Summary

This study will examine the impact of manual physical therapy on endocrine function in women diagnosed as being infertile due to elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels (10 mIU/mL or higher) on days 2-5 of their menstrual cycle. It is hypothesized that the manual physical therapy will decrease FSH levels.

Detailed description

This study will investigate the effect of manual physical therapy on the endocrine levels of women by comparison of pre- and post- treatment hormone levels (FSH, LH and Estradiol). Secondary measures include assessment of pain and sexual function via questionnaires. Hormones will be measured at prescribed time points: * baseline: 30-60 days before treatment * pre-treatment: 7-30 days before treatment * post treatment 1: 10-30 days post treatment * post treatment 2: 30-60 days post treatment Pain and sexual function questionnaires will be completed: * baseline: 30-60 days before treatment * pre-treatment: 7-30 days before treatment * post treatment 1: 30 days post treatment * post treatment 2: 60 days post treatment
