Pelvic Pain Conditions

Pelvic pain can present in many ways and may be constant or occur with certain movements, sitting, exercise, or intimacy. Pelvic floor dysfunction, muscle tension, nerve irritation, or previous injury can all contribute to ongoing symptoms.

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help address:

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Pain with sitting or prolonged positions

  • Tailbone (coccyx) pain

  • Pelvic muscle tension or guarding

  • Pain related to previous injury, childbirth, or surgery

Treatment may include gentle manual therapy, pelvic floor relaxation strategies, mobility work, and movement retraining to reduce tension and restore comfort.

physical therapy for Low Back & Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain

Low Back & Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain

The sacroiliac joints and lower back play a critical role in supporting the pelvis and transferring force through the body during movement. When these joints become irritated or unstable, pain may develop in the low back, hips, buttocks, or pelvis.

Our approach to low back and SI joint pain focuses on:

  • Identifying movement patterns that contribute to strain

  • Improving core and pelvic floor coordination

  • Restoring stabilitythrough targeted strengthening

  • Reducing muscular tension that affects pelvic alignment

By improving how the pelvis, spine, and core work together, therapy can help relieve pain and improve overall movement efficiency.

Hip & Pelvic Mobility

Restricted mobility in the hips or pelvis can place additional stress on surrounding muscles and joints, often contributing to both pelvic and low back discomfort.

Pelvic health physical therapy may include:

  • Hip mobility and joint movement exercises

  • Soft tissue work to reduce muscle tension

  • Postural and movement analysis

  • Strengthening for the hips, glutes, and deep core muscles

Improving mobility and strength in these areas helps support better pelvic stability and reduces strain during daily activities, exercise, and work.

Cupping therapy for lower back and tailbone pain in Avon, CT

Tailbone (Coccyx) Pain

Tailbone pain can develop after falls, prolonged sitting, childbirth, or repetitive strain. This condition can make sitting, standing transitions, and daily activities uncomfortable.

Treatment may focus on:

  • Reducing muscle tension around the pelvic floor and tailbone

  • Improving pelvic alignment and mobility

  • Teaching sitting strategies to reduce pressure on the coccyx

  • Strengthening surrounding muscles for improved support

With targeted care, many people experience meaningful relief and improved tolerance for sitting and movement.

Understanding Pelvic Pain & Related Musculoskeletal Conditions

Pelvic pain and orthopedic conditions affecting the hips, spine, and pelvis are often closely connected. The pelvic floor muscles work together with the core, hips, and lower back to support movement, stability, and daily function. When one part of this system becomes irritated, tense, or weak, it can contribute to persistent discomfort or pain.

At Lotus Pelvic Health, we take a whole-body approach to evaluating pelvic pain and related orthopedic conditions. Our care focuses on identifying the underlying cause of symptoms and developing a treatment plan that improves mobility, restores muscle balance, and reduces strain on sensitive tissues.
