Great information! by Cindy S. (Mt. Cobb, PA USA)  4 Stars
November 27, 2009
This is a great book that provides useful information on how to relieve the symptoms of pelvic pain. I have suffered with pelvic pain for many years and the stretches in this book have helped me so much. I have a difficult time finding the time to do the exercise routine on a daily basis, but I still have found results. A must read for those suffering from pelvic pain.

Amazing! by Servant (California, USA)  5 Stars
November 27, 2009
I have been a sufferer of pelvic pain for about 2.5 years now. I have gone through about 6 months of professional physical therapy (which reduced my symptoms by about 30%). I was looking for a way to handle this problem myself, as the physical therapy requires me to burn "sick time" three times a week, and it's not exactly cheap under my insurance plan. So, I purchased three books on Pelvic pain up here on Amazon. This one is clearly the best written, and the most comprehensive. This book covers all the bases including stretching, trigger point massage, exercise, and diet. The only thing I would consider missing is a chapter on relaxation methods.
The good news for many men and women suffering from pelvic pain is that this book can help. The bad news is that this is not a quick fix. If you follow the author's routine for stretching, exercise, and massage you will spend about 2-3 hours a day on it. I'm about a month into the routine, and while I do feel it takes too much of my day, I AM beginning to see results. I expect to be in this for the long haul (6 months to a year) before the pain is gone completely.
The regimen works. The question is, how badly do you want to get better? I just decided that Amy's regimen was going to be my new "hobby". Since I usually spend about 2 hours a day on various other hobbies, it was easy for me to find the time. If you have a lot of other hobbies you are not willing to give up, Amy's regimen may be too time demanding for you.
Amy's stretching routine takes most of the time, but I feel the stretching is the key to recovery.......at least for me. Amy's regimen is designed to stretch and strengthen all of the muscles groups in the pelvic floor, and her illustrations are easy to follow. Something I felt my physical therapist did not cover very well.
This is a great read, and (for many of you) will be the key to eliminating your pelvic pain symptoms. Highly recommended!

Changed my life by Lee Halstead (Millington, TN) 5 Stars
October 02, 2009
I have been dealing with pelvic pain and interstitial cystitis for several years now and this book was a God send. It has helped immensely as I was really scared about what was going on. Not a big book that takes a long time to read; I can't handle that. The author, Amy Stein, writes short and to the point yet covers a lot of ground so you'll learn what you need to know and why it's important to keep up with the exercises. I had never heard of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction until I went to an orthopedic doctor, who was going to refer me to a physical therapist to deal with it but now I'm doing it on my own. I know I've felt better since I've been doing the stretches and I look forward to doing my sessions as they are so relaxing. HIGHLY recommended.

Good Book by S. Crenshaw (Richmond, VA USA) 4 Stars
September 14, 2009
The book came in the promised condition, but the shipping was unclear. I got the first shipping notification within a week of purchasing the book. About a week after the book was supposed to arrive I got another email stating a new arrival date a couple weeks later than the original date. It was slightly annoying, but I did receive the book and there are no other complaints.
