How can I manage tailbone pain postpartum?

Postpartum tailbone pain is a common experience, often resulting from the physiological changes during birth and exacerbated by poor posture during frequent night wakings or contact naps. For relief, many parents find success using a neck pillow or a soft cushion while sitting, icing the area, and sleeping on their side. Strengthening your pelvic floor, glutes, and core muscles through gentle postnatal exercises or guided physiotherapy is highly recommended for long-term recovery. If the pain persists, consult a physiotherapist who can provide specific adjustments and exercises to help realign your posture.
