Thank you very much for watching the presentation on the BioPsychoSocial (BPS) approach to Prostatitis and CPPS. I hope you enjoyed it? If you did it would be great for you to share the link amongst friends, colleagues and anyone who you feel would benefit. Please feel free to tag them in the Facebook link from The Pelvic Pain Clinic page. I would love for you to engage with the Facebook page and comments section beneath the presentation. If you have any thoughts or comments please feel free to post them. Lets get talking about Male Pelvic Pain.

As promised I have included links to all the research papers below for your reference.

Don’t forget to join us for pt 2 on Thursday 14th December at 11am UK time. I will be covering applications to the BPS approach to treating CPPS and Prostatitis. This will be relevant to patients (and their partners/friends/family members etc.) and therapists. I will introduce practical ways for therapists to engage with their patients and gather BPS information. For patients I will include links and suggestions to a number of resources which will give you an insight into the relevance of the BPS model in their recovery.

Thanks once again for your support. I look forward to your company on many future presentations on Prostatitis and CPPS

Testimonials

Please find below a sample of some of my patient testimonials from over the years. I have not included them ALL here. Instead I have picked a handful of those that demonstrate a wide range of my skill sets, outcomes and patient opinions. I would therefore hope that you are able to gauge how I approach my methods of treatment. If you have any questions regarding any of these comments below or would like to know more about my treatment please contact me here

My aim is to take every individual patient I see and treat them as individuals. If I am not achieving this then I believe I am letting down that patient. It is therefore imperative that my approach is bespoke and tailored. Failure to do so is likely to result in an unsuccessful outcome.

From those testimonials listed below I hope to give you a flavour of what you can expect if you come and see me as a patient.
