PT role and paradoxical relaxation by Dr Wise
Re: PT role and paradoxical relaxation by Dr Wise
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Wise is quite the salesman. notice how fast he jumped on this bandwagon. New males no longer treated by gynecologist. Hmmm he thinks, I see an opportunity here.. I will stick with what the youtube sites do exposing him for what he is. (a headache in the pelvis patients experience) is one such video. Personally I get a headache just sayin his name...Wouldn't spend a time for his wares let alone 4 or 5 thousand.

Bye the way his success rates are no better than placeboes. One of the references from other Drs he quotes is a md that treats stuttering..I just had a 65 year old neurologist that has never seen anyone with our condition. PN PNE. He made an appointment with a urologist that sent me 4 pages of the great Wise Anderson protocol. I cancelled the appointment. ...Robert

OMG, he's still at it! Charging $800 for the rectal wand is opportunistic and and unethical. A similar device, the "crystal" wand, is available on Amazon for $38.50. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Wand-Ther ... B00DN6PIE6. I found it very useful in massaging the trigger points in my pelvic floor muscles. My pelvic PT showed me how to use it. I used it daily.
Athlete until pain started in 2001. Diagnosed with PN in Nov. 2010. Probable cause: 3 difficult labors, 5 pelvic surgeries for endometriosis, and undiagnosed hip injuries. 60% better after 3 rounds of shockwave therapy in Cornwall, Ontario (Dec - Feb/12). 99% better after bilateral hip scopes for FAI and labral tears (April and July/12). Pelvic pain life coach Lorraine Faendrich helped me overcome the mind/body connection to chronic pain: http://www.radiantlifedesign.com

Re: PT role and paradoxical relaxation by Dr Wise
I believe Dr Wise does not really want to sell wands without the accompanying training, for liability reasons. People could do themselves a terrible damage if untrained in its use and the legal consequences could be ruinous for Dr Wise.
I always suggest people use a Theracane for intrarectal massage. I have several posters who have been very successful with it.
