42	I’d love to connect you with Dr. Anja Huq at Revitalize Integrated Body Systems, my thoughtful, warm, and skilled chiropractor, who favors gentle adjustments, precise movements, and making stabilizing exercises a lifestyle.	—	—	—	inherit	—
43	Dr. Anja, Janet Perrino at Physiofit is perhaps the single physical therapist with the most complete understanding of how to work with SI joint issues I’ve met. She also has a wonderful combination of intellectual curiosity and physical skill.	—	—	—	inherit	—
44	Today Dr. Anja and I took a stab a translating between chiropractic and PT understanding of SI misalignment issues. (If you see the first below link in the forwarded message, it explains terminology like “L on L forward sacral torsion” and “L on R backwards sacral torsion”.) Do you think you could help us work on translating chiropractic language into these terms?	—	—	—	inherit	—
45	For instance, today I had a “P-L sacrum on the left” according to chiropractic terminology. What would this be in PT language? Please feel free to ask questions here if you don’t know offhand.	—	—	—	inherit	—
46	More generally, at the end of this, it would be great if we could figure out how to self adjust me out of the state I was in today with Dr Anja:	—	—	—	inherit	—
47	Palpation revealed:	—	—	—	inherit	—
48	“PI ilium on right” — right psis low, asis high	—	—	—	inherit	—

51	Upper joint of the SI, near sacral base, moving OK on the left, lower joint (a ways above ILA?),sacrum restricted	—	—	—	inherit	—
52	Right side ilium restricted on both the top and bottom.	—	—	—	inherit	—
53	I attempted the L on L forward sacral torsion adjustment you gave me, which didn’t seem to work completely (or possibly at all).	—	—	—	inherit	—
54	We then performed the Webster technique adjustment and corrected it.	—	—	—	inherit	—
55	Janet, would you be willing to help us figure which state I was in according to physical therapy terminology? Again, please feel free to ask anything that would be helpful.	—	—	—	inherit	—
56	Thank you so much, both of you.	—	—	—	inherit	—

71	A posterior or backward torsion of the sacrum to the left on the right oblique axis (LOR) results from an inability of the left sacral base to move into anterior nutation (sacral flexion) with extension of the lumbar spine. In the neutral position, the sacrum is side bent right and rotated left. When lumbar extension is introduced, asymmetry increases. When lumbar flexion is introduced, symmetry improves.	—	—	—	inherit	—
72	In the neutral position, when the sacrum is side bent right and rotated left, L5 is considered to be adaptive when it rotates to the right and sidebends to the left (Click here to see an image of left on right sacral torsion with the patient in the neutral position).	—	—	—	inherit	—

89	to me	—	—	—	inherit	—
90	Thanks for opening up the discussion.	—	—	—	inherit	—
91	When I saw you last. Your pelvis was in alignment but not your sacrum. You had a left on left forward sacral torsion.	—	—	—	inherit	—
92	In regards to the pelvis or ilium (IS joint)- it can be either posteriorly rotated or anteriorly rotated. You can also have an up slip but it is rare and EXTREMELY painful to bear weight and walk.	—	—	—	inherit	—
93	Posterior rotation: on palpation the affected side PSIS is inferior and the ASIS is superior in relation to the non-affected side	—	—	—	inherit	—
94	Anterior rotation: on palpation the affected side PSIS is superior and the ASIS is inferior in relation to the non-affected side. Also stiff in spring to ilial posterior rotation.	—	—	—	inherit	—
95	I do a few tests to determine which side is affected (since no one test alone is reliable): 1) Standing forward bend for ilium (IS joint)- the affected side moves first and furthest. cranially 2) Gillet or standing march for ilium (IS)- the affected PSIS does not drop below S2 or does not move caudally. 3) Usually the extensor hallucus longus (big toe extensor) is weak on the affected side. 4) Ilial spring test: stiff and possibly painful	—	—	—	inherit	—
96	For Testing the sacrum or SI joint I do: 1) Seated flexion test: affected side moves first and and further cranially 3) Sit slump -for a backward sacral torsion (BST) the obliquity gets worse with extension and for forward sacral torsion (FST) the obliquity gets worse with flexion or slump 4) lumbo-sacral spring test: usually painful and stiff with a BST and springy/ not painful with FST. 5) sacral spring for mobility	—	—	—	inherit	—
97	In regards to the sacrum (SI joint)- there are many possible dysfunctions.	—	—	—	inherit	—
98	Sacral nutation or flexion- both sacral sulci deep and both ILA shallow, gait usually normal	—	—	—	inherit	—
99	Sacral counter nutation or extension- both sacral sulci shallow and both ILA deep, gait usually normal but uncomfortable.	—	—	—	inherit	—
100	Left on left FST: L sacral sulci and ILA shallow (posterior), + seated flexion on right, sit-slump left ILA more shallow with flexion or slump, sacral spring-decreased R extension via the L ILA.	—	—	—	inherit	—
101	Right on right FST: R sacral sulci and ILA shallow (posterior), + seated flexion on left, sit-slump right ILA more shallow, sacral spring-decreased extension via right ILA, lumbar spring negative	—	—	—	inherit	—
102	Left on right BST: L sacral sulci and ILA shallow, + seated flexion left, sit-slump L ILA more shallow with extension, sacral spring- decreased flexion via left sacral base, lumbar spring +	—	—	—	inherit	—
103	Right on left BST: R sacral sulci and ILA shallow, + seated flexion right, sit-slump R ILA more shallow with extension, sacral spring- decreased flexion via right sacral base, lumbar spring +	—	—	—	inherit	—
104	It is possible to have unilateral sacral flexion or extension but it is not as common.	—	—	—	inherit	—
105	Also usually gait (walking) is normal with FST but antalgic (pain and decreased weight on one side) with BST.	—	—	—	inherit	—
106	For treating these dysfunctions I use muscle energy techniques specifically for the dysfunction. They are gentle and use your muscles to re-align. I am not saying chiropractic manipulations are wrong, they are just not in my tool box. You also can not correct yourself with drop table or direct manipulations. You can corrrect yourself with muscle energy techniques. The hard part is for you to determine what direction you are out of alignment to use the right technique.	—	—	—	inherit	—
107	Hope this helps.	—	—	—	inherit	—

124	Which side would you describe as the “affected“ side with the way I presented last time?	—	—	—	inherit	—
125	Would you describe my left sacroiliac joint as “stuck“? Would you say that my right or left ilium is affected?	—	—	—	inherit	—
126	Thank you so much for the thorough answer, and responding further soon – actually walking into an appointment with Dr. Anja right now!	—	—	—	inherit	—
127	When I saw you last visit, your ilium was in alignment. According to your visit with Shalini, your left ilium was anteriorly rotated. When I saw you, only your sacrum was out of alignment- all testing lead to left on left forward sacral torsion as I described in the note. Your left sacral sulci and ILA were shallow which was worse with flexion in sit-slump testing, lumbo- sacral spring negative, sacral spring showed decreased extension via left ILA, your gait normal.	—	—	—	inherit	—
