help
Maybe I posted on wrong board. I need name of a physios on the Gold Coast who was treating people with PNE??????? Also mens doctor. I am not sure if this the correct forum for men. is there another one for men?????
Re: help
Get in touch with Peter Dornan in Brisbane who is a physio for PN issues. I believe he has trained a physio on the GC, but not sure who. His receptionist should tell you. I'm on the G. Coast but drive up to Peter Dornan every 3 weeks. Can't help you with a local mens doctor, seem to be plenty of urologists.
Good luck
Good luck

Re: help
GC man are you improving with Peter Dornan's treatment and exercises. I believe he is very good with men who have SIJD issues.
2004 PNE following vag. hysterectomy and A & P repair. 2007 TIR surgery France. severe entrapment at Alcocks canal & SS ligaments . Have my life back. 90% cured.No longer have medical appts.or physio.Some pain remains but is tolerable. 2012 Flew from Australia to the UK without pain flare. Very manageable. Almost back to normal. Now hold support group meetings at KEMH Subiaco Perth WA. Every 2nd Sat. of the month. Still pace my activities. PN doesn't dominate any more.

Hello Catherine
I have been slowly improving with Peter Dornan's physo but its been about 18 months to get where I am. Bad days are fewer and with less pain. There are now some days when I have virtually no symptoms especially weekends for some reason. The physio says its because my physical activities are different on weekends compared with the working week. Basically Peter Dornans theory is that an SIJ that has become immobile can tension the PN so he works to loosen the SIJ. This can be physically done fairly quickly but the PN has become hypersensitive and retraining it takes a long time
