Based on the gold-standard nondrug, nonsurgical Wise-Anderson Protocol for treating chronic pelvic pain, A Headache in the Pelvis is the definitive resource for anyone suffering from pelvic pain.

Pelvic pain afflicts millions of men and women and goes by many names, including pelvic floor dysfunction and prostatitis. David Wise, Ph.D., searched for relief for his pelvic pain for more than 20 years. After researching medical journals and performing outside-the-box self-experimentation, he found a way to resolve his symptoms. He then joined forces with Stanford urologist Dr. Rodney Anderson in the mid-1990s, and together they treated patients and did research on what is now called the Wise-Anderson Protocol.

Often incorrectly diagnosed, debilitating, and disruptive, pelvic pain is correlated with psychological distress. Using a holistic treatment integrating physical therapy and meditative relaxation, this book guides you through understanding your pain, why conventional treatments haven't worked, and describes the details of the physical and behavioral protocol that can help to heal the painful pelvic floor. At last, this life-changing protocol offers hope and help to lead a pain-free life.

Title: A must for understanding pelvic pain
Review: I am a physician who suffered from severe pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction triggered by a food borne infection and made worse by statin induced myopathy with significant vitamin d deficiency. I was a set up for this because of years of sitting on the job sometimes 10 -12 hours day or longer for 1 - 2 weeks continuously at a clip which results in chronic shortening of the pelvic muscles and anterior abdominal and thigh musculature.Like most patients, going to your local physicians can be a hit and miss ordeal as most physicians have no experience or knowledge of this condition particularly in men and we are not adequately treated. Fortunately, my urologists initially from the very beginning said my problem was muscular. Through my own research I then found this book which exactly mirrored my symptoms and gave me some hope and knowledge on what to do for treatment.While I agree that in some ways the book is a plug for their programs, it is also a good description of the problem and provides an adequate framework for treatment. I did not attend the program but followed the program in conjunction with physical therapists, both internal and external, and psycholoogists for relaxation therapy. I also now spend a good deal of my working day standing, at least 50% of the time, with the help of elevating desks.I have to stress, that I would classify my case as severe, and as severe as some of the descriptions that you have read here. I had severe pain, and significant disability in all three major pelvic floor functions. It worked for me. While I am not completely asymptomatic all the time, most of the time I am, and other times I am minimally symptomatic.For me, this book was a godsend, in teaching me about the pelvic floor and its disabilities and what the appropriate therapy is.You do not need to attend the course to follow the program but you really need the help of professionals in your area. If you are fortunate enough to live in a large metropolitan area, there are almost certainly pelvic floor therapists who are experienced with these issues. Many of these have only treated women, but if you look carefully enough, you will find someone with experience with men, or somebody willing to work with you. You may have to work around your physician and get the physical therapist to recommend a physician who is willing to go with the program.. If you are in a smaller or more rural area, the appropriately trained therapists may not be available. You may need to travel to the closest therapists or perhaps take the course.But this book if you are suffering from pelvic pain, inability to sit, severe constipation, urinary urgency and frequency, and/or ejaculatory pain ordysfunction or as in my case, all of these things.

Title: Who Knew?
Review: Imagine discovering that you have been storing tension, unconscious responses, and reactive responses to unexpected (and expected) aspects of life since early childhood? Through a series of steps emanating from ignorant parenting, cruel, stupid teachers, life-long coping habits and more, I never imagined this problem existed but it described my symptoms and more importantly, the causes fairly well. I never expected the physical therapy I received for this, but realized that I probably would not be able to make the two hour per day commitment to the prescribed cure. Still, I became aware of muscles I had no idea I could control I did not know how to breathe properly while evacuating. To find all this out at a late age is a bit frustrating, but better than not find out at all. I have suffered for years, blaming on hemorrhoids what was actually extremely sore spasmed internal muscles. I recommend this book highly. Even if you can't commit to the regimen, it gives you more knowledge and control over the situation. Some might find the PT and homework too creepy, but it really helps if you have the privacy to do it.

Title: Great starting point!
Review: I owe immense gratitude to Wise and Anderson for penning this one. As someone who had been suffering with pelvic symptoms for a good 8 months, only to be told by a urologist that I needed to take a 6-month course of Cipro for any chance of recovery, this book gave me hope. What I credit this book for was showing me how my stress and lifestyle had led me to inadvertently develop tension in my pelvic floor, as well as troublesome symptoms such as frequent urination, soreness post-orgasm, various aches and pains in my groin, and a plethora of other discomforts. Had I not found this book, I probably would have refilled that Cipro after the first month.I will say, for me personally, this was never a protocol I was going to learn on my own. For years I considered visiting their clinic, but the truth is for years I was unable to admit that I actually had this problem, as I feared that once I acknowledged it, the problem would get worse.I would highly recommend this book as a great starting point. With the help of this book, I was able to find out specifically what was going on and am working with a physical therapist trained in pelvic floor dysfunction to recover. I am seeing progress slowly, but very surely.Nick

Title: 100% cure male pain
Review: My son was in agony for 4 months. In and out of the ER for testicular pain. We have learned that it is not his testicles but his pelvic pain trigger points which were causing such discomfort. Doctors and hospitals only approach from a medical model and have no understanding of trigger points. Without this book, we were stuck without diagnosis, proper treatment, answers and fear this would go on forever. Trigger points can impact the anus, penis or testicles and cause absolute agony. You are not alone! You do not have to suffer! It is muscular, not inflammation, not infection, and not the pain location. But trust that this book is the only true understanding and solution. Most PT folks don’t offer comprehensive help and the agony is too great to “take it slow.” You really need this guide and the pelvic resources in SF. Get the book and check out the web site.

Review: Excellent resource for someone suffering from chronic pelvic pain syndrome with no hope of regaining my old healthy way. I'm working very hard, with its guidance to give myself a new outlook on life. No 'cure' yet but have already found some relief in my symptoms after about a month of following most of the protocol suggested.Thanks, Jim

Review: Brilliant book, totally aligns with my idea of PFD having a psychosomatic cause. Every page felt like I was receiving the best interpretations of the agony I've been in the last 3 months. I'm in the process of revolutionising my approach and am well aware that prioritising self-care and self-compassion is a must now and forever, especially in view of my professional role and duty of care to others.Thanks for the gift of this book and may it continue to be the book most read by all those on a real journey to understand what their pelvic floor is wishing to communicate.
