I stumbled upon your videos tonight and find them encouraging. I am 36 and trying to get my back feeling better from a presumed bulging/herniated lumbar disc. I carry around a 65lb disabled child and then a deadlift at the gym brought about some acute pain 🥴 No imaging done but I went through a short course of the McKenzie method with a local PT. He was good at his job but wouldn't ever explain which muscles we were stretching. I'm an RN and naturally curious-are there any particular muscles that are prone to causing pain in the tailbone area? That is where I feel my discomfort a lot and can't seem to find any clear answers. Thanks! And good job on the videos!
Hi Heather. The area I would first look into is the spine. Many times people with tailbone/hip pain will also be limited in spinal rotation towards the symptomatic side. There is typically also a limitation in spinal extension. After we clear the spine as the possible cause then I would look into the hip. The glutes can refer pain into the tailbone. You could try some self-myofascial release at the glutes to see if it helps. Here's a video: ruclips.net/video/6oNZg1Ll4r0/видео.html Finally, stretching isn't the solution nearly all people need. They really need proper strengthening. If a muscle is tight it's typically tight due to some weakness or instability in the joint or a nearby joint. I know that was a lot of information and it's nearly impossible for me to really help without seeing you. But I do hope that helps in some way. Good luck with everything, I hope you find a solution!
@@KaizenPhysicalTherapy thanks so much for the insight! It definitely points me in the right direction! I have definitely done a refresher on the musculoskeletal system doing all this research 🥴😆
