What is Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM)?
Restorative Reproductive Medicine, or RRM, is a type of care that helps people improve their fertility by finding and fixing the underlying issues that might be making it hard to conceive or causing pregnancy loss. Instead of going straight to treatments like IVF, RRM works with your body’s natural cycles to restore normal reproductive health.
How Does RRM Work?
- Finding the root cause: RRM doctors look for the reasons why your body isn’t conceiving naturally. This could include hormonal imbalances, ovulation problems, endometriosis, scar tissue, or other reproductive conditions.
- Tracking your cycle: Careful monitoring of your cycle helps doctors see exactly what’s happening at the right times to improve your chances of pregnancy.
- Targeted treatments: Depending on what’s found, treatments may include medications, minimally invasive surgery, lifestyle changes, nutrition support, or supplements to help your body work the way it’s supposed to.
- Supporting overall health: RRM focuses not just on fertility but on your whole reproductive and hormonal health.
Why Choose RRM?
- It addresses the underlying problems rather than just working around them.
- It increases the chances of natural conception.
- It can reduce the need for repeated or invasive fertility procedures.
- It focuses on long-term reproductive health, not just getting pregnant once.
In short, RRM helps your body get back on track so conception can happen naturally. It’s about healing, restoring, and supporting your reproductive system for the best chance of a healthy pregnancy.
Clear Passage® Therapies is considered part of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) because it works to restore normal reproductive function rather than bypassing reproductive problems with technologies like IVF. Here’s why it fits under RRM:
1. Focus on the Root Cause
Clear Passage® specializes in breaking down adhesions and scar tissue in the reproductive system. These adhesions can form after surgery, infections, or inflammation and may block the fallopian tubes, restrict uterine movement, or cause pain. By treating the underlying physical issues, Clear Passage® addresses one of the root causes of infertility and pelvic pain.
2. Non-invasive, body-focused treatment
Clear Passage® uses hands-on, manual therapy techniques to gently stretch and break down adhesions. This aligns with RRM’s approach of working with the body’s natural function rather than immediately turning to artificial reproductive technologies.
3. Restoring reproductive function naturally
By improving tissue mobility, reducing scar-related obstructions, and enhancing blood flow, Clear Passage® helps the reproductive organs function more normally. This can increase the chance of natural conception and reduce the need for invasive procedures.
4. Personalized, cycle-aware care
Like other RRM approaches, Clear Passage® considers each patient’s unique reproductive history and health, tailoring therapy to optimize the body’s natural ability to conceive.
Clear Passage® IS considered RRM because it heals and restores reproductive anatomy and function, addresses root causes of infertility, and supports natural conception—matching the core philosophy of Restorative Reproductive Medicine.
