The Canadian Urological Society has just released an updated
guideline for adult urinary incontinence which supports the use of conservative
management before medication in all patient groups. This is a well done summary of current literature
and can be an adjunct to marketing efforts of PTs.

Therapists might also be interested in the 2011 guideline on
prostatitis. It summarizes the 4 categories,
diagnosis and treatment. It does include
category 3 CPPS and recognizes the possibility of massage of trigger
points. However, it also points out that
there is not enough high level research to fully support the treatment. Keep those research projects going!
