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.

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.
