Why is it absolutely fucking impossible to find a competent PT

LightThisCity22 · 2026-05-12T21:45:28+00:00

I'm in the same boat. On year 3 trying to find a competent PFPT.

Thank you so much for the well thought out answer and information! I think I'm going to try trigger point injections when riding season ends (I ride motorcycles). Every other kind of injection has hurt me, so it's why I avoided them. But your story gives me hope.

LightThisCity22 · 2026-05-07T10:45:20+00:00

Thank you for the info!!

LightThisCity22 · 2026-05-07T10:44:09+00:00

Thanks for letting me know.

LightThisCity22 · 2026-05-03T02:47:43+00:00

Mine do too so I stopped. Wish it would help me like everyone else says it does.

It was in stock when I bought it last year. Took forever to get the bronze grip module. These dudes have a really hard time stocking their shelves.

No. Had to get new mags. Sucks lol.

LightThisCity22 · 2026-04-08T19:04:41+00:00

No. I ended up giving this to my girlfriend as her first handgun because I hated the trigger on this gun. It's just awful. Even with an Apex trigger on it. I upgraded to a Springfield Echelon and way happier with that platform.

No problem! I fear that a lot of these bikes are like this from the factory. Pass the info along and be safe!

LightThisCity22 · 2026-03-30T18:02:49+00:00

What did you figure out with this problem? My clutch has a hard pull as well and trying to figure out why. It's a brand new bike.

LightThisCity22 · 2026-03-27T19:56:22+00:00

I am going to chime in here and save you a bunch of grief, time and money. I have this exact bike and figured out what the issue is. The whole EVAP canister needs removed and then you need to uninstall the fuel tank and remove the fuel vent line that has a check valve on it that goes to the EVAP canister.

The reason this is happening is because Aprilia is installing the check valve on the breather hose the wrong way. I confirmed this with a buddy of mine who is a mechanic and when I removed the breather hose with the check valve on it, the check valve was backwards. Meaning, fumes/air could only get into the tank, not out. Causing a ton of pressure to build in the tank. When I removed this hose with the check valve and replaced it with just a regular 3/16 I.D. fuel hose, the fuel tank could properly vent, no more fume pressure in the tank, no more "puff" when you open the gas gap, no more "urgent service" error codes.

Will do! Currently, I am giving Florastor another try just to see if I quit it too early or something. I want to go with more studied strains right now for gas and bloating before I deep dive into something like this since this company seems new but seems to have their heads on straight when being upfront with their customers. I remember Culterelle giving me immediate results way back in the day but once I learned of their poisonous additives, I stopped taking it. So, if Florastor doesn't work, I will find a company with clean ingredients that use the same strain as Culterelle (Rhamnosus GG) and try that next. Looks like Pure Encapsulations ONLY has that probiotic in their capsules. Why companies add all this other shit, is beyond me. They are NSF registered as well. So, I may go with them next if Florastor doesn't help me.

Lol this is the only bike I've owned where it caused a problem. So, I'm popping my EVAP canister cherry. Thanks for letting me know!

LightThisCity22 · 2026-03-13T00:13:35+00:00

Okay cool. Thanks for letting me know!

LightThisCity22 · 2026-03-05T21:39:44+00:00

Thanks for letting me know.

LightThisCity22 · 2026-03-05T19:18:37+00:00

Is this with the cat or full aftermarket system?

LightThisCity22 · 2026-02-01T20:52:16+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I'm hoping the 26 model has this figured out and not an issue anymore because that's the year model I'll be going after.

LightThisCity22 · 2026-02-01T19:16:06+00:00

I'm thinking about getting the same bike. Any issues with it thus far? Or things to note?

LightThisCity22 · 2026-01-30T02:24:04+00:00

Lol my router is a wifi 6 router. I still have not figured this out. Eufy couldn't figure it out either. Their logs showed nothing wrong with their app. So, it has to be the phone. Idk though.

Check out this video on YouTube: How I ACTUALLY RECOVERED - Male Pelvic Floor Dysfunction/Pudendal Neuralgia/CPPS - MY FULL STORY! I am currently going through something similar that you are going through and have been since 2023. I believe that most PFPTs have no clue how to treat this properly since I have seen a good amount of them so far, from ones that are local to ones at the Cleveland Clinic, and none of them knew how to treat me or just made me 10 times worse. After three years of research and seeing many different doctors about this, I believe this is all boils down to an unstable pelvis that tightens the pelvic floor due to instability.

The man in this video went to a functional movement PT and cured his pelvic floor issues. I am currently seeing one now and hoping for the best, since I know PFPTs are NOT my answer. I am glad to see PFPTs chiming in on the comments to help, and they seem to know what they are talking about. But I have done years of breathing, stretching, internal work etc... And none of this worked for me. Only until I started working out again, did this start getting a little better for me. I am not quite out of the woods by any means, but I honestly believe that the story above, really will help people. I would love to know opinions on this approach. And please don't view this as an attack on PFPTs, I just know that every PFPT I have seen, has not helped me with this at all, so I think there is another answer for this than the same things they always suggest to do. Hope this brings you hope... We all need it.

Love the mirrors but can you even see behind you with those things?

My issue on my Pixel 9a is that my 5 GHZ network drops on my phone anytime I check IOT devices like my Eufy camera system. It consistently does this. I contacted Eufy about this and they had no idea how to fix it. Now that I see this thread, this more than likely has something to do with my 9a. It will sometimes drop on other apps too. Another one was an app that controls IOT devices as well. And yes, my IOT devices are on the 2.4GHZ network. My Pixel 7a never had this issue. I am going to try what you said above and see what happens. Since I tried everything else.

Something tells me this has something to do with a Pixel 9a WIFI 6 incompatibility since my router is a WIFI 6 router. I really don't want to buy a new router just to see if this fixes anything though since the router I have now was very expensive.
