Welcome at the tailbone therapist

Welcome at my website about tailbone problems. An issue that is not understood by most doctors and therapists, but something that is often easy to treat. Quick, effective and mostly even painless.

You can find all you need to know about tailbone problems and the treatment on this website.


Tailbone pain / Coccydynia

Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia, mostly is a very unpleasant problem. It is a complaint that can lead to a lot of pain and strong limitations in daily life. Sitting is mostly the main problem. In the medical as well as therapeutical world, there is still little known about what can be done about these problems. The doctor, physiotherapist and manual therapist mostly are just taught that the tailbone ‘is there’ and often that’s about all they learn about it in their educations. Even the pelvic therapist can often do little about it.

Althought there is quite some knowledge available about these problems nowadays and that they can often be very well treated, most doctors tell their patients with tailbone that nothing can be done about it, prescribe painkillers (what is solely focused on the symptom relieve) or refer them to the hospital or clinic. There the doctors mostly try to interrupt the a disrupted pain cycle if that is present, and do that with medication through injections. In half of the cases this offers the solution for the problems, for the other 50% it unfortunately doesn’t lead to a structural solution or more than a temporarily relieve.

Because of this people often suffer tailbone problems for a long time. Often until they start doing the research themselves and find a specialised therapist. You found one here and all about what and how you can find collegues of me, is on this website. Even people that have tailbone problems for a long time or with a lot of pain, in more than 75% of the cases they leave pain- and problem free and often after only a few treatments.

It is good to see that also the mainstream media is picking up that there is a treatment available for these problems. By clicking on the link below, you will find an article in Het Algemeen Dagblad (which also was published in the Belgium newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws) from June 2023 about tailbone problems. Unfortunately it is only available in Dutch.

Testimonials

from Zorgkaart Nederland 30/11/2022

For years I was unable to sit normally due to tailbone problems. After asking my doctor for help a few times, I thought there was nothing left then accepting my “prominating” tailbone or to undergo a scary operation. Until I was referred to Roel. A problem he immediately understood, included me well in what he saw and how he would solve it with a small movements, free of pain. After 15 minutes it was already done, freed of my pain by one simple and fully painfree treatment. A breath of fresh air!

Very good treatment. Quick and effectivly my tailbone problem was gone that I had for a long time. Very pleasant guidance by Roel.

Very satisfied with Roel. After 1 treatment already freed from my tailbone problem. I should have done this way sooner. I really recommend it!

For years I wasn’t able to sit normally due to tailbone pain. After seeking help several times of my GP, I thought there was nothing left then accepting my “deviated” tailbone of to undergo a scary operation. Until I was referred to Roel. A problem he understood straight away, explained to me what he saw and it simply solved it in a completely painfree way and a minor movement. After 15 minutes I was outside again, freed of my pain by one simple and totally pain free session. A relief!

For years I had problems in my lower back and tailbone and I visited multiple physiotherapists and chiropractors for it. Roel made the right diagnose at the first appointment and after already 3 sessions the problems were gone. This was beyond all expectations. I thought I had to accept my pain but it turned out to be easily solvable. State of the art and treatments in a pleasant atmosphere.

After more than a year of pain in my tailbone after mainly long sitting, I visited Roel 4 months ago. Already after 1 treatment I was able to sit again and my problems disappeared for 70%! After a few (painfree) treatments with a pleasant and clear communication I am painfree now. I am very satisfied and super happy!

After I fell at the iceskating track, I walked around with persistent tailbone pain for around 9 months. Through referral I ended up at Roel Wilbers. Where my GP told me there was nothing to do about tailbone pain, Roel helped me a lot within a few sessions. Already after the first treatment I had a significantly less pain at the tailbone. Also he is an extremely nice and friendly person. Tailbone pain? Don’t keep walking around with it, there are ways to treat it!

Treatment of tailbone pain. I got the tip to consult Roel for this and that’s something I am grateful for. Very professional and adequate treatment. After first a few questions about how the pain started, he figured out quickly what was wrong. And also how to directly fix it. I was impressed and felt immediate relief. The pain quickly decreased and after two days it was back to normal. Top! Kind regards, Tim

Had tailbone problems for over 3 years. After a long search eventually found this fantastic phtysiotherapist. After 1 treatment there was a huge difference and my daily activities were free of pain. I doubted to have a second session because I was able to do so much more already and after consulting with him, am happy I took that one. I am completely painfree, also after long distances of walking/biking or a lot of heavy lifting.  Roel wilbers is easy to get in touch woth and is able to help you quickly. Also the explanations about what he is going to do, what he noticed and what he did and that he likes to hear from you what you experienced, bring a nice flow to his treatments. My talbone was after two sessions completely aligned again!

The therapists I was looking for for a long time! Not only he helped me surprisingly quick to get rid of my long lasting tailbone pain, he also gave me a broader perspective about how they occurred and why they didn’t go away. He goes beyond the just western approach and that’s what gave me a lot of insight. Thank you Roel!

Very good and knowledgeable therapist. He treated me for tailbone pain and sensed the problem and all around it very well. He listens carefully and looks beyond the just mechanical and treats it effective and adequate. Within three sessions I was problem free. I am very satisfied with Roel and can recommend him to everybody.

from Zorgkaart Nederland 2/4/2020

I went to Roel with tailbone problems and pain. After the first treatment the problems already reduced significantly and the pain was gone. After the second treatment the problems were completely gone. Roel is one of the few therapists that is able to correct the tailbone from externally. Next to his quick and effective treatment, he is a nice and friendly therapist.

from Zorgkaart Nederland 29/7/2019

I ended up with Roel for my (spontaneous) tailbone pain because he specializes in this. I was very satisfied with the treatment and Roel listens very well to what you say and also to what the body communicates in the pain. The tailbone pain reduced significantly after each session. He is next to a professional and knowledgeable physiotherapist, someone that thinks with you, is empathetic and nice to communicate with; wherefore I can really recommend him.

from Zorgkaart Nederland 21/12/2018

Roel treated the problems in my tailbone very well and is next to a very good physio, also a very nice person!
