denver-clear-passage

Clear Passage has opened a clinic in Denver, CO.

Clear Passage Physical Therapy®, a national network of clinics providing a unique manual therapy for infertility, bowel obstruction and adhesion-related conditions, will open a location in Metropolitan Denver on May 14, 2012. The new clinic, Clear Passage’s fifth location, will enable more patients in the western U.S. to receive the Wurn Technique®, a pioneering non-surgical treatment. Featured in several major medical journals, the natural hands-on therapy has been found to be an effective adjunct to traditional care, and an alternative to major surgery.

“The Denver-area location will allow us to bring our therapy to more patients, helping them return to normal function and a pain-free life. A number of patients based in the western part of the country will now have a shorter distance to travel to their nearest Clear Passage clinic,” said National Director of Services, Belinda Wurn, PT. With demand for Clear Passage’s unique therapy on the rise, the pre-opening waiting list for the new clinic continues to grow.

Bringing 12 years of physical therapy experience to the Clear Passage family, Michele Forsberg, PT will lead the Denver clinic. She will provide the Wurn Technique® to those suffering from infertility, chronic pain, small bowel obstruction and other conditions previously seen as treatable only with surgery or drugs. “We have such a broad reach,” Forsberg said. “We are helping give hope to infertile women and are saving lives for people with debilitating, painful, even life-threatening conditions like bowel obstruction.”

Featured in numerous medical journals, the Wurn Technique® is a protocol of more than 200 manual techniques to decrease adhesions – internal scars that form whenever and wherever the body heals. Some conditions caused by adhesions, such as bowel obstruction, are life-threatening. In addition to rehabilitating patients, Michele will play a role in Clear Passage’s ongoing research of non-surgical treatments for these conditions.

The Research Director of Clear Passage Physical Therapy will share his breakthrough therapy, the Wurn Technique®, with women and experts in the field of endometriosis at an international conference.

Endometriosis and adhesions can cause pain and infertility.

Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) March 1, 2012– Larry Wurn, Co-developer of the Wurn Technique®, will join several medical professions in the fields of Physiology, Health Psychology, Nutrition, and Innovative Therapies at the 2012 Endometriosis Symposium. Wurn, who developed the technique with his wife, Belinda Wurn, PT, will share his journey leading up to development of this drug free, non-surgical therapy and the positive effects it has on his patients.

“More than 176 million women world-wide suffer from endometriosis. Many are uninformed about how to overcome their pain,” said Larry Wurn, Director of Clinical Research at Clear Passage, a network of physical therapy clinics in various US cities. “Our studies are helping to spread the word about effective natural options for endometriosis sufferers to help relieve their pain and improve their fertility,” he said.

Clear Passage Physical Therapy has over 20 years of experience treating patients with endometriosis using the patent-pending technique. Wurn will highlight some remarkable successes at the conference, held in Toronto, Canada on March 10th.  The Wurn Technique® is considered a unique hands-on therapy. Studies noting its ability to decrease pelvic and intercourse pain in women with endometriosis have been published in major medical journals. Other published studies cite its effectiveness improving fertility and sexual function. Accordingly, the work provided by Wurn and his team of physical therapists is considered unmistakable, by many in the field.

“We are pleased that we have been able to provide relief to people who suffer from debilitating conditions with our therapy. We are excited to be given the opportunity to join in the crusade of spreading the awareness of the devastating effects of endometriosis, by speaking at this educational venue, and offering this new therapy,” he said.

Clear Passage Physical Therapy Opens a New Clinic

A natural “hands-on” treatment to treat infertility, pain and recurring bowel obstruction is now available in Indianapolis, Indiana. Clear Passage Physical Therapy introduced their newest physical therapist-director Amy Robinson, as a certified practitioner in November, 2011.

Clear Passage Physical Therapy, which provides a unique hands-on treatment to patients from around the world, opened a new clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana in November, 2011. With research published in major medical journals, the group will expand its patent-pending hands-on therapy for infertility, pain and bowel obstruction to the Mid-West region.

“This location will allow patients from the northern and central US many options for travel, with several major airports in the area,” said Belinda Wurn, PT, and National Director for the group. “This location will join a network of Clear Passage clinics in Florida, Washington DC, and California.”

The Indianapolis Clinic Director, Amy Robinson, PT, has over 16 years experience as a physical therapist. She has extensive training and knowledge in treating adhesions, pelvic floor dysfunction, and chronic pain. In her role at Clear Passage Physical Therapy, Amy will treat similar conditions, adding post-surgical pain, and female infertility.

She will also treat small bowel obstructions – a life-threatening condition that heretofore has only been treated by surgery. “This is an important advance,” said Robinson, “I have worked with wonderful surgeons – and most recognize that abdominal surgery puts their patients at risk for repeat obstructions.” Her certification and expertise will create a seamless merger with the pioneering work of the Wurns in their continuing efforts to provide therapy and research in previously uncharted areas of non-surgical therapy.

A “Hands-On” Physical Therapy Replaces Infertility Surgery

A manual physical therapy protocol (Wurn Technique®) continues to show good results for

Physical therapist Belinda Wurn studies before and after x-rays of a patient who came to a Clear Passage clinic after being diagnosed by her physician with two severely blocked fallopian tubes.

women diagnosed infertile due to adhesions or blocked fallopian tubes,according to authors of a recent study. The therapy, considered innovative because it requires neither surgery nor drugs, focuses on decreasing the scars and adhesions that contribute to female infertility, and block fallopian tubes.

“Three years after publication of our original studies, the therapy continues to produce good results. Women diagnosed infertile are able to conceive naturally, without the physical risks and financial stress associated with fertility drugs and surgeries,” said study author, physical therapist Belinda Wurn. “Physicians are paying more attention after the work received coverage in some major medical journals,” she said.

In the initial study, the patent-pending therapy (Wurn Technique®) opened fallopian tubes in most of the women with totally blocked tubes, and most of those became pregnant naturally. A scientific examination of the therapy, performed at Clear Passage Physical Therapy® clinics, was published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, and reviewed in Contemporary Ob/Gyn. Theauthors hope to begin a larger, controlled study later this year.

Previous studies and citations on the therapy note its effectiveness in related areas, including significant decreases in pelvic pain associated with endometriosis, menstruation, and intercourse. For more information, visit http://www.clearpassage.com.
