Satisfied Clients Say ...
"I cannot say enough about the positive results I have experienced from myofascial release treatments from Jocelyn of Sunshine Therapeutics. For years I had suffered from extremely tense and tight muscles in my head, neck, jaws and shoulders caused by several rear end car accidents. As a result, I suffered from severe migraine headaches and could barely turn my head to the left even though I was receiving monthly chiropractic and acupuncture treatments. After my first treatment with Jocelyn and the myofascial release, I realized I had finally found the missing piece to my health regimen. Now the chiropractic adjustments hold and my energy levels stay more grounded and flowing with fewer blocks because the knots in my muscles and myofascia have finally been released.
Jocelyn is very skilled and professional with her treatments. Her positive attitude is infectious. Along with the treatments, she taught me exercises and stretches to enhance my healing and enable me to perform the releases, to some extent, myself. Jocelyn is gentle in her approach and has empowered me to be an active participant in my healing and improved health. The treatments are very relaxing and I feel wonderfully rested afterwards. Jocelyn has had a positive impact on the quality of life I now experience, free of pain and discomfort with the release of the fascia.

Functional Restoration
Occupational Therapy (OT) encompasses what occupies your time. The primary focus is on returning you to your role in life whether you are a child, student, parent, business professional, athlete, or of retirement age enjoying the golden years. Through stretches and exercise, an occupational therapist guides you to increasing your muscle strength and ability to be independent with your everyday activities. If restoration of normal movement is not possible, an OT will educate you on compensatory strategies to be independent with the task. This may mean using a reacher to obtain items on the floor, sitting on a shower chair for increased safety and energy conservation while bathing, or fitting you and educating you in a customized wheelchair to allow you to move around your environment easily.
^ topBody Mechanics and Ergonomic Recommendations
Training a client in body mechanics is essential for injury and fall prevention. After an injury or illness, your strength is compromised which often times leads to faulty body mechanics which place further stress on the body. Therefore, during your OT treatment, you will be educated on the basics of proper body mechanics and ergonomics. Ergonomics addresses the set-up of your home, equipment, and workplace to allow you to work efficiently eliminating unneeded twisting, stretching, and energy expenditure. Efficient ergonomic set-up is necessary to prevent repetitive strain and twisting injuries, which can develop over time and compromise the fascial structure of your body, thus, leading to short and long term disability. Home safety evaluation and recommendations are also encompassed into ergonomics training. Prevention is the key to sustained good health.
^ topCognitive and Psychological Wellness
Occupational Therapy is a holistic approach to wellness because an OT treats cognitive and psychological difficulties. Either retraining a client post stroke or traumatic brain injury in problem solving and comprehension or developing stress management skills, a person's thought process is addressed in order to fully return the client to their maximum level of wellness. An OT may recommend journaling, deep breathing, guided meditation, art, or music to minimized a client's stress level and improve their ability to manage challenging circumstances. The mind is more powerful than our muscles and therefore is an integral part of a client's occupational therapy.
