Message from Maeve Whelan

[Violet M]

This is an e-mail we received from Maeve in October of 2011. I'm just moving it from the announcement section of the website to the UK/Ireland section of the forum so that we have a record of it. If anyone has seen any of the PT's listed on her website please comment for the benefit of other patients. Thanks.

"I have had many patients contact me and I am then in a position to refer them to a list that I have on my website of UK and Irish physiotherapists:

http://www.pelvicphysiotherapy.com/Manu ... pists.html

so the work that you do on your website goes further than you think. I have on my website also a link to a DVD that you may find of interest - there are a few "snippits" so that you can see the general idea of what I am at. The vast majority of people can't travel and in Ireland they have no money at the moment!! The patients in general have found it helpful

I have done Liz and Stephanie's courses as well as Rhonda's and another with Beth Shelley and another with Ramona Horton from Herman and Wallace. The therapists on the site have all done a course with Liz and Stephanie or Rhonda or myself. My courses involve internal manual therapy with "direction specific breathing" and emphasis on pelvic floor release with some connective tissue manipulation also. Participants are educated in treating pudendal neuralgia/neuropathy. I have met all of the people on the site at courses."

WoW!! Violet there is a new name on the list who is VERY NEAR ME I am pretty sure I am beyond physio (tried so many) but it would be good to see what she had to say as no one else in this area has any idea about PN or pelvic entrapments.
Progress, maybe the world is waking up to our plight or at least my small corner of it.
Thanks
