A Headache in the Pelvis is one of the best patient guides for understanding and treating pelvic pain. I strongly recommend this book. It demystifies pelvic pain, one of the most common and frustrating medical issues that patients experience, and offers practical at-home exercises that allow patients to become active participants in their own healing, giving them skills to reduce symptoms that they can practice on their own. The authors’ thorough, comprehensive explanations of how pelvic pain can develop and persist provide both patients and health practitioners with insights and solutions on how to break the vicious cycle of chronic pelvic pain.

In my years of medical practice, I have had occasion to refer patients who suffered from pelvic pain. Many of these patients were either abandoned or given ineffective treatments. A Headache in the Pelvis provides unique insights into the condition and the Wise-Anderson treatment protocol to manage this difficult condition.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in medicine. It is unfortunately not on the radar of most physicians. Patients are left to suffer and usually get mislabeled with some other diagnosis. The Wise-Anderson Protocol is transformational. I recommend this book to all my patients who suffer from pelvic pain.
