Re: Canadian Physiotherapy Association press release
Interesting article. It's good to see the topic being discussed in groups such as these, as that's how knowledge really spreads. However, I do take issue with a couple of things written.
1) The prostate emphasis. Article seems to imply the prostate to be the primary source of problems, when we know this to not be true (unless you have acute bacterial, which is a totally different beast).
2) The claim that physiotherapy doesn't aggravate symptoms. Anyone who has had pelvic floor PT knows that it causes flares, albeit for a good cause. I think stating otherwise is a bit misleading.
Otherwise, good article with informative content. I hope it leads some readers to proper care.

Yes, lots of errors and problems there, including no mention of trigger points. That's why I posted it here and not in the science forum.
