While doing this I felt nothing. Ok, so it didn't work.Not! About 15 minutes later, I got very hot, felt like I was about to faint & remembered I flew off a swing when I was about 8 and was paralyzed and unable to speak for about 15 minutes.I suddenly started to tear up and wanted to call my mom- but Im 62 & she died 3 yrs ago- so I just sat with that pain. Wow! I have to continue to do it because I also got stuck on my bike in gravel two yrs ago and was so afraid to just fall sideways on my leg that I hoisted myself into the air , landed on my tailbone & rolled on my wrist & broke it .I continually have this haunted feeling that I actually caused this to happen and I have trouble facing it.I'm sure there is a lot of trauma there to explore.
I was thrown from a truck when I was 15 and I landed on my tailbone so hard it broke my spine in several places and compacted my discs. I've never had work done but I can tell I need it because I've been in extreme pain ever since. I'm almost 50 now. This area always hurts me a lot. I'm going to get a ball and try this. I also experience major nerve damage that bothers me 24/7 and you said this place has a lot of nerves so in hoping it will help with the pain.
I think this will help - just go SLOW and GENTLE at first, and make sure to combine this with fascia release of other key areas for pelvic stability, like your high adductors (inner thigh) and quads/quad hip flexors. The IT Band can also play a big role in falls, if you fell sideways onto your tailbone/butt/leg. I believe you can heal!
My physio recommended franklin balls for me. They are so much softer and slightly larger than tennis balls... they work well. Anything else leaves me spasmed for days in unnecessary pain.
I fell while jumping on my trampoline as a young teen, landed on the outer bar. I remember it hurt for a very long time, but never got it checked out. I'll bet that has something to do with my glute/hip/low back pain. I'm also thinking that having 3 c-sections probably hasn't helped my lower abs either, my youngest is 17. Definitely gonna try this!
Absolutely, those C sections will have an impact. These are classic signs/symptoms matching pelvic instability, which happens when one or more deep core muscles (like glutes, transverse abdominus, QL, psoas etc) stop firing.
I slipped on my icy driveway and fell right onto my tailbone in February 2019. Still hurts 1.5 years later when I get up from sitting on the couch. I can't wait to try your techniques.
Gosh just currently receiving some physio on my sore right hip. For years people have told me that I have lazy glutes. But when I was about 11 I fell on my tailbone falling out of a tree. Maybe that’s been the cause of all my pain,all along. Thank you 🙏
I appreciate this knowledge. Thank you so much. As scapegoat... recovering...Was 'programmed' for off balance. Also don't know how hard or not I'm touching something, yes, processing stuff. Am going with, the body/mind connection, heal the body, heal the mind. Blind faith for neuroplasticity. Not sure what else. For today. Thank you for this 🙏
I fell backwards off of the edge of my bathtub, about 7 months ago, I did feel sore, but, nothing else( at least not for the first three months!) A few months later, had pain from sit to stand( severe) and it was getting worse, I saw a pain management doctor and proceeded with sacroiliac joint injections, it helped for two weeks! Now( two months later) am feeling the pain again, very deep ache feeling and muscle spasm( oh forgot, I did fracture the coccyx from the fall) so, will be starting PT in a week, and hope SOMETHING WORKS🙏🏻
Absolutely. Scar tissue doesn't just go away. Fascia can become dense due to impact injuries and it won't just soften on its own, it usually needs help. The compensations are what end up causing pain later, but the root cause could be something like falling on your tailbone years or decades earlier.
I have pain just while sitting. I had no fall, just had a period of a lot driving in the car and now have horrible tailbone pain. It’s been about 5 months. Will this help?
I fell REALLY hard on my tailwind when I was 11 and it hurt for a long time. It never occurred to me that could cause me pain even now. But at the same time I am hypermobile, so I don't know
I fractured my coccyx bone nealry 15 yers ago on a nastly fall during a bad turbulence in the airplane. Just left it as is. Is it safe for me to do this exercise? Thank you
Hey - I can't offer advice like this online when I don't know the rest of your injury history, medications you're taking or whether you're doing the technique as I show in the video. For example, if anyone is ever on osteoporosis drugs, I would never recommend this. Most people who use my free techniques trust themselves to figure out if it's safe for them or not, which is what I always encourage you to do - get to know your body so well that you can always be the one who knows whether something is right or wrong for you. I have a lot of other videos on this aspect of self-healing (mindset and getting to know your body).
Great answer! Just "found" your channel while looking for self-help fascia release and lymph drainage/health. Will add the emotional trauma release to the equation. THANKS for all of the FREE helpful information.
I have fallen on my tailbone many times and also injured it during childbirth twice. Is this safe to do if you are experiencing piriformis syndrome? I'm thinking it might help, but I thought I would check.
I applaud you for checking 🙌🏽 I would definitely suggest you START with quad hip flexor and high adductor fascia release (I have techniques on the channel here), and then I would TRY this technique gently/slowly and stay OUT of your gluteus medious/piriformis area. It sounds like you're experiencing some form of pelvic instability and compensation, leading to piriformis syndrome (pain). Let me know how it goes 💛
When I was 14, I tried to jump into a pool but my friend stopped me and I landed hard on my tailbone on the side of the pool. It didn't break but I was sidelined for 6 weeks. I'm not sure if it was the cause of my chronically tight hips and low back, but maybe it was. I am currently using your hip flexor technique as I have a painful clumpy area on the front lateral left hip under the bony protrusion (about 2 inches below). I am also using the TFL release as that area is very painful when I press on it. I have pain now when I walk in the left sacroiliac area and just below that area in the buttock. It doesn't seem to want to leave (6 weeks of this). How would you go about getting rid of it?
I suspect there's an area of dense fascia in your hamstring/IT Band junction. This tends to show up in all of my clients who fell at some point, and now have pain in their hip/butt area. I have a few different IT Band techniques on the channel you can try, although I have to be honest - the adhesions in this area are really hard to get to on your own. I get them in my clients by stepping on them, which gives me a lot of leverage since I'm coming DOWN onto the IT Band vs you placing your weight onto a foam roller, which compresses all the tissue and hides the adhesion. Ironically, I'm planning to release a version of my IT Band release technique that involves a partner stepping on you. Monday. So hopefully you have a partner that can help you out? Stay tuned 😊
You can, but it could trigger spasms and heaps of pain. The balls are safer because you control the pressure and timing. Start really small. Listen intently to your body, and write notes... so you can work out what helps you and what is too much.

🎉🎉🎉🎉yes, an amazing release of emotion-joy!
I can move without pain.
Yay!!!

Wonderful. Very Informative. Thank You for taking the time to make this video

This was a great release. I used a raquetball in the bathtub.
Awesome stuff
Thank you, how long or how many times can I do this excercise ?
So how do I know if it is effective? I am completely new to this and doing it for the first time. Do I stay longest on the most tender spots?
Can injury in tail bone 15 years back be the cause of pelvic instability that you're having currently?
Absolutely. Scar tissue doesn't just go away. Fascia can become dense due to impact injuries and it won't just soften on its own, it usually needs help. The compensations are what end up causing pain later, but the root cause could be something like falling on your tailbone years or decades earlier.
Brilliant explanation, I just got a vibrating roller, but this did the trick, thank you.
Glad to hear this helped!

@@ElishaCeleste will do. I am hypermobile and I think I definitely have pelvic instability. Thank you!!
How about sitting in a chair while doing it and using the armrests?

An ice skater here. Yep, lots of falling on my butt!
Stairs
Can you or a massage therapist gently massage the area ?
You can, but it could trigger spasms and heaps of pain. The balls are safer because you control the pressure and timing. Start really small. Listen intently to your body, and write notes... so you can work out what helps you and what is too much.
