Top 5 Exercises for Coccyx or Tailbone Pain! - Pelvic Rehab Doc!
In today's video I go over the many reasons why Coccyx or Tailbone Pain can occur, and I show you my Top 5 Exercises for Coccyx or Tailbone Pain! Tailbone pain is an excruciatingly painful diagnosis, a lot of my patients come in with severe back pain only to be later discovered as Tailbone pain. As we commonly treat it in the clinic, I figured it would be a good idea to share my top 5 exercises for Tailbone pain along with some anatomical explanations of why or how this pain could originate. If you are suffering from Tailbone pain and don't have access to a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, this is for sure the video for you, because not only will you be able to have some Tailbone Pain Relief, but also you'll find some encouragement in your journey towards wellness.

my 15 yo daughter is a competitive gymnast and has had tailbone pain for about 4 weeks. There was no obvious trauma to elicit the pain but she had spent some significant time sitting rather hunched over on a hard cement surface for several days in a row prior to the onset of pain. She has restricted her training which is not in alignment with preparing for the coming season. CT and plain films showed no bony abnormalities. I will have her try these techniques to alleviate the pain which is likely caused by soft tissue strain.. Hopefully she will be able to return to full training with minimal pain. I will let you know if these help. Thank you for this very informative video.

Thank you Dr. Amruta for this informative video for relief of my tailbone pain. I'm suffering a lot of this pain since last 3 months 😢... taking analgesics .. and now fade-up of those. Pelvic rehab PT sounds great to work for me.
Thank you 🙂
Tailbone pain is my problems. Need to listen to your advise Doc.ty
Last year I fell backward onto left sit bone. Caused upslip of ilium that was undiagnosed for 4 months. Also sacral torsion. Odd thing was that as those areas got realigned thru PT, my tailbone became painful. Now I think I know why. There was a lot of emphasis on kegal exercises during all my other strengthening exercises. Just doing your exercises once with you, I feel improved!

6 months after my c-sec, I'm not able sit by putting balanced pressure on both hips.. it's been 2 years now.. I have long sitting hours.. due to somehow sitting in a tilted manner, I have developed peripheral neuropathy.. I feel quite handicapped.. going to try all the mentioned exercises.. also, a compliment for you.. you are so lovable❤️
I bruised my tailbone after falling down the stairs . It looks like it shifted to the left since there’s more pain there. It’s really excruciating and I’ve been crying for hours. The closest pelvic floor physical therapy is an hour away and it’s hard getting there. Thank you for your video I hope you can do more of these videos to ease our pains and hopefully heal ☹️

I also had accident at work 11 yrs ago at work, I prayed for death, the pain was excruciating. I went thru therapy, thru lots of meds & thru injections tt provided temporary relief. For me the ONLY thing tt gave me relief was 5mg of Zolpidem, and gentle walking. Your body must begin to move or arthritis sets in. To this day I cannot stay sitting down for long, when I travel, I have to use Tramadol for pain, I have to walk to alleviate pain. I will incorporate these exercises into my routine & write back in one month.

I'm so glad I found your channel! I have been experiencing tailbone pain for about two months now. I'm a fairly active person and it's not restricting me too much, but I definitely have to hang my tailbone off the end of my exercise mat when stretching, and sitting on soft surfaces makes it hurt as well. A few things that might be helpful to know: 1) From January 2016, I've lost about 85 lbs. I definitely started to feel the presence of my tailbone more as my weight dropped, but sitting on soft surfaces was never an issue until recently. 2) I've been working from home since the quarantine, and until about a month ago I was sitting on a metal folding chair with no padding. (I now have an office chair, but I sit on a rolled-up towel. I sit at a computer for the entire workday.) 3) I have a history of scoliosis. It was treated when I was a teenager, and it hasn't seemed to cause any problems in my adult life. 4) I do not recall any one event where I injured my tailbone. I definitely haven't fallen on it. Thanks so much for reading this, and for your videos! I'm definitely going to incorporate these exercises into my routine.

How much time it takes to heal if there is no fracture in tail bone.
Yes, I thought I had a bruised tailbone because I just starting working a new job where I spend a lot of time sitting on a chair that is only big enough for a toddler. Without saying more that this, I believe now, after watching your video that my pain IS indeed an over use injury and that my pelvic floor and surrounding muscles are just completely balled up. I spent an hour doing these stretches the moment I saw you do them before going to bed last night. After doing the exercises I went and sat on a wooden chair, something I haven't been able to do for weeks without a foam coccyx pillow. I was skeptical when I could sense my coccyx but the deep pointed pain on my coccyx wasn't really there. I tried to shift to reproduce it and all I felt was the consciousness of my pelvic floor and the sense of aching and soreness from all the places I had just stretched. I awoke and did the stretches again. Every one of the muscle groups you showed to stretch were very tight and every time I finished one I would return to a neutral position on my bed in a state of relaxation I can only describe as what I feel after an orgasm (pardon me for using this as an example, but I don't know how else to describe it). I was convinced that because of the small chair I have been sitting on at work that I was developing a pressure ulcer or something, or the one piece work suit that I am required to wear was putting pressure on my coccyx because of the seam running down the middle of my back. I really hope this was the problem. Can you recommend icing or heating the area as well, if I would do that before or after stretching, and how often I should stretch and how long I can expect to feel this until it gets resolved? Thanks for your excellent video and for sharing your experience with us. Cheers.

Yes, severe pain in tailbone as of March 2021. I fell on my tailbone in May 2020. Xray showed it wasn't broken. I used ice and stayed off of it until it healed about a month later. Unfortunately, the pain came back at the beginning of march 2021 and has bothered me daily since then. I hit the tailbone directly on the concrete while rollerblading. It was excruciatingly painful.

It hurts or it's better?
Yes I am, doc says its the sacrococcygeal joint. a couple yrs ago I fell backwards and direct hit my tailbone on the nob of my dresser. It was bad and extremely sore and felt like i was sitting on a sore lump so could not sit for months.. since then even though it healed I started having pains I thought inside rectum by my tailbone every few days only at night when I layed down that would make me nauseas it was so bad..it seemed to happen less when I started doing some pelvic floor exercises. I see how sitting on that ball between sit bone and rectum could help. Now I fell on my steep driveway, not hard on my bum but one leg out and one twisted beside me. No pain from it...but a week later very low back pain started at that sacro coccygeal joint according to the doc I saw..hurts into my hips and sciatic off and on down legs. Can't bend forward at that joint...had swelling or stiffness all up sides of my spine. It's been a month and a half of trying to rest and it getting a lot better then flaring up again w the slightest wrong move like putting on shorts. Doc gave me a tordal shot in the rear..had a day of it feeling pretty good then flared all night until a slight move in the bed set it off so bad I couldn't move or stop crying. Spent the last 4 days on flexeril and naproxyn...off both as of yesterday. Need to schedule PT next week...just nervous to go because of covid and I have lupus. I usually do light yoga stretches 3 to 5 times a week but doing nothing because of this. I would love to know what stretches I can safely do for this problem.
yes, twisted to left tailbone left side muscle spasm and low back pain.
Yes, already for six years chronisch pain tailbone and sitbones.
