A Headache in the Pelvis:,
By Vincent K. (Dewey, Az) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Headache in the Pelvis: A New Understanding and Treatment for Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
The book is written to help you understand why the pain in your pelvis can be such a pain. The only thing that I found rather disappointing was that they waited to till 3/4 of the way thru the book before they let you know that you should really come to their clinic for a week to help solve your problem. Although it really implies that this is a self help book it is a advertisement for their clinic in addition. A book called the Pelvic Pain Solution by Dayne Herren gives you the same information but is a simplified form. He also has a relaxation disk which I use 2 times a day to wind down and relax. This is a key solution to both this book and his.

This review is from: A Headache in the Pelvis: A New Understanding and Treatment for Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This book is possibly as good as the glowing reviews say it is for the lucky few, but for most of us it's not very useful. The authors spend most of the book describing what goes on in their clinic, while making it very clear that you can't treat yourself, and that there are almost no others who know how to do their program. Although most of it, outside of the internal massage, sounds like standard relaxation therapy, they assure us that it can't be learned on your own (... wonder how they learned it? ). Anyway, even if they do have a good CPPS cure, few of us can benefit, and buying this book isn't likely to help.

Review by a Physical Therapist,
This review is from: A Headache in the Pelvis: A New Understanding and Treatment for Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndromes, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This is a critical book for any man or woman who has pelvic pain. As a Physical Therapist who treats patients with the kinds of conditions described in the book, I suggest that patients seeing me for pelvic pain read this book. It is the first popular book to give the big picture of what most idiopathic pelvic pain is, how mind and body are involved in it and explains simply what has to be done to help resolve it. It is an empowering book. I think that the Stanford Protocol described in A Headache in the Pelvis is clearly the most effective treatment that exists for the kind of pelvic pain described in the book.
