I've got this idea after my last check for prostatitis/CPPS. Doc performed digital rectal exploration and massaged a little prostate to check it for pain, dimensions, etc. While the finger was painful, the short massage relaxed my hypertone for almost one day. I started to notice it some minutes after. I could seat in the office with a little bit less discomfort. I started talking about pelvic physiotherapy but he wasn't much interested in it. He just sent me home with antibiotics and a painkiller.
I never considered prostate massage before, but recently when I'm in acute the pain from the pelvic floor up to the tip of the glans is so discomforting I can't sit down and even walking isn't so easy.
I purchased a Lelo Billy massager and have been using it about three times per week. I think it helps with relaxation. I also do sqats twice a day and a kegel-like relaxation exercise. The massager is my own idea, kind of like you and your experience with prostate massage at the doctor. (See my original post). I would rec you see a PT that does pelvic floor therapy for better ideas. I think the exercises she gave me helped. (Also, be prepared for a rectal exam — though not a big deal at all.)
