. I can tell you that there is both empirical data and patient data to support physical therapy. Sorry but you simply cannot make that claim. Physical therapy is an unproven treatment for pelvic pain. There has only ever been one randomized study for physical therapy for pelvic pain which was prese...

Another review of trigger points this time explaining how there is no reliable list of diagnostic criteria for a trigger point. Trigger point identification is subjective. Patients just have to trust their therapists judgement. http://www.lukerickardsosteopath.net/diagnosing-myofascial-trigger-point...

Great post

I must've gotten the same negative information. I read the same general statement in numerous threads from pudendal.info. I could be wrong, but I thought it came from Hibners patients. :?: Yeah me too, but there's nothing in the literature to say that 1/3 get worse. I also have heard it but where h...

You make some valid criticisms Hermajesty but I disagree with your last point. I take your point about success rates. I agree t...

Can anyone please provide me with the guys information that is holding all of the prior website info (http://www.pudendal.info). I have to see all of the surgical data on the website because I am a 25 yr old male and need to examine all of the data before considering surgery. An email, phone number...

I agree with quite a bit in the article Charlie; definitely I agree that myofascial trigger points have a persistent underlying cause and are rarely if ever a primary disorder. I agree less with the title of your post as I do not think this article debunks the validity of TrP TREATMENT - as long as...
