November 7, 2011 alishiac No comments

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

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.

Meet the Therapists – Larry Wurn, LMT

August 26, 2011 alishiac 4 comments

What is your name?
Larry Wurn

How long have you been a therapist?
Since 1989, so 22 years

Larry with his beautiful bride, Belinda on their wedding day.

How long have you been practicing the Wurn Technique?
My wife Belinda and I began developing it in 1989. We then incorporated Clear Passage in 1995.

How did you first become interested in this work?
It began when my wife developed debilitating adhesions, after surgery and massive doses of radiation therapy.

Where did you grow up?
Jacksonville, Florida, then moved to San Francisco in 1969. I became Guest Curator at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in 1972, coordinating large, multi-museum shows throughout the San Fransisco Bay area for the next three years.

What’s your favorite food?
I love Indian and Thai food, and anything with lots of garlic!

Where did you receive your education?
University of North Carolina, then transferred to San Francisco State University during a very exciting time in the early 70’s. That was when our campus became a center of protest of the Viet Nam War. I can still remember police on horseback herding students into or away from certain buildings – while I was just trying to get to class.

What is your philosophy on continuing education?
Continuing education is vitally important. You never stop learning. I learn every day from study, from my co-workers, and from my patients.

What conditions do you have experience treating?
My main focus centers around the adhesions that form wherever the body heals. I have extensive experience treating chronic pain, bowel obstruction, female infertility, endometriosis, intercourse and menstrual pain, TMJ, chronic head and neck pain, low back and post-surgical pain.

Where is your favorite place to go on vacation?
Anywhere exotic – where there is no fax machine, phone service or Internet! My favorite is being “away from it all.” For that reason, I love to scuba dive – to just be one of the fish!

What is your favorite part about treating patients?
I love giving people back their lives, and helping make their dreams come true.

What do you hear patients say most often after receiving treatment?
“I don’t want to leave; I wish I lived here.”

What one word describes you best?
Inspired.

What drives you every day?
There are people suffering with physical needs that have found no relief, or whose conditions have worsened, using traditional medicine – drugs or surgery. Some have debilitating pain, some have life-threatening conditions; many have been told “there is nothing that can be done for you” or “it’s all in your head” when it is clear to us that they have very real, tangible problems. In most cases, these are conditions that we can reverse.

I love it that we are so often able to give people back pain-free lives and hope using a non-invasive therapy that is based on compassion, and grounded in science.

I love it that to be successful, we must deeply listen to our patients, ask them what they are feeling, and even what they feel needs to happen in their bodies for them to reach their goals. Thus, we empower each patient to help create and direct her/his own cure. Working together with patients to achieve a great result is exciting, powerful and humbling. I am truly blessed to be able to work with people in need, and to help them find a new life, and achieve their goals.

Infertility’s Undiagnosed Cause and a Possible Cure

January 12, 2011 alishiac No comments

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.”

Uncovering the True Culprit of Infertility: Adhesions

October 8, 2010 alishiac 8 comments
Adhesion formation can cause infertility by gluing down delicate tissues and organs and reducing regular function

Adhesion formation can cause infertility by gluing down delicate tissues and organs and reducing regular function.

For many women, the diagnosis of infertility begins a dedicated search for help, hope and healing. Many causes of infertility go undiagnosed while others are diagnosed as blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or hydrosalpinx. However, in many cases of infertility, the true culprit comes in the form of tiny internal scars called adhesions.

These adhesions form as the bodies first response in the healing process. As adhesions form, they can attach to delicate tissues and organs creating a strong glue-like bond that restricts movement and regular function. This restriction of function causes infertility when adhesions attach throughout the pelvis and reproductive organs.  Adhesions are a particularly difficult condition because they do not appear on most diagnostic tests. Unless the adhesions are extremely large, doctors cannot know they are there unless directly visualized during surgery.

Generally, treatment for adhesions involves a surgical procedure in which the surgeon cuts or burns the adhesive bonds throughout the abdomen. However, due to the trauma and healing process involved in this procedure, adhesions often reform, sometimes worse than before the surgery.

There is a non-surgical solution for treating adhesions called the Wurn Technique®. This treatment is a hands-on physical therapy that has been successful in treating the following:

An Excerpt from ‘Fertility Rates Improve After Addressing Underlying Adhesions’ By Laura Owens

One in eight couples is affected by infertility. Faced with the overwhelming emotional and physical stress of trying to conceive, many couples seek alternative treatments after conventional medicine fails.

The Wurn Technique® is one such approach. Developed by Belinda and Larry Wurn, this treatment is based on manually palpatating blockages caused by adhesions in the body, offering a drug and surgery-free treatment for infertility, chronic pain and a long list of pelvic conditions.
