Gainesville, FL, June 19, 2006/PRNewswire/ – Physical therapists researching a non-surgical infertility treatment report 167 babies born or presently expected to infertile women who received the new therapy.

“Passing 150 births is a real milestone for us, but we feel this is only the beginning,” said co-developer and physical therapist Belinda Wurn. “It is gratifying to see success in a large variety of infertility diagnoses, and that positive results seem to last for years.”

“One of my fallopian tubes had been surgically removed and the other was completely blocked, leaving me with no chance for a natural pregnancy,” said one patient to Wurn. “It was an amazing feeling when I learned my tube was open after therapy, and even more amazing when I became pregnant naturally. I have since been blessed with three healthy babies.”

The hands-on physical therapy was first examined in two studies published in the peer reviewed medical journal Medscape General Medicine (6/04). The first study examined the ability of the therapy to help infertile women conceive naturally. After therapy, 71% of the participants had a natural pregnancy and most had full-term births.

The second study showed that women who received the therapy before IVF had a 67% clinical pregnancy rate in embryos transferred after therapy – significantly higher than the 41% control group (P<.001). Average duration of infertility before therapy in the studies was five years.

“Both of my IVF transfers before therapy were unsuccessful,” said another patient to therapist Mandy Roscow, MPT. “I had endometriosis and hoped this therapy would prepare my body to be more successful in my next transfer. Apparently it did — I became pregnant in my first IVF after therapy and now have beautiful twins!”

The new treatment is considered low risk, as it uses no drugs or surgery, according to co-developer Larry Wurn. The therapy, known as the Wurn Technique®, is used to treat infertility and pelvic and intercourse pain. It is available exclusively at several Clear Passage Therapies® clinics from New York to California. The 20-hour program can be completed in as little as five days.
