Coccygeal Pain

The coccyx can be damaged or displaced by landing hard on your bottom. The sacroccygeal joint where the coccyx articulates with the sacrum has many pain receptors and can jam, stretch or twist. The coccyx is an important attachment point for some of the main muscles which make up what is known as the Pelvic Floor, and can have an influence on bladder, bowel and sexual organ function. Tight fascia in the pelvic floor can pull on the coccyx resulting in pain further up your spine. Coccyx displacement and tight fascia in the pelvic floor can be released with myofascial release
