A life-changing discovery,

This review is from: Headache in the Pelvis 5th Edition (Paperback)
If you have been diagnosed with non-specific prostititis or frequent urination that does not respond to medication, YOU MUST get and read this book. This authoritative volume written by a PHD and MD urologist describes the ground-breaking Stanford Medical Center protocol that has successfully treated many men and women who suffer from pelvic pain syndrome that is often misdiagnosed as a disease or dysfunction of the protstate, bladder, or kidneys.
After years of suffering, I am finally receiving treatment that I am confident will deal with the underlying issues that created the symptoms that 3 urologists, hundreds of pills, and countless tests did not properly address.

Pelvic Headache,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Headache in the Pelvis 5th Edition (Paperback)
I recommend this textbook to any PT who wants to treat male patients with chronic tension myalgia of the pelvis. With the additional inclusion of a chapter on pelvic pain in women and specific descriptions of external and internal soft tissue release techniques, this text is a must-have for PT's new to this form of treatment on this population of patients. Easy enough reading for all healthcare providers and probably most educated non-clinicians.

Practical, Helpful & Easy to Read,
By
This review is from: Headache in the Pelvis 5th Edition (Paperback)
I read this book and found the information in it very practical and helpful. The techniques for relaxation and reducing stress can help not only for pelvic pain but for all physical pain. I initially read it for a good friend of mine who was experiencing pretty severe pelvic pain but actually found it very helpful for my own situation which is 4th stage metastatic breast cancer to the bones. The techniques discussed in this book especially in the section on "Paradoxical Relaxation" allowed me to learn to relax rather than resist the pain and therefore the pain diminished quite rapidly. What a surprise! I am very grateful to the authors for empowering myself and others. By being given some very simple tools we can have control over our lives again from the debilitating effects of chronic pain.
The friend that I initially read the book for went on to take David Wise's clinic and while not completely gone, his pain is greatly reduced and he continues to use the techniques he learned at the clinic to manage his pain. He too is very grateful. I highly recommend this book.
