Turning Back the Clock

March 15, 2011 Clear Passage Physical Therapy No comments

It seems we could all use a bit more time these days. More time to meet a friend for coffee, more time to dust off that treadmill you bought with the best intentions, more time to enjoy the little things, and perhaps more time to have a baby.  As the hands of a woman’s biological clock run their steady marathon in clockwise circles, we often try desperately to turn those hands in the opposite direction.

Our bodies, much like our memories, have a complex system of remembering what has happened in the past. With each healing event our bodies endure, whether a fall from a bike or a trip to the hospital, a detailed account is written of these traumas in the form of adhesions.

Adhesions form as the body’s response to trauma. These traumas can be from a fall, surgery, infection, or inflammation. As these thick fibrous bands of adhesions form, they attach to nearby tissues and organs. These attachments can cause restrictions that are often the underlying cause of infertility. These mechanical fertility issues include blocked fallopian tubes, hydrosalpinx, unexplained infertility, high FSH, and endometriosis.

The therapists at Clear Passage Physical Therapy are experts when it comes to treating these powerful adhesive restrictions throughout the body.  The therapists use their hands to address the adhesions that restrict normal function of the delicate female reproductive system.  The therapy, in essence, turns back the clock by freeing the body from restrictions from past healing events.

Infertility’s Undiagnosed Cause and a Possible Cure

January 12, 2011 Clear Passage Physical Therapy 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.”

Endometriosis eBook

August 3, 2010 Clear Passage Physical Therapy No comments

Click here to read our Endometriosis eBook

Many people suffer from debilitating pain and fertility issues due to endometriosis.  This largely mysterious condition is often treated with invasive surgical procedures or powerful pain pharmaceuticals.  However, there is a natural alternative treatment for endometriosis called the Wurn Technique®.  You can read more about this natural treatment by reading our Endometriosis eBook

This eBook describes the cause and treatment of adhesions which we believe to be the cause of the pain and infertility associated with endometriosis. 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.

Share this information with someone you know who suffers from endometriosis, and help them find a path to fertility and pain-free living.

Using a Holistic Viewpoint to Treat Unexplained Pain and Infertility

March 24, 2009 Clear Passage Physical Therapy No comments

By Jackie

When you go to see a general practitioner with a set of health complaints, he or she will certainly want to hear your list of symptoms. But when it comes time to specifically determine the cause or choose a treatment option, some doctors feel their patients will be better served by a specialist.

While specialists can certainly be helpful, the “referral routine” quickly becomes tiresome when you are passed from specialist to specialist with unexplained pain or dysfunction. Specialists can thoroughly examine the problem from their perspective and provide answers, but sometimes, they cannot catch connections between different bodily systems or distant structures. It is certainly not their fault; specialists are experts in one area and are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat this area day-in and day-out.

A classic example is unexplained infertility. If you are a female and experience problems conceiving, your general practitioner will recommend you speak with a gynecologist. When your gynecologist cannot find a problem, he or she will likely refer you to a reproductive endocrinologist (RE). The RE will do a thorough work-up. If the RE cannot find a cause for your infertility, she may recommend various medications or procedures such as IVF.

While this approach certainly works for many women, the RE may miss vital mechanical components between different structures due to their specialist viewpoint. For example, if adhesions cause the pituitary gland to be constricted, they may impair hormonal function and prevent fertility. Our therapists have also treated some women who were in severe car crashes and subsequently experienced unexplained infertility. Although these women didn’t correlate the car accident with their infertility, their therapists noticed severe adhesions that likely formed after the car accident and impaired their fertility (see By Jackie When you go to see a general practitioner with a set of health complaints, he or she will certainly want to hear your list of symptoms.

Providing Hope for Women with Unexplained Infertility

February 22, 2009 Clear Passage Physical Therapy No comments

“The mystery of unexplained infertility is truly no mystery. There is always a cause; discovering the cause is the challenge.” – Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain

The new book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, seeks to demystify health conditions considered “unexplained” or “untreatable.” Authors Belinda and Larry Wurn devote an entire chapter of the book to unexplained infertility. They believe that when no known cause for infertility can be found, adhesions are the likely culprit.

Adhesions are composed of tiny strands of collagen. If the body is injured, collagen rushes to the area to help contain and repair the site. As the strands of collagen continue to build, they form adhesions. While helpful, these adhesions can also attach to neighboring structures, constrict organs and structures, and impair proper function in many ways.

Adhesions in the pelvic cavity

Adhesions in the pelvic cavity

Adhesions can form after a variety of common life events – so common that many women would never consider them as a probable cause for their infertility. Common events include bladder infections, yeast infections, inflammation of any kind, car accidents, falls, surgery, etc. When these events occur in or near the reproductive tract, pelvis, or abdomen, adhesions can constrict the area and prevent proper function. The sensitive structures of the reproductive system can easily become restrained, pulled, or adhered – leading to infertility.

The Wurns and other Clear Passage Therapies (CPT) therapists treat unexplained infertility by addressing adhesions. When a woman attends CPT for treatment of unexplained infertility, the therapists design an individualized treatment plan based on the patient’s medical history and a thorough physical evaluation. During the evaluation, therapists examine the patient’s body for signs of adhesion formation, including areas of pain, tension, immobility, imbalance, and malfunction.

Once the therapists have identified areas of adhesion formation, they use manual physical therapy techniques (collectively known as the Wurn Technique ®) to detach, deform, and disfigure these adhesions. The Wurn Technique ® enables proper mobility and function to be restored, thus decreasing pain, increasing function, and improving fertility.

In Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, over nine women with unexplained infertility share their journeys through infertility and how they eventually became pregnant with manual physical therapy.
