Tailbone Pain: How to Relieve It?

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy may help in people with tailbone pain caused by muscle spasms in the pelvic floor. It typically combines a variety of exercises and stretches to help relieve pressure, improve the muscle and bone strength as well as improve the posture. For instance, light exercises, such as pilates and yoga, would help stretch the coccyx’s muscles, which subsequently eases the pain. Many yoga poses can be especially effective in stretching the ligaments and muscles associated with the tailbone. Physical therapy is suitable for pregnant women with tailbone bone as well. Stop immediately and consult your therapist when the pain or discomfort becomes worse during exercises. [4]
