Tailbone Pain: A Missing Piece

What's something we overlook or miss when it comes to treating tailbone pain?

Remember that tailbone pain is a non-specific diagnosis.  It's just as description of symptoms!

So it's up to us to do a true differential diagnosis and understand the 'why' of what is going on.

But something I think we miss is treating rectally in quadruped. 

Why quadruped?  Well, it's the best position - in my opinion - to approximate the hip flexion and position where most patients experience their tailbone pain.  It gives us a lot of control over their positioning in non-weight bearing position.

Also, there are some major limitations with treating rectally in side-lying and supine that we get into within this 'sode.

If you want to learn more about rectal treatment - for all different diagnoses - check out the Rectal Evaluation and Treatment course as well!  (www.pelvicptrising.com/rectal).
