Pelvic Pain: A Musculoskeletal Approach for Treatment Peter Dornan

Publisher Marketing: Pelvic pain is one of the most widespread yet least known and understood afflictions facing people today. Over the last ten years, and after treating nearly 6,000 patients, physiotherapist Peter Dornan has found that many conditions that may have resisted traditional medical intervention such as: pain in the scrotum, labia, perineum or anorectal region, penis; dysuria (painful urination); urinary and faecal urge incontinence; pain during or after ejaculation; sexual and erectile dysfunction; are often associated with pelvic girdle dysfunction involving the sacroiliac joint. In this book he outlines methods and evidence-based treatment for the dysfunction and management of symptoms, using helpful illustrations and photos to highlight the concepts and techniques that are covered. Pelvic Pain: a Musculoskeletal Approach for Treatment will prove useful to patients as well as health professionals who have an interest in pelvic pain, particularly musculoskeletal therapists."
