She utilizes a biopsychosocial approach and with a combination of education, manual therapy, movement, and mindfulness, she is able to collaborate on creating an individual management plan for men with abdominal and pelvic pain.
Jocelyn is also a strong advocate in educating registered massage therapists on the safe, evidence-based, and positive effects massage therapy can have for men with abdominal and pelvic pain.
