Pilonidal sinus, or sacroccocygeal fistula as it is also known, is due to ingrown hairs beomcing infected and can often necessitate surgery to drain the infected material.
The only thing physiotherapy can offer is advice and eduation on ergonomic sitting postures to avoid poor sitting posture (which may predisose people to increased pressure areas forming over the sacrococcygeal region)
Advice regarding cushions that maintain good airflow like this (http://www.amazon.com/ergoSEET-ES-1-Airflow-Seat-Cushion/dp/B0026P3CUC) can also be advised
