Tailbone Pain

I have had Tailbone pain since last summer.

I found these tips and hope I can incorporate some of these into my daily olife and get some relief.

Exercise for coccyx pain
Some sufferers have reported success with exercises in relieving their pain. Note that this requires a commitment to keep up the routine, as results will not come quickly.
Please let me know if you try any of these these exercises, whether or not they are successful for you. Both positive and negative information is helpful for others.
Anal lock
Hengsoon found that doing an Anal Lock excercise reduced his pain.
This exercise is done in bed, morning and evening. It involves the same muscles you use to "hold on" when you need to go to the toilet but can't get there right away. The muscles are tensed and held for 10-15 seconds, repeatedly. Full instructions are given on www.chinese-holistic-health-exercises.com
Weightless squats
R. K. Hennessy, D Giberson, Lylima, Anonymous found that a programme of repeated weightless squats reduced or relieved their pains.
Repeatedly go from this position to standing.
Treadmill
Anie found that a year of running and walking on a treadmill, 40 minutes a day, 4 times a week, got rid of her pain.
Hamstring stretch
Andrew found that physiotherapy and hamstring stretches relieved his pain.
Clam shell exercise
Anonymous found that clam shell exercises reduced his pain when done with the squats above.
Inversion therapy
This method involves hanging upside down at an angle on an inversion table, with the feet fastened in position. This applies traction to the spine. Two patients have reported success in reducing their coccyx pain using inversion therapy, Nad, and one other. Two other patients said that they had tried it, without success.
Breathing and relaxation exercises
Two patients have reported success in reducing coccyx pain using breathing and relaxation exercises combined with deep massage: Kirin and Mike.
Yoga
Two patients have reported success in getting rid of coccyx pain using yoga, Saurabh, AJ. The exercises that they used were:

Shalbasana, Bhujangasana and Ardha shalabh asana

On the other hand, Jo has used these exercises and said: "I would certainly agree that whilst yoga brings about relief from my symptoms as the affected area is stretched and relaxed in turn, it has not provided a cure." CE Forman found they seemed to help at first, but not for long.
Lumbar extender
Brandon Smith and Anonymous reported success in getting rid of coccyx pain using a lumbar extender. Richard L found that it did not help him.

The tailbone, also known as the coccyx, is a small bone at the bottom of your spine or backbone. Tailbone problems can cause pain in the tailbone, pain when sitting and even pain in the arms or legs due to pressure from the tailbone. Strengthening and stretching the muscles near the tailbone can help alleviate pain and prevent future problems.
Pelvic Floor Strengthening
According to the Sports Injury Clinic, doctors often advise strengthening and relaxation exercises for the pelvic floor to treat tailbone injury. These pelvic floor exercises are also known as Kegel exercises or pelvic floor muscle training. The exercises are designed to make the pelvic floor stronger, which can help relieve tailbone problems and urinary incontinence. To perform these exercises, you need to identify the muscles, which can be done by stopping the flow of urine when you are urinating. Once you have identified the muscles, you can practice tightening them a few times a day on your own. Contract upward and inward, do not hold your breath, do not tighten your stomach and do not squeeze your legs.
Hip Stretches
Stretching the piriformis can help heal problems with the tailbone. The most popular piriformis stretch involves lying on your back with your feet on the floor and both knees bent. Cross one leg over the other and then grab the leg that is still on the floor and gently pull the legs toward you. When you feel a stretch in the hip area, hold for at least 20 seconds and then repeat with the other leg.
Buttocks Stretches
Buttocks muscle stretches also can help alleviate pain and stiffness in the tailbone area and around the ligaments that connect to the tailbone. To stretch the glutes, lie on your back with both legs extended straight in front of you. Bend one knee and reach to grab the knee and pull it toward your opposite shoulder until you feel a stretch. Hold for at least 20 seconds and then repeat with the other leg. Another glute stretch recommended by the Sports Injury Clinic is known as the gluteal stretch. Start by lying on your stomach. Lean up to bend one leg in front of you like it is a half butterfly stretch. Lean forward more and you can further rotate and flex the leg to increase the stretch. Hold the stretch for at least 20 seconds and then repeat with the other leg.
