Coccyx pain is a common, frustrating condition for the patient who often has difficulty sitting, one of the most important tasks necessary for daily activity. Patients who find help from a pelvic rehabilitation provider have often experienced pain near the tailbone for long periods of time, leading to chronic pain in addition to neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions. This one-day, remote continuing education course allows the therapist to focus on this vital, sensitive area to learn and refine skills in assessment and treatment. Anatomy, pathology, and palpation skills of the coccyx region is instructed.

This course includes a video lab on both internal and external neuromusclar taping techniques which can immediately be applied in the clinic. This course also includes a review of seating options to reduce pain.

Loved this curriculum- very easy to understand with how thoroughly it was explained so everyone in the course could get a lot out of it. Absolutely fantastic instruction! I learned so much and am so motivated to keep learning and practicing in this area of the field! Loved the visual demonstrations, as well as the real examples she provided. Very engaging- wasn’t bored at all (which is not easy to achieve on Zoom)."
