The Coccyx and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Course overview

All pelvic floor muscles attach to the coccyx, yet many physical and occupational therapists treating pelvic floor disorders have not undergone specific training to examine the coccyx or provide treatment for impairments relating to the coccyx. This course will examine the importance of the coccyx to the function of the pelvic floor muscles and discuss how coccyx impairments may contribute to pelvic floor muscle disorders. PTs and OTs will learn direct coccyx examination techniques to identify coccyx impairments. Therapeutic treatment options for coccyx impairments will be explored and demonstrated for immediate clinical application.
