#ShareHope No matter what happens, I am so glad to have learned that I can handle so much more than I ever thought I would have to handle.

I am a warrior, I am a nurturer, and my capacity to love is endless. My arms may be empty now, but I am already a mother!#sharehope

#infertility allows us to connect profoundly with our unborn children. They have a special purpose, & this journey is part of it!#sharehope

Share Hope on Twitter for Infertility Awareness

For parents, each birth is a fairy tale. For millions of infertile women, it’s a hope that sustains them each month, as they search for answers to make their dream of creating a family into a reality.

To honor National Infertility Awareness Week, April 24 to 30, Clear Passage Physical Therapy is hosting the Share Hope campaign as an effort to raise awareness for the infertility community and to connect people in a cause that affects more than 10 million US couples.

Twitter users are invited to  share their infertility stories in less than 140 characters, accompanying their posts with the hash tag “#sharehope.”  Each day, the most heart-warming or humorous tweet will be awarded a free book from a recognized fertility professional and an entry to win 20 hours of hands-on infertility treatment at Clear Passage Physical Therapy, a grand prize worth $5,200.


The winner will be chosen on May 1. In addition to the free hands-on infertility treatment, she will receive a free copy of “Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain” by Belinda Wurn, PT and Larry Wurn, LMT, founders of the Wurn Technique® and co-directors of Clear Passage Physical Therapy, a national network of clinics treating female infertility and pain.


The week-long campaign features book copies from experts including Dr. Christiane Northrup, Dr. Lissa Rankin, Toni Weschler, Kristen Magnacca , and many more.


There are many causes of female infertility, from mechanical problems such as adhesions or blocked fallopian tubes, to hormonal conditions.  Each patient is different, and no single protocol is right for every case. Many have spent years searching for the answer in their own personal quest, feeling alone and isolated in their endeavor.

Infertility’s Undiagnosed Cause and a Possible Cure

On January 17, 2011, Lifetime TV’s, The Balancing Act, will examine the controversial book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain and its claims that a hands-on physical therapy helped hundreds of women overcome infertility. Hostess Danielle Knox will discuss this breakthrough fertility treatment, called the Wurn Technique®, with Larry and Belinda Wurn, book authors and developers of the therapy. The book contains dozens of stories from infertile women who became pregnant naturally after receiving the hands-on technique. This all-natural method uses neither surgery nor drugs, and also relieves pelvic and intercourse pain that plague millions of women, the authors said. Knox will examine their book as part of Lifetime’s author interview series.

In peer-reviewed medical journals, the therapy has shown promising results increasing fertility and opening blocked fallopian tubes. Doctors from Harvard, Columbia and Northwestern medical schools have touted the book and therapy as a valuable resource for consumers and medical professionals.

During the interview, the Wurns share the story that led to the discovery of their innovative non-surgical treatment for infertility. They found adhesions were a common factor in their infertile patients, and developed this method to decrease them. “Adhesions form naturally when the body heals from surgery, trauma, or infection,” Belinda said. “They can act like glue, binding organs and tissues together, and causing pain and infertility.” Because they are difficult for physicians to diagnose and treat, many women are unaware that adhesions can contribute to blocked fallopian tubes, infertility, endometriosis, pelvic and tailbone pain – and even abnormal hormone levels.

The book contains study results and stories from more than 80 patients about success overcoming pain and years of infertility following treatment at the Wurns’ “Clear Passage” clinics. “You succeeded in breaking adhesions that blocked my fallopian tubes. The tests confirm this and I was able to achieve a pregnancy because of your remarkable work, “said Clear Passage patient Melissa Gonzales.

“We were initially surprised that the therapy could make such dramatic improvements without drugs or surgery,” Larry Wurn said. “The success of Clear Passage continues through the changed lives of countless women who visit our clinics from all over the world.”

The Wurns began to develop their work in the 1980s, after Belinda contracted cancer. The surgery that saved her life seemed like a Godsend at the time. But a year later, the adhesions that formed after the surgery left her in debilitating pain. Desperate to find a solutions to the pain Belinda and her husband, Larry Wurn, began exploring non-surgical treatments to give Belinda her life back.

“My doctors said there was nothing they could do about the pain,” Belinda said. “At 30 years old and newly married, I could not accept that I would be crippled by pain and adhesions for the rest of my life. We had no idea that the therapy we developed to treat me would help so many infertile women.”
