Free therapy sessions
Below you will find a few specific exercises that can be a complete therapy session for your tailbone problems and I would like to share with you. Because these are specific, they are not mentioned on the page Tips and Exercises. Feel free to have a look at those and try them out as well of course.
Op deze pagina vind je een paar specifieke oefeningen die een complete behandeling voor je stuitklachten kunnen vormen en ik graag met je wil delen.
Exercise to connect with your tailbone
This exercise is about connecting with your tailbone area. The better you are able to do that and can experience what is going on there, and that is often more than just the painful sensation, the better you can understand what the body needs and how to support it in the recovery. Also there is the universal law that where attention goes, energy flows. Try this exercise and experience what t does for you. If it feels beneficial, use it to your advantage and as often as you like, with or without the video.

Exercise for grounding and more body connection

We are often stuck in our heads and this interferes with the ability to feel what our system needs. Also when it comes to recovery of injured areas.
This exercise helps you to connect better to your body and the earth beneath us.
Exercise for hamonising the pelvic halfs
This exercise I developped to bring more balance between the both sides of the pelvis. The exercise can be used diagnostic to experience where there is the most tension and what area need most attention. By doing this exercise you will besides get more balance in tension between the both sides of the pelvis, gain more mobility in the pelvic joints, increase the coordination in the pelvic area and bring awareness to the pelvic floo and tailbone, what contributes to the healing of problems and blockages in this area.
The exercise pose
This exercise can best be done sitting. This is the most practical pose because we often sit dureing the day and can then easily practise in the meanwhile. You can feel the esecrise best by sitting a bit forard, so at the front of the sittingbones. With tailbone pain this is also often the sitting position that had the least pressure and irritation for the tailbone. This can be done leaning with the ellbows on a table or on the knees to give even more space to the tailbone. If the meditation pose is prefered, this is also possible. Also here as long as the pose doesn’t trigger any pain. If the sitting position is causing discomfort, you can also choose to sit on a special pillow for tailbone relieve of a flat rolled up small towel for under the sitting bones (see for more explanation of this tips and exercises).
Alternative postures are the wide kneeled childspose and the ‘happy baby’ pose. In both there is a bit more stretch on the pelvic flooe and no direct pressure on the tailbone. For the childspose you sit doen on your knees and make sure that the knees as well as the ankles are wide enough apart that you can sit between your feet. From here bring the upper body forward so the head touches the floor or is a close as possible to it and put your arms beside you on the floor. For the happy baby pose you lie down on your back and grab your knees so they can fall sidewards. Even more stretch will occur by putting the soles of the feet together and take the ankles with your hands.
The contact with the surcace below and the stretch and tension on the different parts of the pelvic floor with the diverse poses, can influence how easy and well you can feel and do the movements. While sitting there is the most tactile feedback and most movements are experienced best.
Mental pose
Aim your attention on where you want that the input takes place. This can be your tailbone, the area besides it, the pelvic floor, the pelvic joints or somewhere else. Feel where the attention it is needed most and aim it there so the exercise can be directed in such a way that the benefit is maximum.
Tips:
- move slowly and controlled and so specifically aiming as possible
- keep holding in mind that the aim is hamonising the both pelvic sides
- feel as precisely as possible what happens around the sittingbones, the tailbone and there where you experience pain
- be aware of where the tensions are and releases of it occur by movement or focused stretch
- the staring pose as well as the movements have to be painfree, when dicomfort occurs adjust the intensity or skip this part of the exercise
Below there is the audio that guides you through the exercise.
