I came here in May of 2020 after being diagnosed with scar tissue in my Fallopian tubes, causing infertility. We had been trying for 13 months to conceive, with no success. My HSG showed total blockage on both tubes. I was told IVF was my only chance at having a baby. I came here in May of 2021 and just tried to be open and receptive to the experience. I didn't really expect them to be able to clear my scar tissue, but I was hopeful. I felt very cared for by my therapists and enjoyed going to the clinic. Keep in mind this is not a relaxing Swedish massage though, there will be a little pain and discomfort as they work on your adhesions. I left Gainesville on May 6th and on June 20th I found out I was pregnant I am currently 25 weeks along and baby is doing great. I am extraordinarily grateful for this clinic and my therapists for restoring my fertility. read more

Clear Passage - Physical Therapy Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

My husband had his first small bowel obstruction in June of 2022 and it was a harrowing experience for him, necessitating surgery to unblock it. When we left the hospital I searched online to find ANY options for prevention of this again in the future, and I was thrilled to find the Clear Passage online site which we both devoured in the days following his surgery. We decided to invest in our mental and physical well-being by taking money out of savings to go through the week-long physical therapy for him. Since it is a huge financial investment, we researched and chose one of Clear Passage's most experienced and committed physical therapists to work with, Sharon Hepburn, in St. Louis. We were NOT disappointed. We also learned that she is their Chief Operating Officer, and wow, were we grateful to have chosen her to work with. We had to wait to schedule the treatment for 3 months post-op and I just had my fingers crossed that we would make it to St. Louis before any recurrence of an obstruction. We did. We flew to St. Louis from California on a Sunday, settled into the comfortable hotel that they recommended, and then began therapy the next day. Sharon's office is located in a very nice suburb a short drive from the airport. There are gorgeous and spacious parks seemingly everywhere in this area and beautiful spacious estates. It was a lovely place to settle into for the week and we were fortunate to hit a week of gorgeous weather the last week of September. Between our daily sessions we had lovely picnics and walks in their parks. Sharon works with an excellent massage therapist, Maura Lee, and between the two of them we witnessed incredible shifts! I am a retired family therapist/psychotherapist and registered nurse, and I was enthralled and impressed to attend and witness each session. Sharon and Maura's deep knowledge and understanding of physiology, ability to tune into the body, adept capacity to work with emotions that arose in the treatment, and wisdom about what to do next was absolutely amazing and intriguing. The Clear Passage protocols are sequential and specific. We were both VERY impressed with the process and the results! My husband's belly is now soft and pliable. It was tight and lumpy when we arrived. A pain that he had in his lower back for many years is now resolved. He has specific self-exercises that he does daily and we both now know how to manage any recurrent obstructions should any recur, which I now strongly doubt will happen. We feel empowered and safe to travel should we choose to. We extend our very deep thanks and gratitude to Clear Passage for developing this protocol to bring health and freedom to us again, and we particularly thank the expertise and compassion of Sharon Hepburn and Maura Lee at the St. Louis Clear Passage office in St. Louis! read more

Clear Passage has changed my fiance's life. He was suffering from severe abdominal pain, episodes of vomiting, small bowel obstructions, and frequent hospitalizations. Countless doctors could not give us any answers as to a source of these problems. It wasn't until a specialist finally confirmed that he was plagued by abdominal adhesions, stemming from significant abdominal trauma and subsequent surgeries that left him with webs of scar tissue, that we changed our trajectory to look for other solutions. We found Clear Passage and their myofascial release techniques during Internet searches, and it sounded too good to be true. After his first phone consult, I saw my fiance have hope for his health again. We flew across the country and he underwent 20 hours of physical therapy treatment. I was so very impressed with Clear Passage's attention to every aspect of his health. The Physical Therapists work hard to make their clients (and their loved ones) feel welcome, comfortable, and understood. They educated us on abdominal adhesions, walked us through their treatment, and told us what to expect. Over the course of his treatment, I saw significant progress and he felt changes from the first day. Clear Passage taught us techniques to practice at home, and provided us with valuable education that we can use to further his progress. Words cannot express how thankful I am that this clinic exists. I highly recommend Clear Passage to anyone who suffers from abdominal adhesions. read more

I returned home about ten days ago from a week of Clear Passage treatments in Gainesville, Florida. It worked for me! I left home with a wheelchair assist to get there; when I returned, I walked off the plane on my own two feet.If you haven't already checked this place out (www.clearpassage.com), they have given me 85% improvement in one week and I am still in a kind of shock! Understand that I was there about ten years ago when doctors wanted to do their seventh surgery to my abdomen and pelvis "cutting out everything that adhesions could stick to or form on," they said. It was called a Whipple surgery. I opted for Clear Passage instead, and I have never looked back. I canceled that surgery and have not had another bowel or adhesion surgery since that week long ago. Clear Passage saved my life then, and they just did it again - 10 years later. This is the only thing that has ever truly helped me to get my life back. I feel for each of you with adhesions, and I send youblessings of relief from this horrible situation. Clear Passage treatments require no surgery and no drugs. For me, the results are: way less pain, no nausea, better range of motion, less restrictions, regular BM'S, able to eat solid food again, walk better, laugh or sneeze without pain - basically to get my life back! I did get sore from therapists working on and treating me daily but compared to the level of pain I was in that was off the charts, I can totally handle it! Plus, I am really detoxing each day and able to drink the water I need to flush out all the waste my body was holding onto. None of those horrible debilitating issues have returned! No more rubber band type of pulling me forward toward the ground! Gone are the stabbing pains taking my breath away whenever I moved...all gone! It's the closest I've ever experienced to a miracle after feeling like I was slowly dying. Also, I was sent home with a thorough home care program to stay on top of my adhesive disease. They teach you what to do for self care at home! This is a key to success with this treatment as we all know there is no cure so, staying on top of it is keyto living a full life. I can do that! I can keep a food diary to learn what foods trigger me. I can follow an anti-inflammatory diet. If it gets me back to living my life as full as possible, yes! All of what they know and their treatment is proven and documented. It's the only place I have found that tracks and publishes success for patients with abdominal and bowel adhesions - and it and has for many years. Money is an obstacle for many, I get that! I took a leap of faith and asked for help from others and was blessed with support from many who helped me. I send out blessings toall of you sufferers and wish each of us had access to this. Lord knows, we all deserve it! read more

The pros: this place does something almost no one does- treat adhesions non-surgically. They are very thorough in their pre-treatment evaluation. The cons: they are waaaay over-priced to the point of clearly taking advantage of people in extreme pain. They don't deal with insurance. Almost anyone you talk to will tell you their model of 20-40 hours of treatment in 1-2 weeks is too much for the body to handle. It certainly was for me. Also, they purposely write their notes vague so that no one locally to where you live will know what they did or how to help you moving forward. This place is all about the money. For some people it works. For me, 30 hours and many thousands of dollars gave me some relief - I could eat again- but not enough that I could work, walk much less exercise, or reduce my pain medication. read more

I have pelvic adhesions which I have had for decades, with multiple surgeries scattered throughout these decades to resolve these adhesions when they would wrap around my bowels and strangulate them. Surgeries are futile, because they facilitate and propagate adhesion formation and proliferation. Clear Passage saved me. I went for one week and it has been a game changer for me. The therapy they offer is top notch and has literally changed my life, for the best. Clear Passage therapists will teach you how to self care, to continue the work started there. Also, I received valuable info about nutrition and diet to also prohibit inflammation, one of the main culprits in my adhesion formation. This place is not a rip off or charlatans. I went in 12/2018. I'm still doing great. I receive nothing for this review. I just want others, male or female, to know that there is another way to get help. Namaste, always. read more

I had to travel back to Clear Passage again in October 2015 and once more my experience was amazing. I have been to Clear Passage twice now to receive treatment for abdominal adhesions and obstructions. The treatments themselves are very effective at breaking down restrictions, reliving certain pain and improving mobility for me, but it's really the people that make the difference. The entire staff- from phone greeters, to the owners, to the web master, to the administrative staff and more- each and every soul there is a caring and compassionate individual. From beginning to end they make their patients feel welcomed, comfortable and treated with dignity. I have struggled so significantly with adhesions, that I recently needed three consecutive weeks of therapy and in a humane offer to help us curb costs, staff members offered up their homes and even to cook meals for us to save money while in the area. This unprecedented display of caring and the deep level of involvement displayed with each patient they treat has really touched me, which is why I'm very pleased to say that we have formed a friendship and close bond to the organization and all of its people. We're currently looking at property in the area to better position ourselves for preventative therapy and see our friends more often! I can only suggest, that if you are considering Clear Passage for treatment, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Terrible experience!! Therapist care less when i told her, i cant bear with the pain during the therapy(tummy work). She, with her cold and lack of empathy face said "that is normal", went on with the same strength to "treat" me. I was so in pain but was ignored by the therapist. Next issue was, my ears nearly pulled off from my face by her in one of the session, with her super power strength. Many more unexpected reply/ words came from her e.g. "yeah, you will get abnormal baby", when i tried to get advise whether the tool needed to purchase, she answered "buy it if you are goin to use it, that's your money anyway..". She also laughed at me loudly when i said i took vitB12 in the evening. What was wrong with her?? And she told me "probiotic works the way antibiotic does, through blood stream.." Ahem, i know you know that was a false info. Another scene, I told her about the website, where i learned about clearpassage, LTYG, Jini Patel Thompson and her protocol she invented to help others with gut issues. My therapist unable to remember Jini's full name. So the therapist called her as "Jini Patel Whatever...". Even worst was she brought her mobile phone with her into the therapy room 2times during my 1week of treatment. There is a notice on the wall framed nicely telling people no cell phone area, to prevent disruption (others and ownself) during therapy. However, the staff, my "therapist" used it during my sessions! She, with one hand on my tummy and one busy retrieving the message. This is what they called PROFESSIONAL!! You know, in a different session phone beeping from her pocket, she quickly respond "whoops! This is my 2nd time my mobile phone is with me in the therapy room this week.." Unbelievably true! There were many more disrespectful actions by her that made me felt uncomfortable and I was very tense throughout the week eventhough there was another therapist rotated for the treatment. A few emails sent to the centre to share with them on my experience. They only felt sorry but unable to do anything. They arranged Kim to talk to me on 3rd Jan'17. Kim told me she wants to make things right, they treat everyone respectfully and make sure patients are well treated. What i have shared with them may be used for future improvement. I just begged her pardon, I, an ill person paid US$5400 to restore my health not for their improvisation. Kim told me to drop her an email if i would like to get further assistance from them like refund or set another row of treatment to fix my rectal issue in the UK if i wish to move forward. So i sent her an email the same day after the call ended. No news after 2weeks, I sent a follow up email. Still not replied. I follow up again the 3rd week and at last Kim was replying: " I'm currently working on a response and will get back with you by the end of the week". And the week has gone, clearpassage still in silent mode. My email already more than 4weeks old now and yet no action taken. Honestly speaking, i should have think twice even the first time when the director, Belinda, contacted me for free consultation. At the scheduled date and time She called me, telling me she hasn't received  my medical records and requested me to send them to her. I told her i have sent to her staff few days back. She told me she was working from home that day and didnt see Lisa. So i resent all the records to her. After the consultation, i wanted to chat with the director on how they treat  *****/rectal stricture, but my email was not responded. Why i still proceed with the treatment? Well, I signed up the 1week treatment was due to Lisa that confidently talked to me the therapist will fix all adhesion and stricture or scar tissues in the body. With the pretreatment form filled properly hoping to have 2 health issues to be treated in the 20hrs treatment, however the therapist spent 2sessions (2hrs) only for one of the area/health issue, the rectal.  They should provide appropriate advise before luring patient to engage with their treatment.

This is long overdue, but with that being said.. I had adhesions from 2 c-sections I had done 13 yrs ago. I stopped doing the things I liked to do like play catch with my kids or badminton, walking up hills(I live in the hill country;) They helped me in ways I can't begin to explain. The therapist first off were very friendly and helpful and answered any questions and even told me about stuff I had no clue what was happening in my body. It all started to make since. They gave me tools to work on myself and taught me how which I have to say has helped a lot when I start to feel any pain it releases it and also now do certain stretches for my body. I was very stiff from not being able to do things because when I would it would cause me pain and adhesions would pull on other organs in my body , so I stopped doing them. I do believe they broke up a lot of my adhesions. I do not take pain meds now rarely. When I came back home I didn't think it worked but don't let that discourage you if you go, your body goes through intense treatment and its reacting. I read a review about it being expensive but there is no one else I know out there who is doing what their doing. It's deff worth the money then going to have surgery. Also they taught me a lot about my diet I didn't realize was affecting my body. These women have truly been a gift from God. Thank yall for your commitment to helping people like me. read more

Spent a week and a lot of money last summer going to the Clear Passage facility in Westchester County, New York. The therapist was very knowledgable and thorough. I was really hoping to avoid a surgical procedure to get rid of the adhesions that were causing a partial bowel obstruction and serious vomiting attacks for roughly 9 years. Clear Passage boasted how they were very successful with bowel obstructions caused by adhesions so I was very anxious to give it a try. After my treatment I went about 5 months and then the vomiting episodes began again. I couldn't take the pain anymore so I wound up going to Dr. Beth Schrope at Columbia Presbyterian for surgery. I have been doing well since. I am writing to inform those suffering from bowel obstructions that Clear Passage is expensive and may not work. They had put me in touch with someone else with the same medical background as myself and she wound up having surgery as well. My insurance company did not cover the cost. Please think about surgical options before spending a ton of money and getting your hopes up that this will work... read more

AMAZING. I was skeptical but desperate at finding a solution to the pain I was experiencing since I delivered our daughter 8 years ago... I'd been prescribed numbing creams by my physicians and OBGYNs but other then that the conversation was pretty short making me think this was it and the way things would be moving forward...Pain or no feeling at all. After some extended online research my husband and I stumbled onto Clear Passage's information and we thought this might be a therapy that could help me! The pre-therapy consultations with Ginny gave me hope and confidence in the process and we decided to give it a try and I or I should say we couldn't be happier! Both of my therapists Kristen and Sandi were above and beyond caring, knowledgable and blew me away with their touch and expertise. I could feel my body (tissues) change from under their fingers... My week of therapy was very intense, emotional and healing. The pain that I was experiencing for 8 years now and thought would be a part of my life forever, was gone. Is gone. I can not thank Clear Passage enough and I will never forget Kristen and Sandi... (Thank you:) read more

Clear Passage has changed my life! I was skeptical, but I checked it out with my oncologist and physical therapist and both thought it was a good idea, so I went. It's pricey (you could take a luxury cruise) and insurance doesn't cover it, but what they do is miraculous. I had an abdominal blockage in 2011. The most excruciatingly painful experience ever. In 2013, cancer recurred in the colon and the OR nurse said that I was so full of scar tissue that it was pushing my organs up to my throat. Every doctor I have ever talked to said "if you are prone to scar tissue, you will experience a blockage every couple of years. I lived my life under the sword of Damocles never knowing when I was going to change from being happy as a clam to entering jail. I was constantly looking for something to get rid of the adhesions before they blocked me again. You cannot live a normal life knowing that at any minute it could happen. Finally, last year, clear passage came up in my search. They clearly need to add something to their online profile because I had been searching for 3 1/2 years and never saw them. Anyway, what they do is almost miraculous. They pulverize the adhesions by massage and pressure. They work internally also (vaginally and anally). It hurts and you're exhausted after, but oh, so worth it. The only way to ever prove what they did works is to never get another abdominal blockage, but I'm 99.9% sure they did get rid of them. I was out of pain for the first time in 4 years, I was more energetic, I moved better, I felt lighter and I actually lost weight without doing a thing. You have to do exercises the rest of your life (rolling on hard balls, stretches, etc.) but I'll do anything to keep from having another abdominal blockage. I can't say enough good things about this technique. I am also willing to talk to anyone about this treatment because I want people to know about it and not have to live in fear as I did and not know how to do something to prevent another blockage. You can get my email from clear passage. Nanci read more

Clear Passages Physical Therapy is a a gift from God! They are an incredible, kind, and professional staff of caring people. My son Cole had a diaphragmatic hernia repair at the age of 11 months. Both of his lungs collapsed during surgery and he was given a 20% chance of survival. He had a miraculous recovery. We didn't know that our faith would be challenged again 25 years later. You see, we didn't know that for the next 25 years, there were many adhesions forming in his abdomen. At the age of 24, he was diagnosed with a small bowel obstruction, as the adhesions had strangulated his intestine. We prayed and asked God for His healing, and the scar tissue released enough that he did not need emergency surgery. His Doctor told him, it was just a matter of time, until it would happen again, and he would need surgery (which creates more adhesions). I began searching for alternative therapies on line, and found Clear Passages. I called and asked questions, and watched the videos made by other patients. I knew in my heart that this was what Cole needed.The cost was an issue for us, as I had a job change, and we were without insurance, so we prayed. A few months later, I received an e-mail from Clear Passages, with an invitation to enter a drawing for free treatment. I entered Cole's name. A couple weeks later, Cole sent me a text saying he was the grand prize winner of $5200.00 worth of treatment! We were overwhelmed with gratitude (I think I wept for a couple days). Treatment was scheduled to start December 31, 2012. What a great way to begin the new year! The moment we walked in the door, we were treated with kindness and respect. I was humbled again, when offered a complementary copy of the Wurn's book , which I read during Cole's treatments. Cole received 4 hours of treatment each day for 5 days. After the first couple treatments, Cole said that he didn't realize he couldn't stand up straight before. As the treatments progressed, he could feel things changing and moving, with more freedom of movement. The very intelligent and capable staff at Clear Passages gave Cole instructions for self care, including stretches, dietary suggestions, and compression techniques. Clear Passages should be the first step in treatment for anyone with unresolved adhesions. Thank you Clear Passages, for choosing to do this pioneering and necessary work! Jeanette Keyso read more
