Tailbone Pain While Sitting? Here’s What You Need to Know

Introduction
Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia, can turn everyday tasks like sitting, driving, or working into a painful experience. If you’ve been feeling discomfort at the base of your spine, especially while sitting, you may be dealing with an often overlooked but treatable condition.
What is Coccydynia?
Coccydynia is pain in the coccyx — the small triangular bone at the end of the spine. It can feel dull, sharp, or even burning, and often worsens when sitting, standing from a seated position, or leaning back.
Common Causes:
• Sitting on hard or uneven surfaces
• Falls or trauma
• Post-childbirth strain
• Poor posture
• Internal misalignment of the coccyx
• Unknown causes (idiopathic)
Why Sitting Makes It Worse
The coccyx bears direct pressure during sitting, especially if the tailbone is inflamed or misaligned. Without correction, this leads to chronic pain, tight muscles, and altered movement patterns.
My Approach to Tailbone Pain Treatment
As a physiotherapist specializing in coccydynia, I use a structured and evidence-based approach focused on root correction.
✅ Manual Coccyx Mobilization
A highly targeted internal technique to correct coccyx alignment and relieve pressure. It is done professionally, ethically, and always with informed consent.
✅ Pelvic Rehab Program (headline only)
Customized exercises to activate, stabilize, and strengthen the core-pelvic region.
✅ Ergonomic & Lifestyle Coaching (headline only)
Postural training, use of coccyx cushions, and sitting adaptations.
When to Seek Help
Don’t ignore persistent tailbone pain. Consult a specialist if:
• Pain lasts over 2–3 weeks
• Sitting becomes unbearable
• Pain radiates to hips, back, or thighs
• You’ve tried treatments without results
Takeaway
Coccydynia is real, but it’s also treatable. You don’t need to suffer in silence or settle for painkillers alone. With the right manual therapy and focused care, recovery is possible.
