I was diagnosed with an auto immune problem in 2015 which can make my upper body muscles very stiff. I started using Jan for therapy shortly afterwards. The results over the last couple of years have been awesome. I can now run, jog, ski and pretty much do all the things I could do before and am in the best shape of my adult life. Jan is way more than a massage therapist. She has a keen understanding of muscle and joint structure plus breathing and movement. Her stretching and massage therapy is amazing a keeps my range of motion at its peak which allows me to complete a daily exercise program. I had been to three other therapists before, Jan is the best and very intuitive to your individual needs. - Gary P.
Jan is one of the best massage therapists I have ever had! She keeps up with latest techniques and is very professional and caring! I have been seeing Jan for 3 years and I highly recommend her to anyone! Give her a try, you'll love her bodywork as I do! - Nicky M.
When my massage therapist rudely (love you Kristen Bobertz) moved out of town I was so bummed!! After about a year of trial and error the universe brought Jan into my life!! There will be no looking back (or moving away Jan!) from here. After only 2 treatments she is absolutely in “touch” with what my body needs. Jan has a true gift when it comes to moving you just the right way to work out all those spots not accessible in just a prone position. That is so important to me!! Makes all the difference in the world in my massages!! I have some neck and jaw issues that she was able to completely eliminate after my last massage. The tight, stiff feeling was gone for several days. Makes me want to go back every week! I felt amazing and strong the next day and I am completely confident that with regular visits I will cease to have these problems at all. I highly recommend Jan for any and all bodywork you might need or just want to feel amazing afterwards! - Bev S.
I have been working in the agriculture field for 30 years and my body has been repeatedly damaged by my work. I have tried many different massage therapists with less than satisfactory results. I recently started going to see Jan Helseth at Advanced Bodywork Massage in Chico. Her knowledge of anatomy and skillset in Therapeutic Bodywork is far above anything I have ever tried before. This type of massage targets specific trigger points and has amazing results in pain relief, healing, strengthening and growth. She advocates regular exercise which further extends the benefits of her bodywork. Her massage work and sound exercise advice has resulted in a complete lifestyle change for me. For the first time in 30 years I can golf, hike and swim without pain. I am committed to her amazing program and suggest anyone with chronic pain give her a try. - Paul K
