Pain on direct coccyx area pressure: coccydynia or nerves? What to do?

[physiobob]

Hi again Frankie

I would have suggested the same exercise/release actually, perhaps with a foam roller too as it is a little less aggressive and could be used in addition to the ball version. Also a simple stability exercise while you are there. Often it is the opposite (to the painful side) buttock area that needs the release. You might find some sort of 'plough' based yoga exercise to strengthen the abdominals and hip flexors in an eccentric fashion might help too. A pilates studio or gyrotonic exercise class would address those in depth. However as a general comment an online assessment and comment is somewhat limited as the physical examination and observation in the clinic is important. So I am just providing some ideas to investigate.

regards
