Tail Bone Pain During Pregnancy Treatment
Tail bone pain can cause aching or sharp discomfort at the base of your spine, making walking, sitting, and sleeping difficult. At Calyx in Singapore, our physiotherapists provide expert, gentle care focused on your comfort and your baby’s wellbeing. Relief is possible, and we’re here to help you move with confidence.
What Is Tail Bone Pain During Pregnancy Treatment?
Treatment focuses on easing inflammation, realigning the pelvis, and relieving pressure on the coccyx. At Calyx, we use gentle, evidence-based methods tailored to your pregnancy stage. Our aim is to reduce pain while supporting your posture, pelvic floor health, and ease of movement.
Is This Safe for Me?
Yes. All treatments are carefully tailored for safety throughout every trimester. Our physiotherapists have extensive experience with pregnancy and postpartum care, ensuring every technique is gentle and suitable for you and your baby.
Who Should Consider Tail Bone Pain Treatment?
If you are pregnant and feel pain or discomfort when sitting, changing positions, or moving from lying down to standing, tail bone treatment may provide relief. This pain often worsens after long car rides or sitting on firm surfaces.

Do I Need a Referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us. If needed, we’re happy to coordinate care with your OBGYN or GP.
-
Is This Suitable Before or After Childbirth? Or Both?
Tail bone pain often starts during pregnancy and can continue after childbirth. Treatment is suitable at any stage, whether you are preparing for birth or recovering after delivery.
Symptoms and Signs You May Benefit from Tail Bone Pain Treatment
Common signs include:
- Sharp or aching pain in the lower back near the tailbone
- Pain when sitting or rising from a seated position
- Discomfort when going from lying to sitting
- Sensation of pressure or pain when using the toilet
- Radiating pain into the buttocks or thighs
During pregnancy, increased tailbone mobility and added weight can cause pain when sitting or moving. Pressure during bowel movements may worsen discomfort. Some women also feel aching that spreads to the buttocks or thighs, especially when sitting on hard surfaces.
What Happens During Your Session
Every session begins with a thorough understanding of your pregnancy journey, symptoms, and comfort levels. We work collaboratively with you to create a treatment plan that supports your body and your goals.
-
Will There Be an Internal Assessment?
External treatments like manual therapy, taping, and positioning advice are effective for many cases of tailbone pain. However, if pelvic floor dysfunction is suspected to contribute to your pain, your physiotherapist may recommend an internal assessment to provide more targeted and lasting relief, always with your full consent.
-
Do I Need to Prepare or Bring Anything?
Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing. Bring along any medical notes if available, and let us know which trimester you’re in so we can adjust your session accordingly.
-
What Happens After the Session?
You’ll be given clear guidance on positions to avoid, gentle stretches, and daily activities that promote healing. We may also provide simple management strategies like using cushions or modifying your sitting postures.
Techniques and Tools We May Use
- Soft tissue release
- Gentle pelvic mobilisation
- Tail bone unloading strategies
- Supportive taping
- Postural correction and ergonomic advice
-
Is It Painful or Uncomfortable?
Our priority is your comfort. You may feel pressure or stretching, but techniques are always within your pain-free range.
-
How We Ensure Safety in Each Method
We use evidence-based techniques and continuously monitor your comfort. All treatments are carefully adapted to your stage of pregnancy, movement ability, and personal preferences to ensure your safety and wellbeing.
Your Progress and Results Over Time
-
How Soon Will I See Improvement?
Many women report a reduction in discomfort after the very first session. Ongoing relief often improves with a few targeted follow-ups.
-
How Often Will I Need Sessions?
This varies, but we usually recommend weekly sessions initially, tapering to fortnightly as symptoms improve.
-
Will I Need Maintenance Visits?
Maintenance can be helpful during the later stages of pregnancy or if tail bone pain returns postpartum. You may benefit from one-to-one preventive check-ins or by enrolling in Rooted for Birth, our signature programme designed to keep you strong, mobile, and well-prepared for pregnancy and childbirth.
-
What Do I Need to Do at Home?
We’ll equip you with safe home exercises, ergonomic sitting tips, and modifications for daily tasks. Your comfort between sessions is as important as during sessions.
