How well does this work for butt and groin pain originating from the tailbone/groin area?

I have tried this thing in the car and in a regular chair and I cannot feel where it does anything at all. I have "tailbone pain disorder"..... It just hurts and there is not much in the way of relief so far. Chiropractic and massage seem to be the best thing and just standing up......good luck it might be just the thing you need

I have used this for over a year now. At first it was hard to adjust to and it would make my legs fall asleep. Now it is the most comfortable thing I sit on and my tailbone pain is a thing of the past. I highly recommend buying it, but giving it sometime to break in. I am a secretary and I sit on it 40 hours a week. It works really well.

I have arthritis in my back. Before I got this I could not easily just plop down on a chair, I had severe tailbone pain that would litterely make me jump out of the seat. It was well above a 10 on the pain scale. After a week I noticed a difference of great improvement. After a month my tailbone pain was nearly gone when sitting. I can now sit with no issues even without my cushion. I use it daily at work still and I love it. I still have my normal spinal pain from my arthritis but this has too improved that for me. Please not that my first few days of adjusting to this it kind of hurt more. My doctor told me it's cause my spine is allowed to take more natural position and it is not used to doing this after years of being in a regular chair. The handle is great for carrying it, it is light weight and wide for easy sitting.

sorry it did not help at all. The cutout is too big and the pad itself too hard. I felt like I was slipping off it all the time

tailbone and pelvic region, yes. the junk, it mostly does, it depends upon how you have adjusted and sit on it

I'm not sure. I used it for inflammation like back and shoulder pain and it did a good job.

I know of a myriad of uses for it, my mother had tendinitis, I've got my own joint problems, and this works for it all. it relieves pain in much the way something like "Icy--Hot" or "Ben-gay" would work. this product is more effective than those major brand name products because apart from the menthol, which the big brands all have, it has camphor,cajuput, cassia and clove oils, which are ingredients used for hundreds of years for the same. my grandfather uses camphor oil for his pain. this has t be by far, the best pain relieving ointment I've ever tried, and the only one to provide relief for my chronic knee condition.

I would not say this targets the spine. One of the Trigger Point Therapy balls that are smaller would probably do a better job, but I do use this on my spine. It's just not as effective as with the IT band, lats, quads, calves, and glutes.

This is not the cushion for you. This cushion is designed to take the pressure from the tailbone, and it works very well.

The Omron electric stimulation device is very effective for just about any muscle-related pain. However, the relief is only temporary. Despite that, my husband and I are very happy with it. I fractured my back in 5 places and I am constantly suffering from muscle spasms. My pharmacist told me it's the best brand for this type of product. I also strongly recommend getting an inversion table. It doesn't have to be the expensive "Teeter" brand. We purchased one for about $115. Start off with 5 minutes at a time and slowly work up to maximum 15 minutes per session. We use it twice a day. And, finally, we also use HomeMedics vibrating massagers. They come in single and double heads. We got both from Amazon. Your back will thank you!

As a female user, I've experienced sore joints in the femur to pelvis area. A man might have testicular discomfort. Your mileage may vary.

I had very painful buttitis. I could barely go from a sitting to standing position due to the pain in my lower butt and top of legs. Goggled the problem. Advice was a buckwheat pillow. I sat on the pillow at my computer station. Had relief from the pain in a few hours. I also got the Japanese one for sleep. I put the pillow on my back as I am a side sleeper. I swear sleep has been so much more restful. It works.

I havent gone whole hog with this thing, but have done around the "edges". It's not as painful as the back of the knees, knees, and back of the calves. For me those are the worst spots.

It works very well on my knees. The heat and if you use the flat metal piece shown on the photo relieves pain. I hope this helps

It works awesome for mid and lower back pain. I use it every day when i wake up and it truly helps relieve the tension

I use it to stretch my groin too (besides thd hammy) .. so it may. My straddle got closer to the ground but my intention was not to be able to do a split

My grandma uses it. She doesn't feel as much pain when she uses it, it's worth a try!

I've had Tendlite for about 3 weeks so I'm no expert. From my experience so far, I can say, don't expect this to be a quick fix. I get quicker pain relief using a TENS unit, even Bengay is faster. I think the infrared/tendlite treatment is more of a long term process.

for chronic intense pain i used it daily averaging an hour or more daily, you have to use at least eight minutes them move it, a few cm and repeat to cover the area. it has a self charger so it's cordless. It reduces inflammation quickly but took weeks to to relieve and heal the discs. The pain has not returned. i use it occasionally to ensure further damage and on wounds and broken bones. It is not painful to use just time consuming. The docs could only give me heavy pain killers, physical therapy made it worse. I paid more for mine but well worth the price

I have used it on my upper back and it has helped with back pain from time to time. Sometimes I get a pinched nerve right below my shoulder blades and rolling this up and down the length of my spine seems to help it. The nubs hurt while doing it, but the next day it feels a lot better.
