What is Freyette’s 1st law?
If the spine is in the neutral position, and if sidebending is introduced, rotation will then occur to the opposite side
NS(L)R(R)
Usually applies to more than two vertebral segments
What is Freyette’s 2nd law?
If the spine is in the non-neutral position and rotation is introduced, sidebending will the occur to the same side
Always named for their freedom of motion
