Coccydynia Tailbone Pain Physiotherapy Bangalore — 8-Week Sitting Pain Relief Protocol | From ₹600
Coccydynia is persistent pain at the tailbone (coccyx) triggered by prolonged sitting, a fall or childbirth. Bangalore treatment combines pelvic-floor release, ischiococcygeal mobilisation, sitting-posture correction, and a wedge cushion — 85% of cases resolve in 8–12 weeks. Pro Physiotherapy sessions from ₹600.
Coccydynia — pain at the very tip of the tailbone — affects 5× more women than men and 3× more sedentary desk workers than active people. Triggers include a fall on the coccyx, childbirth, prolonged sitting on hard surfaces (a common Bengaluru IT-worker problem) and cycling. Pro Physiotherapy delivers an 8-week evidence-based protocol — external and internal pelvic-floor release, ischiococcygeal joint mobilisation, sitting posture correction, wedge cushion prescription and progressive core loading — across JP Nagar, HSR Layout, Whitefield, Sarjapur Road and Koramangala. Sessions from ₹600. Detailed session receipt for insurance reimbursement.
Understanding Coccydynia — Why Your Tailbone Hurts When You Sit
Coccydynia is pain arising from the coccyx (the terminal 3–5 fused segments of the sacrum). The pain is sharp when sitting on a hard surface, aching after prolonged sitting, and worst when moving from sitting to standing. It affects 1% of low-back-pain patients and is 5× more common in women.
Common Bengaluru triggers: (1) fall on the buttocks (from a scooter, staircase, gym box-jump), (2) postpartum tailbone bruising from vaginal delivery, (3) 10+ hours daily desk sitting on a hard chair, (4) heavy cycling without cushion, and (5) idiopathic — no clear trigger, often postural. Physiotherapy is the evidence-based first line — 85% resolve in 8–12 weeks (Foye 2016).
Day-1 Coccydynia Home Assessment
A 60-minute home visit covers a detailed pain history (mechanism, sitting posture, cycling, postpartum), coccyx palpation in prone with local tenderness mapping, pelvic-floor screen (external only unless internal indicated and consented), sitting posture photo audit in your usual work chair, and functional outcome baseline (VAS on hard chair × 30 min).
Red flags — persistent night pain unrelated to sitting, unexplained weight loss, prior pelvic malignancy — are referred for coccyx X-ray and MRI. Fracture history triggers a review of when to allow full seated loading.

8-Week Home Coccydynia Rehab Protocol
Wedge (donut) cushion prescription, sitting posture correction (posterior pelvic tilt while seated), NSAID as needed, gentle pelvic-floor down-training, avoid cycling.
External coccyx mobilisation (Maigne technique), sacroiliac joint mobilisation, gluteus maximus release, hip-flexor stretching. Internal coccygeal release only if indicated and consented — performed by a female clinician for female patients.
Down-training first (learn to relax the pelvic floor), then progressive activation. Diaphragmatic breathing. Introduce standing hip-hinge and dead bug for core support.
Progressive sitting duration on the affected chair with posture corrections. Wedge cushion weaning. Sport / cycling reintroduction if applicable.
