You are here:
- Patient in supine position
- Patient bends their knees & lifts their buttocks so physician can place their arm/hand, palm up, between patient’s legs with their fingers pointed cephalad
- Physician’s finger pads of treatment hand will then engage with patient’s sacral base
- With their knees remaining bent, the patient will put their feet next to each other and ABduct their knees to maximal comfort
- Physician will then press anteriorly & apply a caudad traction force on the sacral base
- While physician maintains the anterior and caudad force, patient will rapidly kick their legs straight out
- As physician feels the sacrum begin to soften when the patient kicks their legs, physician will then increase the anterior and caudad force on the sacrum to maximize treatment
