fryettes law one of coupled T/L motion
when the spine is in a neutral position side bending and rotation will occur in opposite directions
Fryettes law two of coupled T/L motion
when a spine is in a non-neutral positioning side bending and rotation will occur in the same directions
fryettes law 3 of coupled T/L motion
when motions of the spine are coupled, the first planer motion will be the strongest and they will progressively decrease as each additional motion is added on.
