5-S1 or hooking on the sacral ridge with your palm and rotating back with left rotational force?...hope that makes sense.

[@chrissy302]

From his description I assume sacral base.

[@daltonmyoskeletal]

Google "inferior angle of sacrum" and click images. I start as low as possible (think coccyx) and then I repeat the technique with my palm along the lateral sacral border.

and the client is not pushing the sacrum against your hand? just the shoulder shrug for a counter force??? thanks
