MY STORY, HISTORY AND APPROACH

In 2006 I started my career in Men’s Health joining the Prostate Centre, Wimpole St, London as a Lifestyle Therapist. I took an holistic approach to the treatment of prostate cancer patients, providing advice on fitness, nutrition, stress management and relaxation techniques.

It was during this period that I started my research and training into the treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) and Chronic Prostatitis (CP).

Having suffered with Acute and then Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) from epididymitis and orchitis in my mid 20’s, (read here and here) I already had a vested interest in the treatment of these syndromes.

Consequently working amongst the UK’s leading Men’s Health and Prostate specialists on Wimpole St was the start of my journey.

In 2010 I travelled to Belize, Portland and Mexico to learn a traditional form of abdominal and pelvic massage. Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT) forms the foundation of my approach. I was the first male in Europe to offer this highly specialised treatment. And as a result in 2011 I was invited to lecture at the ATMAT convention in Mexico. My presentation was on the benefits of ATMAT in the treatment of male pelvic pain and type 3 non-bacterial prostatitis.

I have been very fortunate to study with and take huge inspiration from some of the worlds leading Pelvic Pain specialists and the leading thinkers in Chronic and Acute Pain. It is with thanks to these amazing people that I bring you my Chronic Pelvic Pain Approach

As a qualified teacher myself I love to impart knowledge. My approach is to inform patients why they are experiencing their symptoms, how to manage them and how to understand flare ups. However, in the fight against male pelvic pain it is important to educate those that work in and around mens health too. I have been very fortunate enough to run a number of evening lectures and seminars for patients and health care professionals. Furthermore I was very fortunate enough to be asked to train the Prostate Cancer UK Specialist nurse team . In addition I have also recorded a number of webinars and podcasts as well as guest blogs and articles.

The Future

My studies and research into pelvic health, male pelvic pain and chronic pain continue each year. My aim is to change the current archaic approaches to treating male pelvic pain. I feel this condition has been left out in the dark and cold for far too long. It is time to bring the treatment of Prostatitis and Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome into the 21st Century. As a result I hope that many more men are able to fully recover from CPPS and CP

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.
