Saccral

  • I am eternally grateful that my physio (Julia from Miramar Physiotherapy) has done the miraculous feat of getting my saccral (tailbone) to finally sit in place.  When I was around 11 years old I had a really bad accident; I was on rollar blades spnning around when a girl falling down reached out to grab me and I fell down too right on my saccral.  For over a month it was blue/purple, swelled, and incredibly painful.  Against my mum's constant advice, I chose not to get it seen to by a professional.  For years I dealt with the lingering pain and the humiliation that it protruded out of my back; I always figured I'd have to wait till I was resurrected for it to be fixed.  Well, in fixing my shin splints, the exercises I was doing for my gluts brought the pain back on my saccral, the physio was wise enough to see the problem.  My muscles had seized around it holding it in this awkward position, so all my exercises and with some manipulation on her part - I finally have a flat back like everyone else.  It's truly a miracle and something I'm so grateful for!!!
