I've started using the treadmill for 25 mins every morning since a week. I set the speed to 4 miles an hour. I also stretch before and after the walk. its too soon to come to a conclusion but I am seeing some improvement for sure.
About 4 months back, I tried running and it got me some really horrible flare-ups. So I am now really afraid to run and I guess I won't run in near future.

I hiked all over the UK and felt much better for it. That was a slow 3 mi/hour pace for 8 to 10 hours a day. I had no symptoms at all for over a month after I got back.
I walk 40 minutes in the evnings.
I don't run as my muscles in the pelvis don't like that much.

* Age:33 Onset: February 2004.
* 99.9% IMPROVEMENT in 2.5 Years with the first year being the really hard part
* Current Symptoms: Mild irritation of perineal muscles on occasion. Relieved for days at a time by a specific stretch (see below).
* Initial Symptoms: Terrible penile, urethral, rectal, and perineal burning/aching with addition afferent sensations.
* Current Treatments: Deep stretching of the legs and pelvis. Most effective: Deep psoas and levitar ani stretch using the first phase of the "pigeon pose" from Yoga. When a deep pulling is felt in the middle of the pelvis next to the upper rectum, symptoms are completely alleviated for several days.
* Past Treatments Hyperprotection of the perineum for 1.7 years, Walking, Rectal biofeedback, Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, Conditioned deep relaxation practice, Men's Multi-Vitamin and an Extra B-complex pill, all seemed to help.

Sorry DavidB,
I was on vacation in Britain. I live in the United States.
I've heard that there is someone in Edinburgh as well as someone in London. Not sure where else one can find the right physical therapy.
Do a search function on these boards.
You can also try sending a message to Londoner and Scottsman. Both of them have their respective countries accounted for :)
