I wanted to post a separate thread regarding ISA HERRERRA's new book - ENDING MALE PELVIC PAIN: A MAN'S MANUAL.
She has previously written a book for women that has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews. Since there are fewer resources for men I thought this was worth posting separately (WEB - please feel free to combine in your other post when you see fit).
She is also the owner of RENEW PT in NYC which has many positive reviews. They also have a bootcamp for out of town patients.
Here is the link to the book.

Re: New Book released to help MEN WITH PELVIC PAIN
Did you read the book? I'm looking at either this or Heal Pelvic Pain after I finish A HEADACHE IN THE PELVIS.

Re: New Book released to help MEN WITH PELVIC PAIN
I skimmed through a copy of this book at my back PT session this morning. My pelvic floor therapist let me look at a copy, but I couldn't take it with me because it belonged to someone else.
From what I saw, it looks to be a REALLY good book. There are some awesome diagrams that explain functions, muscles, nerves, and kinesiology throughout the book - better than anything else I've seen before. Lots of good information, stretches and exercises. I'm going to order a copy today.

Re: New Book released to help MEN WITH PELVIC PAIN
I bought this book and I'm almost finished it. There are lots of exercises in the book, and it guides you through the program that the author has set up specifically for men with pelvic pain. I haven't tried the program yet but a lot of the stretches are common ones we will all do.
This is based on the author's own program so might not be for everyone, but the chapters are broken down into sections of the program, so it's quite easy to read and follow. Some of the internal work and diagrams are difficult to follow, but I think that's the same for all material I've seen.
One of the better books out there and I think I'll give this a go once I finish reading it.

Age: 43 | Onset Age: 33 | Symptoms: Burning in urethra and tip of penis at meatus. Lower back pain and occasional dull ache in groin & testicles. Pain in coccyx and left side buttock when sitting | Medication: Quercetin 1000mg, Omega 3, Turmeric 1500mg, Shilajit Extract 400mg, Ashwagandha 920mg, Glucosamine/Condroitin | Helped By: stretching, rest, light exercise, sitz baths | Worsened By: sitting for long periods of time, driving, stressful situations | Comments: I'm 90% better and don't experience much burning anymore, but get the occasional flare. My main problem now is the sitting pain, which can be quite debilitating at times. I'm sure it's something to do with the exercises & stretching I've been doing as I didn't have this problem a year ago!
