The Pelvic Chain Behind Tailbone Pain: What Clinicians Need to Know


Listen Later

If you treat postpartum clients with coccyx pain, this episode will change the way you assess – and dramatically improve your outcomes.

Today, Lynn breaks down the often-missed biomechanical and myofascial relationships between the sacrum, coccygeus, and sphincter complex that create a functional tug-of-war on the tailbone. You’ll learn why traditional approaches fall short, the three regions you must evaluate, and how targeted release work restores true pelvic balance.

✨ Episode Highlights:

  • The sacrum–sphincter–coccyx “tug-of-war” and why it drives persistent tailbone pain
  • How sacral flexion, ischial splay, and sphincter hyperlengthening commonly show up postpartum – and what they mean for mechanics
  • Why the coccygeus muscles are key players in coccyx tension
  • The impact of sphincter-complex knots on closure, bowel function, and compensatory tailbone strain
  • The three assessment zones every clinician should check to dramatically improve coccyx treatment

If you want clearer diagnostics, faster results, and more confident coccyx treatment plans, listen to this informative episode.
