The 5th lumbar vertebra sits on top of the sacrum (where your spine connects with your pelvis).
What is lumbo pelvic rhythm?
Lumbo-pelvic rhythm is the relationship between the pelvis and the lumbar spine. When a person attempts to touch their toes (straight legged), the pelvis anteriorly tilts on the femur and the lumbar portion of the spine flexes. This integrated movement is the lumbo-pelvic rhythm. An appropriate rhythm is a anterior pelvic tilt of 60 degrees, and a lumbar spinal flex of 30 degrees. Tight hamstrings will reduce pelvic motion and increase lumbar flexion.
What bone articulates with the sacrum?

This generally causes a painful contraction of the muscle in an attempt to protect itself from further damage.

This is a very common cause of back pain.
