Does anyone else get occasional bouts of back pain? I know back muscles are interlinked with pelvic muscles so that may be the reason for it. Stress doesn't help.
Secondly, has anyone found that treating chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome with PT / stretching has helped their IBS symptoms? It seems that for many men IBS has gotten worse after CPPS got better. Isn't IBS also to do with the state of the pelvic / abdominal muscles so if the muscles are loosened / worked on shouldn't it naturally follow that IBS symptoms are lessened?
Thanks
