Chapter Fourteen: Early Abuse, Surgery or Trauma
Prior Sexual Abuse - Kelly’s Story
I went to Clear Passage Therapies (CPT) for help with problems caused by sexual abuse which had occurred almost twenty years ago. I had a feeling that the therapy would help me resolve the pain and inflexibility in my vaginal area which had resulted in sexual dysfunction.
My manual physical therapist did a terrific job, the therapy worked beautifully, and I have had no pain since the treatment.
What I did not realize was that there were many other problems that would also be resolved — tight hips, chronic constipation, and pain and stiffness in my hands, shoulders, and neck. Somehow, all of the problems were interrelated. In the months following therapy, I discovered I had an entirely new body, which was flexible, strong, and ready to get back to work! I now run regularly, enjoy going to the gym, and I’ve lost about ten pounds through my healthier lifestyle.
Finally, and most mysteriously, I notice I’m less stressed-out these days. In the past, even when everything was OK in my life, I was always a little nervous. I had trouble sitting quietly, just doing nothing. The tension disappeared immediately after treatment and hasn’t returned. Perhaps it was my body trying to tell me something was wrong. In any case, I’ve become a calmer and happier person.
