Infertility Research Study

What is the study?

The study is being done by a physical therapist.  It uses gentle hands on techniques (over the abdomen) to mobilize scar tissue, tight connective tissue in the pelvis, and drain lymph nodes.  The theory is that tight connective tissue (which surrounds and supports the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries) can be a cause of infertility in some women because it can alter the position of the uterus, compress blood vessels and alter hormone production.  Congested lymph nodes can also contribute to the problem by not allowing waste products to be removed from the tissues.  In cases which scar tissue (from previous infections, trauma, surgery or endometriosis) or congested lymph nodes could be contributing to the inability to conceive, a hands-on approach to treatment could help.

Who is eligible?

• Women ages 20-42

• Trying for 12 months to get pregnant

• Not currently undergoing infertility treatment

• Partner has been found to have acceptable sperm count

Treatments

Treatments are a gentle hands-on technique twice a week for one hour.  There is no charge for treatments.
