The CHEK Studio

I have been seeing Janet for about a month for a back and neck issue that I have had for the last 7 months because of a fall and then an auto accident. I love her! She has a great energy and has been really encouraging and very knowledgable about the muscles in the body — she’s a Kinesiologist as well as a trainer and physical therapist. I like how she always explains WHY I am doing certain exercises and points out the muscle groups on the wall chart and where they connect and what they are responsible for. I have to say that she has really given me back some power over my body when doctors (and Kaiser physical therapists) had all failed to help me. She takes into account what I do for a living (I’m a hairstylist) and the fact that I carry my young kids all the time and that I’m super busy (I have 3 kids) into what exercises she gives me. She has given me exercises and stretches that I can do at home, whenever I get a chance. She has pushed me just enough to get past my own limits without making me feel like a failure for not being able to do more at this point in my recovery. I went in the other day feeling pretty down about how long my recovery has been taking and feeling like it was never going to get better and I left motivated and empowered. I see her about once every 10 days and each time I am able to do a little bit more. Really, really happy with the help she has given me :)
