Brief Summary

Forty-two patients, with coccydynia following colonoscopy were selected from Kasr El-Aini teaching Hospital, with age ranged from 25-45 years. Patients were randomly assigned to the control or experimental groups. The patients in the three groups completed 3-weeks 3 sessions per week for traditional physical therapy treatment consisting of stretching exercise for the piriformis and iliopsoas muscles, clamshell exercise, seat cushioning and seat kitz. Experimental group I received kinsiotaping techniques in addition to the traditional physical therapy. While experimental group II received pelvic floor exercise in the form of reverse kegel exercise or pelvic pulges, in addition to conventional therapies. pain intensity were evaluated by numerical rating scale as a primary out come measure, and Oswestry disability index was used as a secondary out come measure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pain intensity measured by numerical rating scale.	after 3 weeks of intervention.	a one-dimensional measure of pain intensity in adults, including those with chronic pain. Numerical pain rating scale consists an 11-point numeric scale with 0 representing "no pain" and 10 representing extreme pain (Worst possible pain)
