Question
Hello,

I noticed a second bump about 1/4-1/2" below my tail bone. It goes down through (for lack of a better term) into my butt crack. It seems a little sore.

I don't know if I am supposed to have a bump here or not, it almost feels hard like a bone - but it's hard to tell.

Do you have any ideas? Do we have a second bone there that feels like a bump?

Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing back.

Answer
There is no second bone -- but there is a muscle, the "levator ani" (look it up).

There's a maneuver I teach to get control of the muscles at the floor of the pelvis, called "Cadenced Breathing."  It's a more sophisticated version of Kegel exercises and it's in the program, "Getting Ready for Sex."  see somatics.com/page7.htm.
