Clear Passage Helped This Couple
Following a positive diagnosis of a hydrosalpinx by HSG, this couple traveled to Clear Passage’s National Headquarters in Gainesville, Florida in search of a less invasive treatment for their infertility. Watch their story in the clip above to hear how they eventually overcame their infertility struggles.
What Exactly is A Hydrosalpinx?
A hydrosalpinx is a collection of watery fluid within the fallopian tube, usually as a result of damage at the distal (far) end of the tube, near the ovary. It not only renders the affected tube(s) totally ineffective, it may also lessen the effectiveness of various infertility treatments (e.g. in vitro fertilization [IVF]).
Diagnosis can be made by ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), laparoscopy or laparotomy (open surgery). Many couples face infertility following the diagnosis of a hydrosalpinx.
Clear Passage Physical Therapy Opens a New Clinic
A natural “hands-on” treatment to treat infertility, pain and recurring bowel obstruction is now available in Indianapolis, Indiana. Clear Passage Physical Therapy introduced their newest physical therapist-director Amy Robinson, as a certified practitioner in November, 2011.
Clear Passage Physical Therapy, which provides a unique hands-on treatment to patients from around the world, opened a new clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana in November, 2011. With research published in major medical journals, the group will expand its patent-pending hands-on therapy for infertility, pain and bowel obstruction to the Mid-West region.
“This location will allow patients from the northern and central US many options for travel, with several major airports in the area,” said Belinda Wurn, PT, and National Director for the group. “This location will join a network of Clear Passage clinics in Florida, Washington DC, and California.”
The Indianapolis Clinic Director, Amy Robinson, PT, has over 16 years experience as a physical therapist. She has extensive training and knowledge in treating adhesions, pelvic floor dysfunction, and chronic pain. In her role at Clear Passage Physical Therapy, Amy will treat similar conditions, adding post-surgical pain, and female infertility.
She will also treat small bowel obstructions – a life-threatening condition that heretofore has only been treated by surgery. “This is an important advance,” said Robinson, “I have worked with wonderful surgeons – and most recognize that abdominal surgery puts their patients at risk for repeat obstructions.” Her certification and expertise will create a seamless merger with the pioneering work of the Wurns in their continuing efforts to provide therapy and research in previously uncharted areas of non-surgical therapy.

A “Hands-On” Physical Therapy Replaces Infertility Surgery
A manual physical therapy protocol (Wurn Technique®) continues to show good results for

women diagnosed infertile due to adhesions or blocked fallopian tubes,according to authors of a recent study. The therapy, considered innovative because it requires neither surgery nor drugs, focuses on decreasing the scars and adhesions that contribute to female infertility, and block fallopian tubes.
“Three years after publication of our original studies, the therapy continues to produce good results. Women diagnosed infertile are able to conceive naturally, without the physical risks and financial stress associated with fertility drugs and surgeries,” said study author, physical therapist Belinda Wurn. “Physicians are paying more attention after the work received coverage in some major medical journals,” she said.
In the initial study, the patent-pending therapy (Wurn Technique®) opened fallopian tubes in most of the women with totally blocked tubes, and most of those became pregnant naturally. A scientific examination of the therapy, performed at Clear Passage Physical Therapy® clinics, was published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, and reviewed in Contemporary Ob/Gyn. Theauthors hope to begin a larger, controlled study later this year.
Previous studies and citations on the therapy note its effectiveness in related areas, including significant decreases in pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, menstruation, and intercourse. For more information, visit http://www.clearpassage.com.
New Book: Treating Female Infertility and Pain
Research gynecologist Richard King, MD joins Belinda and Larry Wurn as a co-author of the book, “Overcome Infertility and Pain, Naturally.” Inside the book, the authors share a 20-year medical journey developing a physical therapy treatment to help patients achieve goals of natural full-term pregnancies and pain-free lives.
Starting with Belinda’s debilitating adhesion pain after cancer surgery and massive doses of radiation therapy,“Overcome Infertility and Pain, Naturally,” tells compelling stories from the authors’ files, and relates the development of pioneering research in women’s health. With a Foreword by New York Times best-selling author Christiane Northrup, MD, OB-GYN,
Overcome Infertility and Pain, Naturally By Belinda Wurn, PT and Larry Wurn, LMT
and endorsed by doctors from Harvard, Columbia, and Northwestern Medical Schools, this book promises to usher in a women’s health revolution.
“Your work is a Godsend,” says Dr. Northrup, who gives “a heartfelt thank you for providing women all over the world with such a safe, natural, and effective therapy to enhance fertility and pelvic health.”
With over 700 pages, this book is an elegant combination of more than 80 individual patient narratives, intertwined with 20 years of remarkable discovery, and the development of a ‘hands-on’ physical therapy which is backed by published scientific research.
More than 100 original illustrations provide a rich visual journey into the body. The book explains why adhesions cause problems for millions of patients and their doctors, and why a unique manual therapy, born from Belinda’s adversity, has been successful for so many women who were diagnosed ‘beyond help’ by their physicians. As well as giving a good education about the workings of the female body, this book gives hope to women who thought there was nowhere else to turn to achieve their dreams.
This book is a condensation and re-title of the previously published “Miracle Mom, Better Sex, Less Pain,” by the same authors.
