Tailbone (Coccyx) Pain Relief - Ask Doctor Jo

The tailbone (or the coccyx) can become very painful if it’s injured or fractured. Here are 7 simple ways to help relieve coccyx or tailbone pain. Watch Dr. Jo show more ways to relieve tailbone pain: • Pain from Sitting Too ...
For the first stretch for tailbone pain, you will start in quadruped or all fours. Open up your knees, but bring your feet slightly together. Lean back into a stretch, but not all the way to your feet. Then you can gently take your hips side to side.
Next, staying in quadruped, you will do a cat/dog or cat/cow to stretch the hips and pelvis. Then you can go back into a full child’s pose or prayer stretch. The further down you go, the better stretch you will get. After that, you can lie all the way down on your stomach, and come up into a cobra stretch. If that is too much, you can start with a prone prop.
For the last stretch for coccyx and tailbone pain, roll over onto your back, and do trunk rotations and bridges.

You're welcome!

[@joklein5070]

I fell and probably did something to my coccyx like a decade ago and have recurring flareups, and came here for something extra to do when it gets really stiff and I can't sit. Almost exactly the same routine my physical therapist gave me back then, but the added child's pose and tailbone "wagging" really helps! Some advice to viewers who just recently injured their tailbone: give it time to heal and don't overdo it, see a doctor or physical therapist if you can, and do your stretches or you'll really be feeling it later!

[@WaterFountain]

I'm going through the exact same thing! I slipped and fell and at first i couldn't tolerate the pain at all but after a few months it reduced by a bunch. But I still can't sit comfortably and the pain returns if i put pressure on it

That is what I felt as well and I am really nervous since I googled it and I found many serious diseases. I've been suffering from tailbone pain for almost 3 months. How about yours? How long have you got that tailbone pain?

[@anamika9674]

Exact my problem. But with these stretches it will resolve . Also while sitting lean forward

Thank god for these videos. I already know where the pain is and why - tailbone, sitting in bad desk chair for 4 months 7hrs a day. I really appreciate physical therapists and doctors helping out like this, lord knows living in the US it's difficult for the average person to get help without paying hundreds of dollars It goes without saying of course that if the pain lasts too long or is too painful you should go to a doctor, but otherwise super grateful for these
