Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol pelvic muscle relaxation question

[Uglook]

Hi,
I'm suffering from pelvic pain (or is it prostatitis?) since several years non stop.
I'm able to consciously relax my pelvic muscle, this is relax the muscle that I relax when I urinate.
I read from the book that these are the pelvic muscle.

Does it mean, when I do so, that all my pelvic muscles are relaxed ? Or are there other muscle that I don't "feel" that may be still contracted but which can be relaxed only through internal trigger points ?

Just relaxing the pelvis is often not enough. Internal and external massage is usually also necessary.

Ok, and as part of the treatment, I should try to have my pelvic muscle relaxed the most possible ?
Are "normal" people always relaxed ? Can't remember how I was before the pain years ago.

Are you sure it's normal to have it relaxed, I really feel my body wants to contract to "hold" the organs?

[webslave]

It's our habit to hold or contract our pelvises more than "normal" people, often because we are more anxious generally than normal people.

Yes, relaxing the pelvis is vital. If you have a tense sitting job, you may find that stopping the pattern is difficult.

and when you walk, in your everyday life, do you try to relax your pelvis as well ?

[webslave]

While walking, the pelvis is naturally relaxed usually, but yes, one should always be aware, at some level, of the state of the pelvic muscles.

Is it recommended to relax the pubococcygeus as if we were attempting to urinate?
I understand that 'pushing' this muscle isn't good. I have heard plenty that we have to relax our pelvic muscles but I wasn't too sure whether this might be beneficial.
