The Protocol was developed in Stanford university By Rodney Anderson (urologist) and David Wise (urologist / phycologist) . Dr Wise had the chronic Pelvic pain for decades so he tried to make a program in order to cure it.

​

As far as i understand it , CPPS is a neuromuscular problem, in which people tighten ther pelvis and areas around it involuntarily and without even realizing it. These people do it due to high stress high anxiety status. So , at least in my case and in the cases described by Wise Anderson protocol, the problem is psychological. I didnt even know that i was creating tension in my pelvic muscles until much later in my effort to find something to make me better.

​

They use various ways of relaxing the muscles around the pevlis :

They use a breathing technique, a kind of meditation named paradoxical relaxation (i believe a CD with paradoxical relaxation guide is inclluded in the book).

​

Trigger point release . Again described in detail in the book pressure point specific areas.

​

Internal Trigger Point Wand that allows the patient to safely and effectively loosen the pelvis

​

They published a book that describes in detail the symptoms and the techniques to overcome this problem.

wow! i can't believe this book exists. i just read the first 100 pages. this is exactly what i was looking for. thank you!!!!

i mentioned before that i started meditation through zen, but that is not quite true. what happened was that i suffered from pelvic pain and after narrowly missing the scalpel (for something i didn't need) i, miraculously, found this book: https://www.amazon.com/Headache-Pelvis-Understanding-Treatment-Prostatitis-ebook/dp/B00UESECTS/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1540331526&sr=1-2&keywords=headache+in+the+pelvis

which has a protocol called "paradoxical relaxation" that aims to calm a tense pelvis through something i now understand as meditation. paradoxical because you don't try to relax. you just observe the tension for 45 min in the morning, and 45 min at night (sounds familiar?) anyhow long story (it took two years of paradoxical relaxation - with many relapses) short i'm cured, and a friend finally put two and two and mentioned that i had cured myself with meditation! this has happened to many people (entertaining and well written account: https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Us-Sit-Still-Skeptics/dp/1609614488/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1540331712&sr=1-1&keywords=teach+us+to+sit+still+by+tim+parks).

anyhow so my meditation story begins, and now, through you (another miracle) i found this book!

thank you!!!
