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.

chronic-painIf you suffer from chronic pain, you may find that you are no longer able to do things you used to or are often feeling down or anxious. The good news is that there a number of life changes you can make in order to lessen the toll of chronic pain on your  physical and emotional wellbeing. WebMD’s article “11 Tips for Living with Chronic Pain” include:

  • Learning relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation
  • Exercising to boost endorphins, which are “brain chemicals that help improve your mood while also blocking pain signals”
  • Taking part in activities you enjoy to keep you busy and distract you from the pain

While these steps will not fully eliminate pain, they can help make it more manageable. See the complete list of tips for living with chronic pain: http://www.webmd.com/pain-management/11-tips-for-living-with-chronic-pain

Meet Your Therapists, Amy Robinson, PT

Amy Robinson is the Clinic Director of the Clear Passage Physical Therapy clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Why do you love your job?

I love to help people. I love when people come in and they are in pain and after undergoing treatment, as long as someone listens to them, they can get better.

What is your experience as a physical therapy?

I have been a therapist for 16 years. I graduated from Indiana University in Indianapolis, Indiana. I worked in every setting from a hospital setting to long term care. Eventually I worked in an outpatient setting and I have been working as a women’s and men’s health physical therapist for the past ten years

What inspired you to become a therapist?

I was inspired to become a physical therapist after growing up and watching my grandfather go through physical therapy after suffering multiple strokes. I myself had some injuries. I was in track in high school, and had to attend physical therapy.

How would you describe the treatment at Clear Passage Physical Therapy?

The patient and I are definitely a team it is a team approach. From the point the patient fills out the initial intake paper work to the critical first evaluation, the patient really takes the lead in the evaluation and the treatment. They understand what they are feeling, and as a therapist, if I listen to the patient they guide me to where I need to treat, which in the end helps them get better faster.

I feel like it is a huge downfall in the health care industry today in that practitioners are not given enough time to adequately listen and then treat their patients. The time is not a factor at Clear Passage Physical Therapy. Because we are allowed to listen to the patient as long as we need to and fully evaluate the patient and treat them. Once we put our hands on the patient along with what the patient has already verbally told us, it allows us to go in and treat the areas that have often been pain generator for many years. I often hear patients say, “This was the pain I have been telling my doctor about for the last ten years but no one could seem to find it and you found it, and I feel so relieved it’s not in my head.”

Why are you excited to be a therapist at Clear Passage?

I am very excited about the opportunity to start working with patients who are suffering with infertility issues. I myself have had issues with infertility for multiple years, and it has really drawn me to work with women and their significant others in order to allow them to have the family that they desire to have

What does Indianapolis have to offer?

You should come to the Indianapolis clinic because it is very easily accessible by air or by the interstate systems. Indiana is known as the crossroads of America. It is also very affordable and very easy to get around Indianapolis.

What is your clinic like?

With patients who have been suffering from chronic pain for many many years, they sometimes just need  a private and comfortable place to allow for healing to occur. At Clear Passage Indiana, our clinic is set up to allow for that comfortable environment. If you listen to the patient the patient can direct you where to treat and they can get better.

A “Hands-On” Physical Therapy Replaces Infertility Surgery

December 1, 2011 Clear Passage Physical Therapy 3 comments

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.
