So you've got pelvic pain ... here's how to manage it.
Peter Dornan, AM
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.
Written as an update to his earlier book, Pelvic Pain: A Musculoskeletal Approach to Treatment, this new text presents a wider perspective as it closely examines how the origins of many examples of persistent pelvic pain may stem from pelvic dysfunction involving the sacroiliac joint. This book outlines an anatomical explanation of the problem, how to conduct a musculoskeletal assessment, as well as methods and evidence-based treatment techniques for the dysfunction and management of symptoms. It includes 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.
