Self Help for 
Tailbone Pain

Tailbone pain is more common than most sufferers realize.  It is typically worst in sitting, and can severely limit your ability to work, drive, or even find a comfortable position to rest in.  Fortunately it is treatable, and there are some tools that can be used to assist in your therapy.  These tools are typically used as part of a specific, personalized, prescribed home exercise and self-treatment program. 

You should receive a comprehensive physical therapy evaluation to assess your needs, and be taught how to use any self treatment tool before you attempt to use it yourself.
