We Treat - The Wurn Technique^®

Belinda Wurn, founder of the Wurn Technique®, treats a patient for
abdominal adhesions.

The Wurn Technique^® is a unique hands-on physical therapy protocol, developed over 20+ years by its inventors, Belinda Wurn, PT and Larry Wurn, LMT. The Wurn Technique^® was initially created to decrease pain and increase function for Belinda, when adhesions from surgery and extensive radiation therapy left her unable to work and in debilitating chronic pain. The Wurns discovered that the body forms adhesions – bonds like nylon ropes – to help injured tissues heal. Once healing has occurred, the adhesions remain in the body, often binding tissues that were previously free to move naturally. When this happens, pain and dysfunction are the natural result.

The Wurn Technique^® is designed to deform and detach the bonds of these tiny but powerful adhesions, and return the body to normal pain-free function. As a manual physical therapy protocol, it works without the risks or side effects of surgery or drugs.

Sometimes, therapy can feel like a deep stretch; other times, the work can be very light, as it follows the subtle rhythm within the sheath that surrounds the spinal cord. Depending on the diagnosis and treatment area, the therapist may work to improve motility – subtle organ movements. At other times, the therapist may ask the patient to flex large muscles, or move in certain ways, to improve the body’s symmetry and function. We keep good communication with patients at all times, to maintain their comfort level, and to make sure they understand our intent, and our findings. We educate most patients in techniques to prevent reinjury, and to maximize results.

We treat the entire body with a focus on specific areas of pain or dysfunction. The protocol includes over 200 individual techniques, designed to reduce and eliminate the adhesions that form wherever the body heals. The patent-pending therapy is defined in a 600 page Therapist Training Manual, written by the Wurns and their staff. Study and testing on its contents is required for any physical therapist before receiving training and licensure to provide the therapy.

During its decades of development, the Wurn Technique^® has helped thousands of men, women, and children achieve their goals and reclaim their lives. Some people use it as a stand-alone treatment – others as an adjunct to their physician’s care. The Wurn Technique® is designed to treat the adhesions that cause severe or longstanding pain, poor body function, bowel obstructions, and female infertility.

Positive results of the Wurn Technique^® have been published in highly respected medical journals, and accepted into the US National Library of Medicine. Citations about this work appear in WebMD’s Medscape General Medicine, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s Fertility and Sterility, and other peer-reviewed journals, including Contemporary Ob-Gyn, and Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. Physicians and scientists from respected medical schools help guide the Wurns in ongoing scientific inquiries.
