Doctor of Physical Therapy

"I came to be a patient with Dr Affifi by way work related accident in 2014. I have been a patient since then and recommend Sunshine Physical Therapy to any who will listen! What you get with this practice is specialized individual care with an emphasis on your well-being and healing. Robin is the ultimate administrator and keeps the place running smoothly, leaving Dr Affifi available to concentrate on his patients. If you are looking for care that is NOT a physical therapy “farm” where you are a name on a folder and you see someone different each time, Sunshine PT is the place for you! As someone else said in a review – best kept secret in the Kingstown area!."
Valerie M.
"Sunshine Physical Therapy is the best kept secret in the Kingstowne area. Robin handles the appointments and assists Dr. Affifi. She is the consummate professional and works hard at keeping all the balls in the air. Dr. Affifi is an exceptional physical therapist and after one session for a scapular strain I already felt much much better. He is highly qualified and very good at explaining every step of his program for your recovery. This practice is small but delivers highly personalized service. If you ever need physical therapy, do yourself a favor and try Sunshine Physical Therapy."
Chris C.

WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Philosophy

In Sunshine Physical Therapy, we believe in taking a comprehensive approach to the management of our patients’ problems.

We don’t only treat the patient’s complaint, but we try to determine the cause of the problem and the underlying reason for it.

For example, if we are evaluating a patient with knee pain due to arthritis, we not only try to treat the arthritis but to investigate the reason for the arthritis.

These reasons might include a foot abnormality, obesity, or other underlying condition that can result in arthritis.

Based on this comprehensive assessment, we come up with a plan of care based on the patient’s needs, treating both the symptoms and the source of the problem.
