Q&A: Odd question, but…sometimes when I roll back (like doing Pilates), my butt/tailbone hurts?

Question by MsPeanutBrittle: Odd question, but…sometimes when I roll back (like doing Pilates), my butt/tailbone hurts?
Not if I sit in a chair or anything, just if I sit back on it too far or roll back, like “rolling like a ball” when you do Pilates. Not sure if it’s TMI…but if I feel up by the tailbone/top of my butt, where the, erm, cheeks kinds of meet, you know, there’s like…a lump? Or a large piece of skin that goes across or something? It’s more left-oriented. Thing is, I don’t remember when this started…I never really rolled back or anything (no real reason to) when I was little, or never really paid attention, so this has really been going on maybe 3-5 years, that I remember? I just thought it normal at the time, I guess. It’s not like a sharp pain, just a kind of achy one, and like I said, only happens when I roll back (I do use a mat when I exercise, but same result). Maybe it’s from falling years ago, and I don’t really remember it? I was in beginners ice skating around then, so even if I did fall, it wouldn’t be that hard. It wouldn’t make sense for it to have happened afterwards, because it started back then. I’m so confused…

Best answer:

Answer by Douglas B
Here is for you back and tailbone. I don’t know if you really need the back, but you do need the tailbone. You can do it in several places on the tailbone going all the way to the end of the tailbone and getting results there. Here is the methods:
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
For lower back, on the buttocks:
Put both hands behind your back and place them on the muscles alongside your spine and press on them and hold. Now relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. When the release starts to happen, slowly lower yourself forward as far as you can go. Then release the pressure but hold your body there for one minute longer.

There must be some behaviors in the Singapore Pilates studio which turn you off. Let us take a look at these behaviors and if you are guilty of committing some of them, stop doing them moving on.

First, as a Pilates class client, you are here to learn and have fun. Hence, do not be too conservative and serious during your Singapore Pilates classes. You have to be mentally flexible so as to absorb fully and maximize your learning. Open up and accept the Pilates Instructor’s teaching approach or humor during the Pilates class.  This is the way to an interesting and fulfilling Pilates lesson!

Secondly, it is important to be considerate. You should observe social etiquette such as turning off your cell phone or switching it to silent mode and maintaining low noise levels during your Singapore Pilates class. It can be distracting to others when one takes a call during the Pilates class. Other than cell phone, loud chit chats and laughter are rather disturbing and even irritating. It is a definitely not recommended to chat during your Singapore Pilates class. Tone down and remember that others are still having their Pilates class. Lastly, do not be late for your Pilates class. Interrupting a Singapore Pilates class halfway makes it hard for Pilates class instructor to keep up the momentum for the Pilates class and affects other Pilates clients.

Thirdly, when you are attending Singapore Pilates group class, keep in mind that it is not a Pilates private lesson. Do try not to hog the Pilates class instructor to yourself and treat her like your Pilates private instructor. No one should be deprived of the Pilates class instructor’s attention because you are hogging her by yourself. Do be considerate and only consult the Pilates class instructor when you really have a problem. If you feel that you have difficulties catching up, it is worthwhile to spend money on one or two private Pilates class to understand the techniques and clarify any doubts.

Next, avoid wearing loose, baggy clothes to your Singapore Pilates class as your Singapore Pilates class instructor will need to be able to see your body posture such as the alignment of your bones and how your muscles are engaging during each Pilates exercise. Also loose clothes tend to ride up belly or legs while performing certain Pilates exercises. Comfortable, fitting and yet stretchable clothes are recommended for your Singapore Pilates classes. Fancy footwear is also not necessary as Pilates exercises are done barefoot or with anti-slip socks. You will also want to avoid accessories such as long necklaces, belts and even jewellery. It could be rather tricky if they got caught up in the equipment or props during your Singapore Pilates class. It is also advisable to tie your hair back if it is long.

We understand that everyone wants to smell good and perfume does get handy. However, you have to keep in mind that others may be allergic to perfumes. In addition, the smell may be distracting during a workout. Therefore it is not advisable to wear perfume to your Singapore Pilates classes.

Lastly, please avoid gossips and unnecessary comments during your Singapore Pilates class. It is distracting and inappropriate when you share your views about your Singapore Pilates instructor or other clients during your Pilates class. Be it complimentary or not, it is interrupts the Pilates class and waste everyone’s time. Each lesson is planned in such a way that all Pilates excercises can be completed within specific timeframe, interrupting the class may lead to you doing less Pilates exercises or affecting the next Singapore Pilates class as your Pilates class is delayed. Keep discussion and comments after your Singapore Pilates class!

It is common for people to complain about others. However, one may neglect the fact that she may also have some habits which turn others off. Please do take note of above behaviors and try to avoid them. In doing so, everyone benefit and can enjoy their Singapore Pilates classes.
