How to use a Pelvic floor wand for Tail bone pain and Rectal Release

In this guided video, a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist demonstrates how a pelvic floor wand may be used to support rectal muscle release and tailbone (coccyx) pain associated with pelvic floor muscle tension.

This real-time, step-by-step guide focuses on a gentle, nervous-system-led approach, including:

• Understanding how pelvic floor tension can contribute to tailbone pain

• Safe positioning and comfort-led wand use

• Breath work to support muscle relaxation

• Techniques to reduce guarding and improve mobility

• Common mistakes to avoid

Pelvic floor wands are not designed to force release or push through pain. They are most appropriate for people with assessed pelvic floor muscle overactivity and should be used with education and guidance.

This video is intended for people experiencing:

• Tailbone (coccyx) pain

• Pelvic floor muscle tension

• Discomfort with sitting or bowel movements related to muscular guarding

Important Note: Pelvic pain is complex and individual. Pelvic floor wands are not appropriate for everyone. If symptoms are severe, worsening, or unexplained, individual assessment by a pelvic health professional is recommended.
