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.

Foreword by New York Times best-selling author Christiane Northrup, MD and endorsed by physicians from Harvard, Columbia, Northwestern, and other fine professionals.

Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple, Family Medicine Instructor, Northwestern University Medical School, and Medical Director, Integrative Medicine NorthShore University HealthSystem says, “I am excited to see that you have studied and perfected a technique to treat adhesions, with years of experience, scientific ‘backup’ and case studies to prove it. This technique makes sense: to put ‘hands on’ the problem and nurture the body’s innate desire to heal from pelvic pain, hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, infertility, and related dysfunction. Read this book if you suffer from pelvic or digestive disorders, or if you are a doctor who sees patients with these problems.” Read more reviews from top physicians, authors, and other respected professionals.

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) December 3, 2008 – As the Christmas season begins, more and more shoppers are turning to their computers to find the perfect gifts. Clear Passage Therapies, a recognized leader in manual physical therapy for adhesions, pain, and infertility, offers seven steps to help online holiday shoppers ease or eliminate pain.

Larry Wurn, Director of Clinical Studies, Clear Passage Therapies, and co-author of a new book Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, says, “Poor posture and increased time at the computer can lead to head, neck, and shoulder pain and stiffness.”

Wurn suggests the following tips to improve online shopping stamina and avoid postures that can cause pain:

1)     Start with a solid foundation – find a good chair that supports your back and forearms.

2)     Your feet should touch the floor. If they don’t, use a footrest to give yourself additional support.

3)     Adjust the height of your computer screen to the same level as your eyes. Wurn says, “If your screen is adjusted too low, the muscles at the back of your neck work overtime, causing chronic neck and shoulder pain or headaches at the base of the skull.”

4)     Avoid hunching forward since this causes neck strain and spasm. If you keep a reverse curve in your low back, your upper body will generally be in a near-perfect position to relieve strain. You can put a small pillow or little section of the newspaper in your low back to remind you to sit up straight. According to Wurn, “When you need to lean closer to the screen, bend from the hips, not the low back.”

5)     Let your shoulders relax. The body is more stable when the shoulders are down, resting on the torso. If you are not sure whether your shoulders are relaxed, lift them once and then let them drop.

6)     Get up and move at least once every hour – more often if possible. Mobility is an essential part of life and helps avoid chronic pain.

7)     Support your forearms by placing them on the arm-rests of your chair. Ideally, your wrists should be slightly lower than your elbows. 

Wurn writes more about chronic pain and posture, and treatment for people with chronic pain in Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, a book he is co-authoring to be published in January. The table of contents is available at the Clear Passage Therapies blog to spur discussions with readers on important topics. A free e-book excerpt from the book will be available in December at http://www.clearpassage.com.

“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.

Women with dyspareunia (painful intercourse) may also experience pain in the lower back, hip, buttocks and groin. Some are unable to sit for long periods of time, have frequent bladder infections, or suffer from digestive or bowel problems. Many report a decreased desire to engage in sexual activity, inability to have an orgasm, and problems trying to conceive.

Men often feel powerless in helping their partner deal with these difficult issues. Unable to help relieve the pain, many men become confused, depressed and deeply frustrated that their touch causes their partner pain.

Some women complain that traditional dyspareunia treatments — medication, lubricants or psychological counseling — address symptoms, but not the cause of the pain. However, a recently published study indicates that a more permanent answer may be as simple as “the right touch.”

Seventeen years ago, massage therapist Larry Wurn was frustrated trying to find a cure for his wife’s pelvic pain. Belinda Wurn had to resign as Associate Professor of Physical Therapy at the University of Florida due to the pain she experienced after pelvic surgery. That’s when the couple began to develop a non-invasive hands-on therapy to treat Belinda’s pelvic pain. The therapy, a slow and deep bodywork focused on the areas of pain, has evolved over the years into a treatment for intercourse pain and related disorders.

The Wurn Technique® (patent pending) is a manual physical therapy without the drugs often associated with medical techniques. In a recently published peer reviewed study, it relieved or eliminated intercourse pain in 96% of the women treated, and showed statistically significant improvements in all six major areas of sexual function: (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain). Of the 23 women who received the therapy, 78% reported increased desire and 56% reported increased orgasms on their post treatment study surveys.

According to the Wurns, most patients begin to notice pain relief within the first few hours of therapy. By the end of the one-week program (available at Clear Passage Therapies® clinics) pain significantly decreased or was eliminated in all but one study patient.

In addition to decreasing intercourse pain and improving orgasms, peer reviewed published studies show increased pregnancies in women diagnosed infertile, after this therapy.

Belinda Wurn, PT graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in physical therapy from the University of Florida in 1975. She and her husband, massage therapist Larry Wurn, owned a network of chronic pain clinics as they developed their work treating pelvic pain and female infertility. Belinda is considered an expert in causes and treatments of various types of sexual dysfunction including decreased orgasm, desire, arousal, lubrication and satisfaction and painful intercourse. She has co-authored studies about improving natural and IVF (in vitro fertilization) pregnancy rates in women diagnosed infertile.

Larry Wurn, LMT studied manual therapy with several recognized experts in manual therapy to help treat Belinda for pain and dysfunction following surgery and pelvic radiation. Prior to their development, Belinda had been unable to find relief with traditional medical care. As Larry progressed in his education, he and Belinda developed new techniques to help relieve pain and improve reproductive function, including fertility.

Research studies: Belinda and Larry were joined by scientists and research physicians who became fascinated with the results they saw with this new therapy. To date, the group has published three studies in WebMD’s internationally recognized peer-reviewed journal, Medscape General Medicine. These studies were distributed to 2.5 million physician subscribers in 249 countries and were recently accepted into the US Library of Medicine.
