Who we help

Understanding hidden struggles

ClearBody is designed for individuals who are often overlooked by conventional healthcare—those who may appear healthy on the surface but are silently struggling with stress, chronic pain, or unresolved health issues. In today’s fast-paced world, many people are caught in a cycle of quick fixes that address symptoms but leave the root causes untreated. This approach can lead to persistent problems and a diminished quality of life. ClearBody can help busy and overwhelmed professionals, individuals with chronic conditions, and anyone who feels that traditional methods haven’t fully addressed their needs. Understanding and treating the interconnectedness of the body and mind is crucial because it’s often the missing piece in achieving true, lasting wellness.

 

At ClearBody, we understand that each person’s journey to wellness is unique. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from surgery, or simply feeling off-balance in your daily life, our method is designed to meet you where you are. The ClearBody approach integrates physical and mental health, helping you heal from the inside out. But how do you know if this is the right fit for you?

Below, we’ve outlined key categories to help you identify your own "pain index" and see if ClearBody’s personalized, holistic method can guide you toward better health.

 

Find your archetype:

  • Signs You Might Fit Here:

    • You often feel tense or overwhelmed.

    • Stress manifests physically, with tight shoulders, headaches, or jaw pain.

    • Sleep is irregular, and you wake up feeling unrefreshed.

    • You struggle to relax, even during downtime.

    How ClearBody Can Help → Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your body over time. Through nervous system regulation, mindfulness-based therapy, and integrative manual therapy, ClearBody helps calm your mind, release physical tension, and bring your body back into balance.

  • Signs You Might Fit Here:

    • You sit for long periods and experience stiffness, lower back pain, or repetitive strain injuries.

    • Your energy dips mid-day, leaving you mentally drained but physically restless.

    • Your posture has suffered, causing discomfort or pain by the end of the workday.

    • You often feel like your body is “out of sync” with your routine.

    How ClearBody Can Help → For those tied to a desk, ClearBody offers solutions to improve posture, reduce pain, and restore physical alignment. Our movement therapy and postural assessments help retrain your body to move correctly, while stress-reduction techniques target the underlying causes of burnout.

  • Signs You Might Fit Here:

    • You’ve recently undergone surgery (orthopedic, dental, or other) and are struggling with post-operative pain or stiffness.

    • Healing feels slower than expected, and you want to regain mobility faster.

    • Physical therapy alone hasn’t addressed the emotional or mental toll of recovery.

    How ClearBody Can Help → We specialize in integrative post-surgical recovery, combining manual therapy and nervous system regulation with conventional physical therapy. Our approach helps you recover faster by addressing both physical and emotional components of healing, making your recovery more complete.

  • Signs You Might Fit Here:

    • You work out regularly but experience recurring injuries or chronic muscle tightness.

    • You push through pain, but it’s starting to limit your performance.

    • You struggle with flexibility or range of motion despite your active lifestyle.

    • Recovery time between workouts seems to be getting longer.

    How ClearBody Can Help → Even active bodies need balance. ClearBody helps high performers achieve peak physical condition by addressing underlying muscle imbalances, improving flexibility, and guiding injury recovery. Our customized exercise programs and breathwork techniques are tailored to enhance your overall performance and prevent future injury.

  • Signs You Might Fit Here:

    • You’ve been diagnosed with a chronic condition (fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines) or experience ongoing pain without a clear diagnosis.

    • Conventional treatments (painkillers, surgeries) have provided little or temporary relief.

    • Pain is affecting your ability to perform daily tasks or enjoy life.

    • You feel emotionally drained by the ongoing search for a solution.

    How ClearBody Can Help → We offer a unique approach to managing chronic pain by focusing on the mind-body connection. Through pain education, nervous system regulation, and physical therapy, we help you understand the root causes of your pain, empowering you with the tools to manage and reduce it over time.

  • Signs You Might Fit Here:

    • You feel relatively healthy but want to take proactive steps to prevent future issues.

    • You’re interested in optimizing your health, including posture, flexibility, and stress management.

    • You want to learn more about how to integrate mind-body practices into your daily routine.

    • You’re curious about how the ClearBody Method can complement your overall wellness strategy.

    How ClearBody Can Help → For those focused on prevention, ClearBody offers tools to maintain your health and prevent future issues before they arise. Our focus on body mechanics, movement therapy, and mindfulness helps you stay aligned, both physically and mentally, in your everyday life.

 

Identifying Your Pain Index

Your “pain index” reflects how much discomfort, tension, or imbalance you experience on a regular basis. Take a moment to ask yourself:

  • Are my physical issues persistent or temporary?

  • How much is stress affecting my body?

  • Am I recovering as quickly as I should be after physical exertion or medical treatments?

  • Do I feel disconnected from my body’s signals?

Answering these questions will help you pinpoint where you are in your wellness journey. Whether your issues are mild or severe, ClearBody’s method is adaptable to your specific needs, meeting you where you are and guiding you toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Client stories

If you are searching for an extremely skilled, specialized and kind physical therapist to help you navigate chronic pain, I whole-heartedly recommend seeing Maryam, the owner of Clearbody. She is absolutely incredible. I have been dismissed by many healthcare providers in the past, and Maryam treated me the opposite of how those providers did. She truly listens to me, and provides the space for me to share any of my concerns with her. Her treatments are centered around my goals, and it feels like I finally have someone on my team in reaching them.

I have struggled with chronic back, neck and hip pain. Not only were her hands-on treatments effective in alleviating my symptoms, but she actually explained to me what she was treating and why. She taught me about how my chronic pain has impacted my nervous system. She worked with me to treat not only my painful areas, but my nervous system, and really saw me as a whole person. Maryam helped me feel empowered able to take the gradual steps to reach my goals, like playing beach volleyball and swimming regularly. I used to feel very anxious about my pain to the point where I would obsess about it and it would be a driving factor of my day, but working with Maryam helped me understand why I had that anxiety, and helped me move through it. I never thought it would be possible, but I am finally at the point to where my pain isn't something I think about all the time. After years of seeing other doctors and physical therapists who didn't listen or couldn't help me, seeing Maryam has helped me get back to the sports I love so much. I can't recommend Maryam enough. I am so grateful to have found her!
