Physical Therapy for Tailbone Pain
What is tailbone pain and how can it be related to the pelvic floor?
Tailbone pain or coccydynia is pain that is located to the area around the tailbone (coccyx). Typically tailbone pain is usually worse with sitting or with direct pressure placed on the tailbone and many experience tailbone pain during pregnancy.
The pelvic floor muscles attach directly to the tailbone, so tension and tightness through the pelvic floor can pull on the tailbone, resulting in pain.
Coccydynia treatment with a pelvic floor therapist.
Pelvic floor therapists are the best providers to manage your tailbone pain because we can do internal coccyx adjustments and can release the muscles that attach to the tailbone.
Pelvic floor physical therapists can also instruct on individualized exercises and teach lifestyle modifications aimed at helping to relax the muscles around the tailbone.
