Jan Hoover

Jan is the owner/founder of Tsehum Harbour Massage & Hydrotherapy. After studying massage and hydrotherapy at West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Vancouver in 1995, Jan has a developed a passion for the benefits of both massage and hydrotherapy, each with its own special value for facilitating positive, healthful change. She assesses and treats clients by addressing the whole body, from the fascia (connective tissue), to the muscles and joints to achieve goals by working gently and generally to deeper and very specific. While at Massage College, Jan participated in an extracurricular Multiple Sclerosis in-reach group and found the treatment to be so effective for the clients that she has continued to work extensively with MS and Parkinson’s thru the years. She also has a great deal of experience working with clients with cerebral palsy and other types of spasticity and brain injuries. Hydrotherapy has been a complemental modality of Jan’s for many conditions in her professional career. Moist heat for relaxing tight and sore muscles, cold for decreasing inflammation and edema (swelling). When the opportunity arose for her to build her own clinic, of course there had to be a steam and hydrotherapy room! Jan regrets that she is unable to see new clients at this time.
