Coccyx pain is pain that originates from the tailbone. It can start after an acute injury such as a fall and childbirth, or gradually build up over time in cases such as pregnancy, sitting for long periods or from overactive pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor physios can assist with coccyx pain as we are trained in internal assessments to assess and treat the pelvic floor muscles.

Pain driven by the pelvic floor muscles can present as pain in the lower abdomen, groin, penis, testicles, perineum, anus, rectum or coccyx. People can also present with urinary and bowel issues and sexual dysfunction. This may present as bladder symptoms such as difficulty initiating the flow, stop/start flow, difficulty fully emptying, increase in frequency of emptying, nocturia (aka getting up in the night to go). It can also present as bowel issues, mainly constipation and sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction or pain with intimacy.
