"The Pelvic Pain Solution" book review
I recently read "The Pelvic Pain Solution: A Whole New Approach to Beating Pelvic Pain" by Dayne Herren. I was happy to see a book written by a male who has experienced pelvic pain. I also like that the author was upfront that suffers can take control of their pain, although the road may be tough. The author gave wonderful advice in regards to relaxation techniques and changing one's mindset about their pain and healing process.
There are some points of the book that I would be careful about giving out as a "blanket" recommendation. For instance, although certain supplements can be very affective for healing, I always preface any nutritional advice with, "this is what worked for me" and "this may be helpful". The author was smart about advising people check with their doctor first. The other "blanket" recommendation given by this book was in the "stretching" section. I do not give piriformis stretches out to all of my patients because many women actually have overstretched hip rotators which can cause the sacro-iliac joint to become unstable. For these women I advocate a pilates or core-based exercise program and warn them against over- stretching.
Overall, I do believe that this book has a wonderful, well-rounded approach to healing.

Where do I get the book by Dayne Herren. It seems to have be discontinued.
I am having trouble finding this book also. Would reading it be beneficial to someone with Levator Syndrome pain (me)?
I absolutely loved this blog post as it describes my life's ups and downs like a roller coaster ride over the last few years. Now, I'm seeing a glimpse of that elusive light at the end of my tunnel. God knows I'm waiting for this all my life.
