Exercise for coccyx pain

Yoga

Two patients have reported success in getting rid of coccyx pain using yoga, Saurabh, AJ. The exercises that they used were:

Shalbasana, Bhujangasana and Ardha shalabh asana

On the other hand, Jo has used these exercises and said: "I would certainly agree that whilst yoga brings about relief from my symptoms as the affected area is stretched and relaxed in turn, it has not provided a cure." CE Forman found they seemed to help at first, but not for long.

Lumbar extender

Brandon Smith and Anonymous reported success in getting rid of coccyx pain using a lumbar extender. Richard L found that it did not help him.
