COMPLICATIONS
Colonoscopy is a common procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditionsPatients report “tailbone discomfort” that gets worse with extended sitting, leaning back while seated, prolonged standing, and rising from a seated position, as well as tenderness over the coccyxPelvic floor exercises (PFE) were proposed as an effective modality. PFE involves training the muscles of the pelvic floor to contract and, much more importantly, to relax fully. The proposed mechanism is that the contraction-relaxation exercises minimize the muscle's resting tone and interrupt the spasm and pain cycle Surgical intervention via coccygectomy has been reported to relieve approximately 50% to 90% of symptoms. However, due to the unpredictable long-term effects and the risk of major complications, surgery is rarely performed, and non-surgical strategies remain the major treatment for coccydynia KT is a therapeutic approach that has emerged recently as a viable alternative for treating different musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disabilities Although clinical guidelines recommend the conservative management of coccydynia, most randomized trials from which these guidelines are derived have shown that, when used in isolation, these therapies provide only mild to moderate clinical advances. In addition, there is no distinction between the various exercise-based therapy approaches and the various manual therapy techniques
