VIDEO: Opening Blocked Fallopian Tubes – Naturally

August 31, 2011 Clear Passage Physical Therapy 3 comments

I had adhesions along my fallopian tubes, and one of my tubes was partially blocked. When I found out I was pregnant, we were just thrilled.



We did a total of four in vitro fertilizations which all failed. No pregnancies with any of them. So by that time we were really at our wit’s end and we were considering adoption. And then a friend of mine had told me about Clear Passage Therapies.

When I came to Clear Passage, I just felt like a warm welcome. At the time I was emotionally exhausted by the whole thing of trying to have a baby.

Even when I had my free consultation, the physical therapist that evaluated me was very compassionate, almost understood what I’d already been through. I think I really got individual care here. I felt like even just the atmosphere in each of the rooms was very calming. It was relaxing and I feel like my body got something out of it besides a pregnancy.

I had adhesions along my fallopian tubes, and one of my tubes was partially blocked. Again, I felt like it was some kind of overall overhaul going on in my body. So I felt like it was very much a positive thing.

When I found out I was pregnant, it kind of just came up and we were just thrilled.

One of the things also about when I was here getting my therapy sessions, I really felt like the people were some of the best health professionals that I’d ever met. Being a health professional myself, I meet physicians and nurses every day, and just the compassion here and the professionalism is excellent.

I would definitely recommend Clear Passage whether its women who’ve gone through infertility the standard way with medicine or procedures, or those that are just looking for an alternative measure and don’t want to go through all the infertility procedures.

Belinda Wurn

What is your name?
Belinda Wurn

How long have you been a physical therapist (or PTA/LMT)?
36 years

How long have you been practicing the Wurn Technique?
22 years

How did you first become interested in this work?
I was trying to figure out how to get myself out of the chronic pain I was experiencing after 40 external radiation treatments and 2 internal radium implants for cervical cancer in 1984.

Where did you grow up?
Jacksonville, Florida. I lived in the Arlington area, and went to the beach (30 minutes away) every free minute I had!

What’s your favorite food?
Seared fois gras or else good pizza

Where did you receive your education?
The University of Florida (go Gators!)

What is your philosophy on continuing education?
From 1988 until 1999, I took 4 to 6 courses a year. There was so much knowledge out there about different myofascial and visceral manipulation techniques, I wanted to learn it all. I think continuing education is extremely valuable. The techniques I use now are not ones I learned in PT school. You get the basics there, but in order to develop your work into an art- it is vital to keep up with the latest techniques that are developed over time.

Where is your favorite place to go on vacation?
France and Italy, Africa on safari

What is your favorite part about treating patients?
Hearing from them at the end of the week and seeing on their faces that they feel so much better, and I have helped give them back their active lifestyle.

What one word describes you best?
Caring

What drives you every day?
Helping to relieve my patient’s pain. Coming home to the lake and playing with my 2 beautiful Golden Retrievers!

Meet the Therapists – Larry Wurn, LMT

August 26, 2011 Clear Passage Physical Therapy 4 comments

What is your name?
Larry Wurn

How long have you been a therapist?
Since 1989, so 22 years

Larry with his beautiful bride, Belinda on their wedding day.

How long have you been practicing the Wurn Technique?
My wife Belinda and I began developing it in 1989. We then incorporated Clear Passage in 1995.

How did you first become interested in this work?
It began when my wife developed debilitating adhesions, after surgery and massive doses of radiation therapy.

Where did you grow up?
Jacksonville, Florida, then moved to San Francisco in 1969. I became Guest Curator at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in 1972, coordinating large, multi-museum shows throughout the San Fransisco Bay area for the next three years.

What’s your favorite food?
I love Indian and Thai food, and anything with lots of garlic!

Where did you receive your education?
University of North Carolina, then transferred to San Francisco State University during a very exciting time in the early 70’s. That was when our campus became a center of protest of the Viet Nam War. I can still remember police on horseback herding students into or away from certain buildings – while I was just trying to get to class.

What is your philosophy on continuing education?
Continuing education is vitally important. You never stop learning. I learn every day from study, from my co-workers, and from my patients.

What conditions do you have experience treating?
My main focus centers around the adhesions that form wherever the body heals. I have extensive experience treating chronic pain, bowel obstruction, female infertility, endometriosis, intercourse and menstrual pain, TMJ, chronic head and neck pain, low back and post-surgical pain.

Where is your favorite place to go on vacation?
Anywhere exotic – where there is no fax machine, phone service or Internet! My favorite is being “away from it all.” For that reason, I love to scuba dive – to just be one of the fish!

What is your favorite part about treating patients?
I love giving people back their lives, and helping make their dreams come true.

What do you hear patients say most often after receiving treatment?
“I don’t want to leave; I wish I lived here.”

What one word describes you best?
Inspired.

What drives you every day?
There are people suffering with physical needs that have found no relief, or whose conditions have worsened, using traditional medicine – drugs or surgery. Some have debilitating pain, some have life-threatening conditions; many have been told “there is nothing that can be done for you” or “it’s all in your head” when it is clear to us that they have very real, tangible problems. In most cases, these are conditions that we can reverse.

I love it that we are so often able to give people back pain-free lives and hope using a non-invasive therapy that is based on compassion, and grounded in science.

I love it that to be successful, we must deeply listen to our patients, ask them what they are feeling, and even what they feel needs to happen in their bodies for them to reach their goals. Thus, we empower each patient to help create and direct her/his own cure. Working together with patients to achieve a great result is exciting, powerful and humbling. I am truly blessed to be able to work with people in need, and to help them find a new life, and achieve their goals.

Clear Passage: A Different Kind of Healthcare Clinic

August 23, 2011 Clear Passage Physical Therapy 2 comments

Clear Passage is very different from many healthcare clinics. Our goal is to put our patients first, to treat them with care and respect, and to help them reach their health goals.

So what’s makes Clear Passage different?

  1. We Learn – We take the time to review and understand your entire medical history. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan based on your needs and goals.

    2.  

  2. We Listen – We offer free consultations for you to discuss your condition with a therapist who is familiar with your medical history and can offer insight as to how therapy may benefit you.

    3.  

  3. We Value – We want you to be a part of the therapy team that is treating you. We value your feedback, thoughts, and feelings throughout each one-on-one therapy session. We will constantly ask you how you are feeling and what changes you are noticing throughout the week to ensure that you are comfortable.

    4.  

  4. We Care – We provide each patient with a private therapy room throughout their week of treatment. This allows patients to relax in a beautifully decorated room during and between treatment sessions.

    5.  

  5. We Treat – Our treatment program can be completed in just one week of intensive therapy. Patients often begin therapy on Monday and are finished by Friday afternoon. This allows our patients who travel from out of town to complete treatment without the need to return for follow-up visits. This week also allows you to escape from the distractions of home and work and focus on your health and healing.

If you would like to receive a free consultation with a Clear Passage therapist, simply fill out our online medical history form. After we have reviewed your submitted form, we will contact you to set up your free phone consultation with a therapist.
