Jerry, I saw that you still respond to even your own videos which I think is fabulous. Do you know of any physical therapists in Tampa, FL who treat this? I saw one nearby, and he diagnosed me with sacral torsion, but he didn't take insurance, so I couldn't afford treatment. I'd really love to get treated for this and reduce my horrid lower back and hip pain!

Hi…I was wondering if there is anyone in Washington state that has your knowledge? It’s been 7 years for me with sacrum and around my tail bone pain!

[@habanero6332]

I can feel when it has moved out of place and it’s terrible. My ligaments stretched and now I have to keep putting it back in place. It’s fine when I get it there but keeping it there atm is difficult. Stops you bending when it’s out. The movement feels horrible. You can feel the bones sliding over each other until they are seated correctly and when unseated it makes all of the spine unstable and move around.

Jerry in your analysis do you consider the zone of apposition st all in your diagnosis? Appreciate your responses. Thank you.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Hi Mitch No I do not but am receptive to your input. Thoughts?

[@MsLanaPie]

the exercise you show here Dr. Hesch is if only the lower quadrant on the left and right sides of the sacrum is prominent or is in an torsion? What about the upper quadrants of the sacrum; would there be a different exercise? Or maybe this exercise is treating the whole sacrum?

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

Great question. Upper sacral quadrant torsions are very well but do respond to the same self treatment because there is actually a subtle asymmetry below. Great thoughtful question.

[@movementwise]

How does having a longstanding, significant scoliosis, with a short left leg, effect your approach? Would you be using a left shoe lift?

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

It depends on a thorough whole-body evaluation. I test and treat micromotion defects throughout the body. I occasionally use heel lifts and ischial lifts if the pelvis grew uneven the person will be uncomfortable while sitting.

Does this work for all types of sacral misalignment?? all types of sacral torsion?? what the physios say words like R on R, R on L, L on L, etc..

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

No, it works for 4-types of sacral torsion, there is no such thing as "unilateral flexion/extension of the sacrum, does not work for sacrum stuck in backward bending. I treat sacrum that lacks backward bending with inferior glide and implicate the lumbosacral facets more so than the SIJ (but who knows it has not been specifically evaluated), maybe it works for the latter.

[@JerryHeschInstitute]

the sacral torsion is a form of sacroiliac joint dysfunction. You can share my videos on self-treatment for sacral torsion with your physical therapist to see if they can guide you. I do not know enough of your case to suggest surgery or not. I am limited in the amount of advice I can give seeing you. best regards Jerry Hesch
