Case Report on Chronic Prostatitis: Assess, Don't Guess

In this case report of a patient with chronic prostatitis, we go through his case history and how he saw two pelvic PTs without relief.The biggest common denominator?  Not frequently conducting an internal pelvic floor assessment to actually assess what was going on.  In fact, over the course of 20 visits this patient had an internal assessment twice.  Twice!So how often should we be performing an internal assessment?  Is twice in a given session 'too much'?  And why are we uncomfortable with the assess -> intervene -> reassess model we were taught in PT school when it comes to pelvic health?  Pelvic PT EssentialsIf you'd like to get more confident in your initial evaluation and communication skills, check out the Pelvic PT Essentials course!Shout Out and Get in Touch!If you're enjoying the podcast, please take a few seconds to take a screenshot and put it up in your Instagram Stories and tag Nicole (@nicolecozeandpt).  Or send us an email at [email protected] with your thoughts, questions or ideas.  We'd love to hear from you!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to physical therapists to change the way we treat pelvic health.   PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
