I've suffered with sitting and getting up for 3 months now, I even went to a doctor and they told me everything was fine. As soon as I tried this it started working right away and my pain was less severe after the first try, thank you so much!
yo bro we're same i like go to the doctor and x ray and they said im overweight I've been suffering this pain for 5 years it all started when I was 7 my back hurt when i sit and stand up just like yours i hope you're better now I'm still not
@@revsilxnt3818 yeah ive had it for a year. its gotten a lot better from when it started but still hurts when i sit down for long periods of time. im so sorry to hear that yours hasn't gotten better.
Not only does it just hurt, it hurts when i sit down, laugh, cry, run, ride my bike, and walk. So when I saw that dude jump off the roof and missed the ball it started hurting again 🤣🤣🤣
So what I did was, me and my friends back when I was 15 or 16 we did what we like to call a Halo Double jump and I somehow missed the Landing on my feet part and ended up landing on my tailbone. I never told anyone about it... and for 6 or so months I couldn't sit on my butt all the way.. So Now I'm about to be 26 and I can't Do sit ups because it feels like my tailbone is stabbing me. I know the guys pain who fell off the roof..
Took a tumble on the stairs the other day, I think I may have bruised my tailbone. Haven't been walling too fast, having trouble going from standing to sitting and vice versa. This exercise gave me instant relief, and also relieved the pressure off of my hips. Thank you, this was a lifesaver!
You need to seek medical help if you can hopefully because I suffered something like that in my 20’s and today in my 40’s it’s chronic pain 😢 but I think chiropractic would help a lot it’s just hard to find one in this area of my country
I’ve had so many tailbone injuries over the years hitting boulders while tubing the Kern River that I live with permanent tailbone pain now. I just started doing this exercise 3 days ago and I already notice a huge difference! I had no idea it was just a dislocated tailbone issue. Always thought I had a permanent bruise or fracture. Thank you soooo much for this helpful video!!!
This exercise really does work. I was getting pretty desperate because I was in quite a bit of pain and couldn't get into my chiropractor. I came across this video and had almost instant pain relief after performing this exercise.
Woke up Friday morning with severe pain in the glutes around the tailbone , suffered for two days ..even simple actions like bending to pick up stuff off the floor was painful. Sunday morning found this video and did the stretch for about 10 mins and lost almost 95% of the pain over the course of the day. Definitely worked for me . Also think I got it from sitting crisscross - apple sauce for hours on my chair working in front of the computer at home. Thanks you so much Dr.Justin Lin !
This worked great! I lift constantly and anytime I deadlift I have tailbone pain. Everyone kept telling me to adjust my form, or brace my core properly but I’ve been lifting for years and knew that wasn’t the issue. For some reason, my tailbone area gets extra tight. Been doing this before I go in and deadlift and been helping relieve slot of pain
Hi, does it just go away some day? Or keeps coming but comes back much less times than before after doing this exercise?? Thanks alot. I'm so done with my tailbone
@@shishupaalane4476 the pain tends to come back. I sit most of the day for work, so I typically will do this exercise once a day or so when I am feeling discomfort or pain
@@Sublimelime7 After Deadlifting I Have Severe Tailbone Pain,So Please Tell Me When To Do These Exercises Because Pain Is Unbearable And After This Exercise Can We Able To Attempt Pr?
@@theeagle1001 I tend to try and think of this as an “exercise” not a “stretch”. I sometime do it for my lunch during work because I sit most of the day for my job. I’ll do it before and after deadlifting to relieve tension. Although I don’t do PR’s. I do more bodybuilding style workouts with reps around 6-8 for deadlifts or rack pulls.
Thank you.. I tried the exercise and almost immediately the pain subsided.. I’m in agony most days so will continue the exercises and hopefully will be pain free soon.
I’m a 14 yr old girl and I was at a park doing backflips off a swing I got wayyy too much air and landed on my tailbone 💀😭 I have a softball game tomorrow and idk if I’ll be able to show up for my team but I can try. I did this stretch and it helped so much thank you your a life safer 😭😭
Thank you so much! I’ve been having intense tailbone pain for the last 5 months out of the blue. I did your exercise for the first time today and immediately the pain diminished. I will continue doing this daily. 💛
Hi Vanessa. Is it the tailbpne itselfvwith pain or is it the muscle next to the coccyx like the pain im trying to rid on the left of the coccyx? Do you feel stronger and healed from this rxercise? I hope so. Im going to try this now at bedtime and pray to God that its gone when i wake up. Blessings to you and ALL.
@@cynthiamartinez3192 I would say the pain is directly in the middle, my coccyx being in the center. Try magnesium too! That made a load of difference in diminishing my pain.
@@rhythmdua999Very mild now. I started working out, still take magnesium, and started taking Diatamaceous Earth. My tailbone pain was primarily caused by an overly sedentary lifestyle (office job, long drives homes, uni student + more time on the computer at home).
Hey I wanted to say thank you for this video. It has helped me so much. I have been dealing with this pain for about 2 years. It felt like muscles around my tailbone were being crunched when I sat down. Doing this exercise while flexing out my glutes seemed to pull the muscles out to where they should be. After about a week of this my pain is nearly non existent. Thank you!
Hi, was your coccyx misaligned or it was just the inflammatory? I have been dealing with this issue myself for almost a year now and it really frustrates me because I can't sit comfortably. Can you help me in this regard?
@@AnaM-gu5mv Hey Ana. My coccyx was and is misaligned. I go to a chiropractor who specializes in muscle activation once a month now. I do this exercise from this video alongside my monthly visit and it has helped to keep the issue down. My chiro has found that my coccyx tends to get pulled to the right and that messes everything up down there. He is able to push it back in place and for a couple weeks it's amazing but tends to start to move back before my next appointment. I think I will start making an appointment every 2 weeks to help the coccyx relearn and hold the correct position again. I'm so sorry you are suffering from this same thing. It has taken me a couple years to figure out the root of my issue. I am 90% better than I was a year ago though thanks to stretching and exercises my glutes, hip flexors, and lower back. I believe my issue came from a weakness somewhere in there. A year or so back I was unable to sit in any way because the pain was so bad. I am sitting now and only feel a barely minor annoyance in my tailbone. Forcing your muscles to activate again can be a long journey but if you keep exercising all the muscles I listed before and go to a chiropractor to have your coccyx aligned I believe you can get to a point where it no longer bothers you :) Also making sure to keep inflammatory foods out of your diet as much as possible will help I believe!
Omg!!!! Thank you!!! I was just standing at work minding my business when all of a sudden I felt like I got sucker punched in the tail bone.. Hurt kinda bad standing and walking around. Drove to the day care and could barely stand up to go in.. Anyway long story short I found this video and have done the exercise twice now... It feels much better..
Excellent presentation! Keep up the good work. I noticed the pain in my coccyx that started gradually, then became more noticeable. My desk chair is history, so in the meantime I've been using a hard courtroom type of chair. Have used cushions, pads, etc, (but no donuts!) The pain was also present when I got up from the chair. I feel lucky that I found your posting. The exercise works for me, even though I just started it. The pain is the result of sitting for long periods of time on this great-looking courtroom chair, however, I new real desk chair is on the way. The heel press feels great. I'm increasing the time everyday. I have spinal stenosis, and that may have a connection, but the heel press feels good, and does not interfere with other spinal issues. Thank you very much!
Having a 10lb 8.5oz baby has damaged my tail bone . Can’t sit down without my special cushion for long. Even a short walk results in a lot of pain. My physio said they don’t have any exercises for tailbones. Doctor told me to take painkillers. My baby is one year old next month. Really thought it would be healed by now. Hopefully your exercise will help. 🤞
Wow! I was suffering with tailbone pain since from last 2 years, I tried this exercise yesterday and next day I almost got 90% relief. I think, I should continue with this to get permanent relief. Thank you so much!
I hurt it when I was doing a pull up and it wasn’t put on right so me and the pull up bar fell onto the hard floor and luckily my tailbone isn’t broken or fractured and the pull up bar hit my knee but that didn’t hurt at all basically, but my tailbone has been killing me for a week and so this video helped SO FRICKEN MUCH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much for this. Have had difficulty with this for months since I tried Kegels in Dec. It's not hurting now. I tried some other exercises on another video but didn't seem to help. This one relief within 2 days. Thank you, thank you from one PT to another.
I just started learning to snowboard yesterday, and it was pretty icy on the mountain. So needless to say, my tailbone hasn't been feeling the greatest. Hopefully this helps
I liked the way you explained it very clearly, you explained the medical terms & you showed a demonstration of possible mistakes, ppl do. It was great, tY Happy Holidays, be safe & stay healthy!
Now this is something hard to.believe but yes This exercise is just the best.I watched yr video last night crying in pain n did it today mrng n very instantly I could feel the decrease in pain. I understand this needs few reps.. Thank you so much..
4 months pregnant a fell on a split in the shower, from my left side of head to my left shoulder, left hip and foot in minor pain but awkward headache I tried exercise with No pain so I helped know that it’s not necessarily the tailbone
Now my heels hurt and my back still means I can't sit down. Great I've had this pain for 6 months This exercise isn't for anyone with ongoing coccyx issues (that aren't fractures)
Responding to the person:Red tape - Don’t know why you said your heals hurt? I got99% relief 😅 in a week. I used to cry so much pain PT didn’t help so I was researching on my own and happened across this and it changed my life!!!
@@michellebrown7449 Bro Can you please tell that the pain has parmanently gone or it just goes for some time and we'll have to keep doing this exercise again and again...Please tell🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please help me with my tailbone because my sister was kicking my back for massage and she kicked my tailbone a little bit too hard and it’s sore😂😂😂 thank you for helping me😊
I love how I felt this super Lowkey exactly how you mentioned it kinda hard for me to do it for long while noticing I am doing it right but practice makes perfect
I was sleeping I didn't move in my sleep though..but when I got up it was a slight pain and I didn't think much and it kept getting worse.Anither thing while doing this exercise it was hurting but then it helped.Thanks❤
So i was doing bulgarian squats and i think it is the one that caused it. But the pain is random it is not always there and its mild i dont even know how i triggers it i dont know what movement triggers it i just feel it. And today i was sitting on a root of a tree a non even surface and when i stood up it hurt but i was still able to run.
I really have no idea as to how i got this pain, all i remember is i bent a little to rinse my couple of clothes that's it and I had difficulty in standing straight since then I am with tha pain but I just came across your advice on exercise, which i will try instantly wish me luck from this awful pain and if works i shall share my testimony surely. 🙏
I have had pain for years. Nothing helps! Mostly the pain is when I sit over 15 minutes. Anything over 15 minutes and it is very painful. I'm going to try this. Hopefully it helps some. When I stand from. A sitting position, especially in a car it's the worst pain i have ever had.
I tried this. I think its great. Only issue is i had a surgery from a torn acl, followed by a meniscus tear years ago, so it’s too much pressure on my knees 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I felt something tear in the exercise. Now my tailbone feels like it’s on fire. And not in a good way And since everyone’s saying how they got their pain I’ll say how I got mine. 15 hour grind session on CS:GO.
my tail bone started hurting out of nowhere and this became really annoying at night lol i couldnt lay down straight without it hurting. heard it happens when you sit for too long maybe i do idk but thank you!!
I’ve been suffering for quite some time. No fall. I tried the exercise and it gave me some relief with the severity that I was suffering. I was so shocked because none of the other things really worked soooo I tried all kinds of things but this actually does work thank you Dr. Linn. Just one question how long do we keep doing it does it actually strengthen it to the point that we don’t have to do it anymore?
If it is still severe after a few weeks of doing the exercise, you should get an X-ray to see if you have a fracture in the tailbone, because that may be what’s causing the long term pain.
My understanding is there's nothing they can do if it's a fracture and that you can't even see those on an xray. Are those things true? If so, what can be done for a fracture and what imaging is needed?
I’m a pole dancer and I either bruised or fractured (not sure which) doing a butterfly and I don’t have the option for bed rest because of my job. I’m going to try this and comment if it worked
Thanks for putting this out there. I have no idea what is wrong with mine but that stretch did do ok for it. I did get a leg cramp but my whole spine is pretty jacked. Lots of surgery in the past. I have an appointment with my surgeon and zim going to ask him if seeing a chiropractor is ok for his work he did on me to be safe. Its like the top part of the tailbone has come out and the bottom part is up and in kinda. I think its effecting my pelvic floor because when I bare down to go, I have pain in the bottom part of my tailbone. It feels like its on the inside tho. My tail bone itches a lot for some reason like its healing. I have ibs-c on top of this so my life is a living hell for the last year. I've lost a ton of weight I'm sick as hell with it all. Im 5'11 and weigh 132 lbs right now. Any relief is appreciated thanks for putting this video out! You dont have to share this info and most don't because they want your business in office. I can watch a couple ads and hit the thumb for you.
I have the same issues as you. I'm not sure what happened because my tailbone seemed to come out of nowhere. I have had lower back pain for years (do to having 4 children). I also feel my tailbone intensify when I have a BM, and my tailbone also itches a little at random times. I hope you have found some relief!!
Hey Doc thank you for the video.... I'm from India... I commute by a moped alot... Any I'll try this... I've been suffering on and off for about 10+ years..
How? Rollerskating/ rollerblading with no hip- butt skate pads. The butt pads do not show through mini skirts and shorts, unless I want them too. But while impatiently waiting for my orthopedic appointment, I am becoming a master at headstands on my inversion yoga chair and aireal yoga silk. It temporary takes pressure off the tailbone. My zero gravity chair made my tailbone hurt worse but helps either the Sciatica or pulled muscle in my left gluteous. Been wearing my skate butt pads all the time.
How did i hurt my tailbone? A piece of metal the size of my pinky slammed sideways into my buttcrack. It hurt a ton then was fine for like 6 hours til i drove my car. It hurt most later driving home. Doing situps hurts the most at this point
I don't really feel anything in that area when I squeeze my heels together, but when I actually release the pressure there's a tremendous amount of pain in my coccyx area.
I fell on my tail bone and have been in pain for 2 days i got some xrays done n it is not fractured or broken if i try this exercise would it benefit im afraid that if i try it will cause more pain
i fell once while ice skating like 5 years ago. Since then doing any excersises that involve sitting up or sitting on your tailbone( situps, leg rowing, etc) and sitting on really hard chairs for long times. I never got it checked because for the most part it doesnt hurt. I have no idea what i did to it. Im hyperflexibal so i have a lot of issue with joints that are sore and over used ( knees and heels) I don't know if my tailbone is the same problem or if i somehow did something when i feel and permanantly fucked it up
HI, This is not a scam. I had this pain for more than 3 years. But after drinking THIS it disappeared in 8 days. I am not kidding. Our body has the capabilities to cure itself. But the signal gets weaker as we age. This really helps. Let me know if you are interested in trying.
@Rehab and Revive As you said we need to stop the excercise when shakiness stops. What shakiness mean here. Tailbone shakiness or heel shakiness? Can someone reply to this who got cured with this video. Would be so helpful
