Tailbone pain, also known as coccygodynia, can make sitting, standing, and daily activities uncomfortable. While over-the-counter pain relievers may offer temporary relief, addressing the underlying pelvic floor dysfunction is often key to long-term recovery. At Rehab Strong Physical Therapy, located within UNITY Chiropractic Wellness near Grand Central in Midtown East, Manhattan, Dr. Michelle Quimosing-Cruz provides specialized pelvic floor therapy to relieve coccyx pain and restore comfort.
What is Coccygodynia?
Coccygodynia refers to pain in the tailbone area, which can result from trauma, prolonged sitting, childbirth, poor posture, or pelvic floor muscle tension. When the muscles supporting the coccyx are tight, weak, or imbalanced, it can lead to chronic discomfort and pain during sitting, standing, or movement.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps Tailbone Pain
Pelvic floor therapy targets the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues surrounding the coccyx to relieve tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain. Dr. Quimosing-Cruz’s approach may include:
- Internal and External Pelvic Floor Techniques: Gentle manual therapy to relax tight muscles and release tension contributing to coccyx pain.
- Posture and Core Stabilization Exercises: Strengthening surrounding muscles to support proper alignment and reduce pressure on the tailbone.
- Pain Management Strategies: Techniques to minimize discomfort during sitting, standing, and daily activity.
- Education and Lifestyle Guidance: Personalized advice on seating, posture, and body mechanics to prevent recurring pain.

Pelvic floor therapy for coccygodynia is effective for anyone experiencing:
- Chronic tailbone pain
- Pain while sitting for extended periods
- Pain after trauma, surgery, or childbirth
