Understanding Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and How Clear Passage Physical Therapy Can Help

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition characterized by an abnormal increase in the number of bacteria in the small intestine. This overgrowth can cause various uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malnutrition. The presence of excess bacteria disrupts normal digestion and absorption, leading to significant discomfort and health issues. At Clear Passage Physical Therapy, we offer a unique and effective approach to addressing SIBO through our specialized, non-surgical treatments.

Our Approach to Treating SIBO

Clear Passage Physical Therapy utilizes the Wurn Technique®, a hands-on therapy method focused on reducing adhesions and internal scarring in the abdomen. These adhesions can contribute to SIBO by impairing intestinal motility and creating an environment conducive to bacterial overgrowth. Our therapy aims to:

•Reduce Abdominal Adhesions: Adhesions can restrict the normal movement of the intestines, leading to poor motility and bacterial overgrowth. Our manual therapy helps to soften and release these internal scars, promoting better intestinal function.

•Improve Digestive Function: By addressing adhesions, our therapy can enhance digestive processes, reduce symptoms such as bloating and gas, and improve overall gut health.

•Support Nutrient Absorption: Proper intestinal function is crucial for nutrient absorption. Our treatment helps restore normal intestinal function, aiding in better nutrient absorption and overall health.

•Enhance Quality of Life: Our holistic approach aims to provide long-term relief from SIBO symptoms, improving your overall quality of life and well-being.

What to Expect from Treatment

When you choose Clear Passage Physical Therapy for managing SIBO, you can expect a comprehensive and personalized treatment experience:

•Thorough Assessment: Our experienced therapists will conduct a detailed evaluation to understand your specific symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.

•Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, we will develop a tailored treatment plan that targets your unique needs and aims to reduce adhesions and improve digestive health.

•Hands-On Therapy Sessions: Our therapy sessions involve precise, hands-on techniques designed to release adhesions and enhance the mobility and function of your intestines.

•Ongoing Support and Monitoring: We provide continuous support and monitoring throughout your treatment to ensure progress and adapt the plan as needed for optimal results.
