Dr. Christiane Northrup, host of Flourish!

New York Times best-selling author and beloved authority on women’s health and wellness, Dr. Christiane Northrup, interviewed Larry and Belinda Wurn on her radio show, Flourish!

There was a delightful energy between Dr. Northrup and the Wurns as they discussed their journey in discovering the Wurn Technique®. Dr. Northrup commended the Wurns dedication in finding this technique in an effort to treat the source of Belinda’s own debilitating pain. What they  discovered were  tight, glue-like adhesions that formed as a result of the intense radiation therapy that Belinda endured during her battle with cervical cancer.

Larry and Belinda went on to explain that their pioneering work with fertility issues, sexual dysfunction, and bowel obstructions developed as a result of patient’s testimonies about natural pregnancies, increased function, and decreased pain following treatment at Clear Passage.

Dr. Northrup stated, “I’ll tell the entire world, I’m planning to come down and go through your program for five days.” Dr. Northrup has a true understanding of how adhesions can cause pain and dysfunction throughout the body.

Many people suffer from debilitating chronic pain and discomfort due to small bowel obstruction . Often times this  pain is a mechanical obstruction due to adhesions that form. Many times the only option is a highly restricted diet or an  invasive surgical procedure to cut away the part of the bowel that is obstructed with adhesions. Surgery, however, is also the cause of more adhesion formation, so though a surgical procedure may provide relief temporarily, the pain and dysfunction often return as more adhesions form. This can begin a never ending cycle of surgeries that can be both risky and costly.  There is a natural alternative treatment for small bowel obstruction called the Wurn Technique®. You can read more about this natural treatment by reading our Small Bowel Obstruction eBook.

This eBook describes the cause and treatment of adhesions which can cause pain and dysfunction in the abdomen. Adhesions are thick fibrous bands of scar tissue that form following a trauma or surgery. These adhesions can attach to the delicate tissues of the small bowel and act as an adhesive glue that slows or stops regular function. The Wurn Technique® is a hands-on physical therapy has been shown to decrease pain and increase function by pulling apart these adhesions strand by strand. This allows the body to return to normal function.

Many people suffer from debilitating chronic pain following mastectomy surgery. This pain is largely due to post-surgical adhesions that form during the healing process. This pain is often dismissed as purely psychological by medical professionals because the adhesion formation is invisible in x-rays and traditional medical tests. Those who do find treatment are often given the option of another  invasive surgical procedure to cut away the adhesions or powerful pain pharmaceuticals to mask the pain.  However, there is a natural alternative treatment for endometriosis called the Wurn Technique®. You can read more about this natural treatment by reading our Post Mastectomy Pain eBook.

This eBook describes the cause and treatment of adhesions which can cause pain, burning, and tightness throughout the body. Adhesions are thick fibrous bands of scar tissue that form following a trauma or surgery. These adhesions can attach to delicate tissues and organs causing tightness and pain by acting as an adhesive glue. The Wurn Technique® is a hands-on physical therapy has been shown to decrease pain and increase function by pulling apart these adhesions strand by strand. This allows the body to return to normal function and relieves the stress and pulling on the delicate tissues within the body.

Larry Wurn, Research Director of Clear Passage Therapies, discusses manual physical therapy (Wurn Technique) to treat internal adhesions and scarring.

Adhesions naturally form as part of the healing process after an infection, inflammation, surgery, or trauma.  Unfortunately, the body has no natural way to dissolve adhesions. As such, they can cause pain or dysfunction, including nearly half of all female infertility.

Clear Passage Physical Therapy is designed to decrease internal adhesions, reduce pain, and increase function, naturally and permanently.

“Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain” by Larry and Belinda Wurn with Richard King, MD is available now at amazon.com (Med-Art Press). Foreword by New York Times best-selling author Christiane Northrup, MD  and endorsed by physicians from Harvard, Columbia, Northwestern, and other fine professionals.

Dr. Jacques Moritz, Director of Endoscopy Section and Division of Gynecology, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center says, “As a gynecological surgeon I have seen first hand what happens after I operate on patients. As much as I try to prevent adhesions I know that most patients after surgery are going to develop some form of adhesive disease. In the past treatment for adhesions has been even more surgery which caused even more adhesions. Now with the amazing “Clear Passage” technique patients have a safe and effective alternative to surgery. ”

Chlamydia, often know as the “silent” STD, can cause extensive scarring and adhesions within the female reproductive tract. Because Chlamydia produces relatively few noticeable symptoms, women are often unaware they have it until they struggle with infertility and undergo extensive diagnostic testing. Although doctors can cure Chlamydia with pharmaceuticals, the adhesions and scar tissue caused by the disease will remain in the body.

The only option conventional medicine can offer women with adhesions is laparoscopic surgery. However, surgery to open blocked fallopian tubes is not always successful. Furthermore, laparoscopic surgery itself can cause more adhesions and scar tissue to form.

Nicole, one of our former patients, struggled with just this problem. When Nicole and her husband couldn’t become pregnant after three years, they sought the help of a reproductive endocrinologist (RE). Her RE performed a series of tests. Nicole told us, “That when I found out I had an undetected STD, Chlamydia. It had caused scar tissue to form around and block my fallopian tubes.”

Her specialist recommended surgery to open the tubes or IVF. Nicole sought a second opinion with another RE who suspected she had fibroids in her uterus in addition to blocked tubes. He suggested she undergo a myomectomy to remove the fibroids and he would also try to open her blocked fallopian tubes at the same time. He successfully removed the fibroids, but he couldn’t open her tubes.

Nicole then tried three IVFs, all of which were unsuccessful or ended in miscarriage. Afterward, she heard about our clinic on an infertility chat site and decided to attend. After treatment, her HSG test showed her fallopian tubes were clear!

However, Nicole’s doctor encouraged her to undergo IVF. Nicole, concerned about her biological clock, she chose to undergo the procedure and told us, “At nine weeks, I discovered I had twins, but one passed away early in the pregnancy.” Nicole later gave birth to her baby girl, Joy.

Everyone was later surprised when Nicole became unexpectedly pregnant after the birth of Joy. Nicole exclaimed, “We didn’t try anything and we got pregnant!” Nicole’s tubes had indeed opened and she later gave birth to a little boy.

Unexplained female infertility can be an extremely frustrating diagnosis. As one patient told us, “At least when you know a cause, you can find an answer, or have something to battle against.”

When women come to our clinic with unexplained infertility, we dive into their medical and personal history. Women are often surprised when we ask about accidents in their childhood, such as falls. These events are pertinent because they can have a lasting impact on the body. When your body is injured, collagen rushes to the area to contain and repair the site. Collagen continues to build to help the area heal and eventually forms adhesions. Over time, the body will appear healed on the outside, but the adhesions will remain on the inside, often restricting and adhering previously mobile structures. A confounding problem for doctors is that adhesions do not show-up on diagnostic tests, unless extremely large.

At CPT, we sink our hands into the patient’s skin and palpate all organs and structures to feel if they are adhered or immobile. We then gently deform, detach, and break-apart the adhesions to restore mobility and function.

One of our former patients, Roxanne, underwent an appendectomy at age 10. Her doctor warned that the procedure could cause some internal scarring that could interfere with pregnancy. At age 30, Roxanne experienced difficulty conceiving. When she came to us for treatment, we focused on reducing adhesions in her reproductive tract and near the site of her surgery. Three months after treatment, she became pregnant naturally. She delivered a healthy baby girl and later had a second child.

Post-surgical adhesions can cause chronic pain and dysfunction if left untreated. In an upcoming book ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,’ researchers examine a non-surgical therapy developed to treat adhesions.

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB ) October 29, 2008 –Surgeries save lives, but they often create glue-like adhesions as the body heals from surgery. Post-surgical adhesions can cause pain and even life-threatening problems, such as bowels that become blocked and lose their function.

In an upcoming book, ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,’ researchers examine a non-surgical therapy (Wurn TechniqueÒ) that has decreased or eliminated adhesions in many patients, including abdominal adhesions and post- surgical adhesions.

Many pelvic and abdominal surgeries require repeat surgery – to remove the adhesions that formed from the earlier surgery. Abdominal adhesions occur in over 90% of patients after major abdominal surgery and pelvic adhesions occur in 55-100% of women who undergo pelvic surgery, according to a study in the journal ‘Digestive Surgery’ (2001). In a large study published in ‘Lancet’ (1999), over a third of patients who underwent major abdominal or pelvic surgery were re-hospitalized at least twice to treat adhesion related conditions.

The Wurn Technique® was created to treat the adhesions physical therapist Belinda Wurn developed after pelvic surgery. “I had double-over pain,” she said. “I could not work or stand up straight. It hurt to sit and even to breathe; the pain was always there.”

Wurn did not want to undergo a repeat surgery, knowing that more adhesions would likely form. Her husband, Larry Wurn, joined her in a search for a ‘hands-on’ answer. “We basically searched the world for an answer,” he said. “Each new piece we learned brought us that much closer to a cure.”

The Wurns have now published several studies on the manual physical therapy in peer-reviewed medical journals.

“Our biggest surprise was the variety of conditions that responded well to the therapy,” Belinda said. “Post-surgical pain patients responded well – then, we started seeing improvements in infertile women. When the therapy opened blocked fallopian tubes, we named our clinic Clear Passage Therapies.”

Studies in ‘Medscape General Medicine’ (2004) and ‘Fertility and Sterility’ (2006) showed that the therapy improved fertility and decreased or eliminated endometriosis and intercourse pain in most participants. In a study from ‘Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine’ (2008) the therapy opened blocked fallopian tubes in women who had been diagnosed infertile. Most had natural pregnancies after their tube(s) opened, and several had second natural pregnancies – indicating that the results of therapy lasted for years for some women.

‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain’ will be published this winter; Larry and Belinda Wurn with research gynecologist, Richard King, MD, are co-authoring the book. The table of contents is available at the Clear Passage Therapies blog to spur discussions with their readers on important topics. A free e-book excerpt from the book will be available soon at Clear Passage Therapies.
