So you've got pelvic pain... here's how to manage it.

Pelvic pain is one of the most widespread yet least known and understood afflictions facing people today. This book looks at its causes and suggests practical, evidence-based pain management strategies.

Over the last fifteen years, and after treating nearly 8,000 patients, physiotherapist Peter Dornan has found that many conditions that may have resisted traditional medical intervention such as:

• pain in the scrotum, labia, perineum or anorectal region, penis;

• dysuria (painful urination), voiding problems;

• urinary and faecal urge incontinence;

• pain during or after ejaculation; 

• sexual and erectile dysfunction;

are often associated with pelvic girdle dysfunction involving the sacroiliac joint.

In this book, he outlines methods and evidence-based treatment for the dysfunction and management of symptoms, using helpful illustrations and photos to highlight the concepts and techniques that are covered.

So You've got Pelvic Pain... will prove useful to patients as well as health professionals who have an interest in pelvic pain, particularly musculoskeletal therapists..
