Your pelvic floor muscles attach around the base of your pelvis, including near the tailbone.
So when those muscles are holding a lot of tension, they can actually pull on the tailbone and create pain in that area.
This can show up as:
pain with sitting,
pain going from sit to stand,
or just that constant dull ache that never fully goes away.
A lot of people think tailbone pain only comes from injury or from the bone itself, but sometimes the real issue is tension in the pelvic floor muscles.
So if you’ve been stretching, shifting around, or sitting on cushions and it still isn’t getting better, it may be time to look deeper.
Tailbone pain is often more than just a tailbone problem.
If this sounds like you, pelvic floor physical therapy can help get to the root cause.
