Which statement best describes the Logan Basic technique ligaments?

• A. Equine: sacral tuberous ligament; Canine: sacral sciatic ligament
• B. Equine: sacral ligaments are unaffected; Canine: sacral ligaments unaffected
• C. Equine: sacral sciatic ligament; Canine: sacral tuberous ligament
• D. Equine: sacral sciatic ligament; Canine: sacral tuberous ligament

Answer: (D)

The Logan Basic technique targets specific sacral ligaments, and the ligament focus differs by species because of anatomical differences in how the sacrum connects to the pelvis in horses and dogs. For horses, the key structure emphasized is the sacral sciatic ligament, a major stabilizing band near the sacrum toward the sciatic region. For dogs, the focus is the sacral tuberous ligament, which runs from the sacrum to the ischial tuberosity. The idea is that releasing tension in these particular ligaments helps normalize sacral mobility and pelvic-nerve function, which is why this pairing best fits the technique.
