Sagittal Coupling Patterns: How the Spine and Pelvis Compensate
Sagittal Coupling Patterns: How the Spine and Pelvis Compensate
In this June 23, 2026 Refining Room recap, Dr. Jason Miller explains how sagittal postural shifts influence the cervical spine, thorax, lumbar spine, pelvis, and overall balance.
In this episode
* How primary postural shifts create coupled spinal motions
* Anterior and posterior head and thoracic translation patterns
* The difference between thoracic curvature and sagittal balance
* Common pelvic flexion, extension, and translation patterns
* How these mechanics influence imaging interpretation
* Practical exercise considerations for different postural presentations
