3 Ways to Treat Yourself this Holiday
“A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings”
-Hippocrates
The holidays are a time for giving to others, but it is important to remember to treat yourself. It is easy to neglect your health during this hectic time and some may consider it selfish to spend the time and effort focusing on your mind, body and spirit. However, being at a healthy state not only benefits yourself, but those you are surrounded by during this joyful time. Taking care of your physical health can positively affect your mental and emotional health. Incorporating these healthy habits into each day this holiday season will help you stay healthy, active and happy.
1. Maintain a Clean, Healthy Diet. Remember: Food is A Natural Healer
Maintaining a balanced nutrition is important for your body. The main causes of adhesion formation are trauma, surgery, infection and inflammation.If you are prone to inflammation, you may want to add these anti-inflammatory foods to your diet.
Fats and Oils. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cold-water oily fish, flax seeds, canola oil and pumpkin seeds.
Fruits and Vegetables. Whole fruits, berries and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and phytohemicals. Choose green and brightly colored vegetables, and whole fruits.
Protein. Possible anti-inflammatory protein sources include lean poultry, fish and seafood
Fluids. Drink tap, sparkling or bottled water, 100% fruit juice, herbal tea, low-sodium vegetable juice and low- or non-fat milk.
2. Stay Active
Find a Friend. There is power in numbers. Having a friend or loved one to join you during physical activities makes it less of a chore and more a social opportunity.
Try something fun. The word exercise is often met with sighs and groaning, but being active doesn’t have to be a chore. Choose an activity that you enjoy doing. Take a bike ride, go for a swim, or learn to play tennis. Find an activity that you enjoy. You’re much more likely to stick with it if you are enjoying yourself in the process.
Add some variety. If you are not one who enjoys routine, you may want to mix up your activity schedule.
3. Prioritize Your Happiness
Remember that in order to bring joy to others, you yourself must be happy. Make it a priority everyday to do one thing you truly enjoy doing, whether it finding time to attend a yoga class or reading a couple chapters from your favorite book.

Clear Passage Helped This Couple
Following a positive diagnosis of a hydrosalpinx by HSG, this couple traveled to Clear Passage’s National Headquarters in Gainesville, Florida in search of a less invasive treatment for their infertility. Watch their story in the clip above to hear how they eventually overcame their infertility struggles.
What Exactly is A Hydrosalpinx?
A hydrosalpinx is a collection of watery fluid within the fallopian tube, usually as a result of damage at the distal (far) end of the tube, near the ovary. It not only renders the affected tube(s) totally ineffective, it may also lessen the effectiveness of various infertility treatments (e.g. in vitro fertilization [IVF]).
Diagnosis can be made by ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), laparoscopy or laparotomy (open surgery). Many couples face infertility following the diagnosis of a hydrosalpinx.
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.
