Overcome the Pain from Physical or Sexual Abuse

Physical and sexual abuse can cause more than emotional scars. Abuse can cause very real physical scars from single or repeat traumas, suffered at an earlier time. Once the trauma has passed, glue-like adhesions can remain in the body for a lifetime, at the sites of tissue damage. Our physical therapy program (Wurn Technique®) can eliminate the physical pain associated with the sites of prior physical or sexual abuse. Clear Passage Physical Therapy^SM has over two decades of experience treating delicate areas at the sites of physical or sexual abuse, and eliminating the adhesions and pain – without surgery or drugs.

Medical science recognizes that physical and sexual abuse can create deep psychological scars on its victims. Sound counseling can help people come to grips with the confusing and conflicting emotions so often associated with abuse. Generally, the perpetrator was stronger, older, or otherwise overpowering – and may no longer be present as an object for venting unresolved feelings.

In addition to the emotional scarring, many victims also experience physical pain or dysfunction after the abuse. Palpable physical scars can exist deep within the body’s tissues for decades after abuse has ended. They can endure a lifetime, if left untreated. Our therapy helps locate, treat, and eliminate the physical pain and dysfunction associated with the abuse.

Internal and external scars form within and on the body as a response to the physical traumas of abuse. They can cause longstanding pain, tightness, or dysfunction, and may create a physical space that houses the psychological trauma, as well.

Trauma causes adhesions and scars to occur as a natural part of the healing process. In some instances, our patients have experienced that trauma as a direct force, such as being struck or subjected to one or more forced sexual or physical encounters. In other instances, the trauma may manifest more slowly. For example, when a person enlists a protective mechanism that must always be ‘on guard’ against a recurrent perpetrator, the ongoing muscle spasm can cause physical adhesions to occur slowly over time (as naturally as they do from a direct strike). Thus in a very real sense, trauma creates internal adhesive straight-jackets that can immobilize body tissues – whether from a single devastating incident or from a series of traumatic events.

We understand the deep scarring that occurs from physical and sexual abuse and have successfully treated many severe cases. We treat the scars and adhesions that form within our patients, as a result of the abuse. Like tiny but very strong straight-jackets with a tensile strength of nearly 2,000 pounds per square inch, adhesions form wherever the body heals, binding down tissues that in their natural state should be able to move freely.

When we are able to physically free these adhesive straight-jackets using our manual therapy, our patients experience a dramatic reduction or resolution of their symptoms. Their bodies become much more mobile and pain-free. Many of our patients have found that the process of freeing these internal physical bonds also opens the door to help heal the psyche and spirit, paving the way for greater resolution of their issues, so they can move on less hindered by the shadows of the past.

We are sensitive to your need for a ‘safe place’ where you are nurtured and allowed to heal at your own pace. We are glad to consult and work with your counselor before, during, or after therapy. All of our work is done by sensitive, caring manual therapists in private treatment rooms.
