Coccydynia is a condition characterized by pain and tenderness in the coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, located at the bottom of the spine. It can develop due to a fall or direct injury, prolonged sitting on hard surfaces, repetitive strain, childbirth, or changes in posture. The pain may worsen while sitting, leaning backward, standing up from a seated position, or during bowel movements.
Common symptoms include localized tailbone pain, tenderness, discomfort during prolonged sitting, and difficulty performing everyday activities. Early assessment can help identify the possible cause of the pain and guide appropriate treatment.
At Physionautics, we offer personalized physiotherapy programs designed to reduce pain, improve sitting tolerance, and restore comfortable movement. Depending on the patient's condition, treatment may include posture correction, activity modification, gentle mobility exercises, pelvic floor rehabilitation when indicated, and targeted exercises to improve core and pelvic stability. Guidance on ergonomic sitting positions and the use of appropriate cushions may also help reduce pressure on the tailbone.
Physionautics' team focuses on evidence-based care tailored to each patient's symptoms, lifestyle, and recovery goals. Whether your tailbone pain affects your work, travel, or daily routine, professional assessment can help you find an appropriate management plan.
