Hi all
I'm finishing my undergraduate BS in biology this year and I am still not sure what profession I want to go into. At this point in my life I am really interested in helping other men with this condition. Even though I have not done the A HEADACHE IN THE PELVIS protocol per se, I know from doing some internal work and meditation on my own that this is an approach that can benefit many with this condition tremendously. Recently I have been thinking about going into physical therapy, and learning how to incorporate A HEADACHE IN THE PELVIS principals into my practice. I was just wondering if you guys know of any other professions (besides urology, I have no desire to go to med school) that would give me a chance to work with CPPS/prostatitis.
thanks

Re: Considering going into physical therapy
I would think on the practitioner side, you have doctors, PA's, Nurse Practitioner, Physical Therapists, and Physical Therapy Assistants. Related is acupuncturists, herbalists, and psychologists/counsellors.
There is also the research side too for medications, genetic markers, cellular, etc.
Good luck!

I think I found a trigger point???
Ok so I've never been to a PT yet, and I've never looked for trigger points. However I was just massaging my lower abdomen and hit a small spot that feels painful and tense. I can only feel it if I apply enough pressure and in a specific way. If I stimulate it in different ways I feel different kinds of pain, also there are some slightly good feelings too sometimes. I can not feel any bump or anything there
