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.

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) September 2, 2009 — Adhesions are a leading cause of female infertility, pain, and sexual dysfunction. Many women have avoided surgery for these conditions by using a ‘hands-on’ physical therapy, with proven scientific results.

In the upcoming book ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,’ research gynecologist Richard King, MD joins Belinda and Larry Wurn to share a 20-year medical journey examining a physical therapy treatment to help patients achieve goals of pregnancy, better sex, and a pain-free life. Born from Belinda’s debilitating adhesion pain after cancer surgery, ‘Miracle Moms’ is a pioneering work.

Endorsed by Christiane Northrup, MD, ‘New York Times’ best-selling author (who wrote the Foreword) and physicians from Harvard, Columbia, Northwestern, and other fine medical schools, this book promises to usher in a women’s health revolution for the 21st century.

“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. Your work is a Godsend,” says Dr. Northrup.

With over 700 pages, ‘Miracle Moms’ is an elegant combination of more than 80 heart-felt patient narratives, and 20 years of theory, development, treatment, and published scientific research. More than 100 original illustrations provide a visual journey into the body and help explain how adhesions cause problems for so many patients and doctors, and why the unique manual therapy (Wurn Technique) was successful for so many women who were diagnosed “beyond help” by their physicians – until this therapy fulfilled their dreams.

The authors have published studies in some of the most respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the US. Studies in ‘Medscape General Medicine’ (2004) and ‘Fertility and Sterility’ (2006) showed that the therapy improved female fertility and decreased or eliminated endometriosis pain and intercourse pain in most participants. A major study in ‘Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine’ (2008) showed that the therapy opened totally blocked fallopian tubes in women who had been diagnosed infertile – a feat previously thought impossible. Most had natural pregnancies after their tube(s) opened. The therapy also provides hope for people with post-surgical pain and life-threatening bowel obstructions – common occurrences after surgery.

‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain’ will be published September 15, 2009 and available in bookstores for $29.95. www.miraclemoms.net

Sexual Dysfunction, and Adhesions’ by Belinda Wurn PT, Larry Wurn, LMT with Richard King, MD.

When Belinda Wurn found herself in chronic pain after treatment for cervical cancer, she and her husband began taking manual physical therapy classes. They hoped that these classes would teach them techniques that would decrease the pelvic pain and dysfunction Belinda experienced. Sure enough, the techniques helped tremendously and the Wurns continued taking class after class.

As they learned more and became comfortable with the techniques, they began expanding on the techniques and developed new techniques. Through their physical therapy practice, they encountered numerous patients with unexplained pain and dysfunction. They tried different techniques to find and treat their patients’ pain and dysfunction – taking note which techniques were most effective. Over time, they had a compilation of hundreds of different manual physical therapy techniques. They decided to name this compilation the Wurn Technique ®.

Today, anyone who comes to Clear Passage Therapies is treated with the Wurn Technique ®. It is important to know that the Wurn Technique ® is far more than a series of manual physical therapy maneuvers. The Wurn Technique ® employs three key treatment philosophies that set it apart from any other physical therapy:

• Extensive Patient History Review: The Wurn Technique ® is based on finding areas of previous injury and current restriction, immobility, tightness, pain, and dysfunction. A thorough understanding of a patient’s history is vital to find these areas.
• Patient Participation: The Wurn Technique ® depends on the input of the patient. The patient’s intuition and experience can provide pivotal clues to the cause of pain and dysfunction. The patient also remains active throughout treatment, guiding the therapist with feedback.
• Thorough Palpatory Evaluation: In order for therapists to reduce pain and improve function, they must first find areas of tension, restriction, and limited mobility. By thoroughly examining the entire body with their hands (using the Wurn Technique ®), they find these areas.

It is only when these three keys are employed that the Wurn Technique ® can be successful. Visit our website to learn more about our treatment philosophy or why adhesions are the basis of the Wurn Technique ®.

In an upcoming book, ‘Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain,’ researchers examine a non-surgical therapy to treat adhesion and endometriosis pain.

Gainesville, FL  (PRWEB ) November 19, 2008 – Endometriosis is a painful and debilitating condition for millions of women and girls, robbing them of their quality of life. While the cause of endometriosis is unknown, some pioneering studies about a non-surgical treatment are now bringing hope for some women.

In an upcoming book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain, gynecologist Richard King, MD and a physical therapy team examine a manual physical therapy (Wurn Technique®) that has decreased or eliminated pain associated with endometriosis for many women.

The Wurn Technique® was originally created to treat the adhesions co-author and physical therapist Belinda Wurn developed after pelvic surgery and radiation therapy following a diagnosis of cervical cancer. “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 unrelenting.”

After the Wurn Technique resolved Belinda’s pain, she was able to return to work. She and her husband, massage therapist Larry Wurn began treating other conditions related to adhesions. They soon learned that adhesions and endometriosis pain were intimately related.

Adhesions associated with endometriosis can cause pain anywhere in the body (abdomen, pelvis, low back). Dysfunctions such as poor digestion, irritable bowel, and infertility may also result from the adhesions and endometriosis. “We believe that the pull of adhesions on pain-sensitive structures is what causes the severe, debilitating pain in many women with endometriosis,” said Larry Wurn. “In fact, adhesions are frequently found in and near sites of endometrial implants.”

Women with endometrial implants often report a great deal of pain, which may occur

• before and during menstruation (dysmenorrhea),
• with ovulation,
• with sex (dyspareunia),
• with urination, bowel movements, diarrhea, or constipation.

While physicians do not know the exact cause of endometriosis pain, they often recognize an intimate relationship between endometriosis and adhesions; when they find endometriosis, they often find adhesions nearby.

The Wurns have published several studies on the Wurn Technique in peer-reviewed medical journals. 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. Many had natural pregnancies after their tube(s) opened, and some have had second natural pregnancies – indicating that the results of therapy lasted for years in some women.

Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain will be published this winter. 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 in December at www.clearpassage.com.

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 — Finding the right infertility treatment is already difficult for many of the seven million US women and their partners diagnosed with infertility. Today’s tough economy can make that task even more challenging.

Treatment is not covered by insurance in most states, leaving many patients overwhelmed with the high costs of medical treatment, surgery, and fertility drugs. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) shows the average price of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is $12,400 per attempt. With a national IVF pregnancy rate of around 30%, several attempts may be required, increasing costs further.

“Several IVF clinics are starting to offer lower cost alternatives, such as a guarantee of success within three attempts or some refund,” said Richard King, MD, a co-author of the upcoming book, Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain. “Be sure to ask if the program reimburses for fertility medications, which can cost several thousand dollars per cycle.”

“Whether daunted by the high costs, health concerns about surgery or fertility drugs, or by religious beliefs, some couples turn to alternative therapies. “At least three alternative infertility treatments have been shown to improve fertility” according to infertility expert, physical therapist Belinda Wurn and co-author of Miracle Moms, Better Sex, Less Pain.

“Acupuncture, group therapy, and a manual physical therapy (Wurn Technique®) have published peer-reviewed studies showing increased pregnancy rates,” explained Dr. King. Acupuncture increased IVF pregnancy rates when performed 25 minutes before and after embryo transfer, according to a German study published in Fertility and Sterility (2002). Acupuncture sessions generally range from $60 to $100 per session.

In another F&S study (2000), group therapy increased fertility rates. Group therapy can be a real bargain, especially since many organizations and communities offer free sessions.

The Wurn Technique, a manual physical therapy, increased pregnancy rates for women seeking natural conception to 71%. It also increased clinical pregnancy rates for those using IVF to 67%, when used before embryo transfer, according to a study in Medscape General Medicine (2004). The women in the studies averaged five years of infertility before receiving the therapy.

“The Wurn Technique appeals to many women as an infertility treatment because it does not involve drugs or surgery,” Wurn said. “In addition, the treatment costs are significantly less than IVF.”

Wurn developed the therapy with her husband Larry Wurn to help cure her pelvic pain 20 years ago. Wurn states, “I am thrilled that we are now able to offer an affordable infertility treatment that is effective.” Studies and citations on the Wurn Technique® have been published in major medical journals including Fertility and Sterility, Medscape General Medicine, and Contemporary Ob/Gyn.
