Overview

This research is to determine the effectiveness of stretching versus soft tissue mobilization in coccydynia patients.The main purpose of the study is the the development of evidence based therapeutic protocols for postpartum coccydynia patients to improve functional impairment, range of motion, and reduction of pain.

The study design is randomized controlled trial.The interventions were carried out twice a week for three weeks with each session lasting approximately 20 min.Group A contains 34 patients and received STM focusing on mobilizing soft tissue to enhance circulation reduce scar tissue and improve functional flexibility.Group B received both STM and stretching twice a week for three weeks with each session lasting approximately 20 min.During entire treatment the therapist kept close eye on patient discomfort.The significance of the study lies in it's potential to enhance more effective non invasive treatment to alleviate symptoms
