What should I notice before and after?+
Baseline movement

- Gently move your neck and notice if the sacral area also feels tight or uncomfortable.
Interpretation
- Use the test the neck and sacral area as the before-and-after reference. If it feels easier, remember the responsive point and finish or repeat as written above.
- If the neck + sacral pain feels unchanged, search only within the marked area for a clearer sore, tingling, full, or tender point.
Release the point, repeat the test the neck and sacral area once, and compare it with the starting movement.
