You’ll find there’s a toolbox of skills to help regain your pride and your passion… and an end the ‘cock block’ in your jocks!


As a Men’s Health Physiotherapist dealing with prostates and penises every day, I’m always looking out for my patients. Resources for men are rare to find. For those enduring persistent pelvic pain and erectile dysfunction the lack of information can be terribly despairing. As my thousands of male patients have taught me, any reduction in penile function equates to a loss of self-esteem, personal empowerment and masculinity. The subsequent impact on a man’s quality of life and all his relationships should not be underestimated. Believe me, ‘cock block’ is what no man wants to endure!

Dr. Susie Gronski’s Pelvic Pain: The Ultimate Cock Block provides both answers and solutions towards regaining your manpower in a factual, yet humorous way. Covering all bases, she perfectly pitches all you need to know about male anatomy, pain science, brain training, sexual function, exercise and treatment options. Written in a language style that every man and his partner will relate to, I can not more highly recommend this text. So if you’ve got a spare hour or two – be kind to yourself!
