To the Point Myotherapy

Sorry Janna — I’ve been meaning to write this! I saw Janna 9 months ago as my hips, back, glutes were on fire. Janna performed many myotherapeutic techniques and even gave me suggestions as I told her about my long commute (sitting on lacrosse balls /​stretching piroformis /​etc). she opened my hips up which I realized was what I really needed. My hamstrings and glutes were soooo tight, but it was my hips that needed work, then those areas loosened up. Thank you Janna — I’ll be back as I’ve begun to run and I know I’ll need massage!

If I took better care of myself I wouldn’t find myself in pain. A massage with Janna was just the fix, I couldn’t recommend her enough.

My 70+ mom was visiting and found Janna on Unilocal.All I can say is my mom loved her! I’m going to get an apt for me!

I called To the Point Myotherapy looking for a Thai massage and I got way more than I bargained for! After leaving a message, Janna called me back pretty shortly asking me more about what I was looking for and after finding out that she gives her first time clients a $ 10 discount I made my first appointment.
She works out of a small, unpretentious storefront in East Rogers Park called the Lumbar Lounge (gotta love that!) that is clean and mellow. The massage was just what I was looking for and more. I struggle with some chronic shoulder/​arm pain which severely limits my range of motion and while Janna worked on me she also addressed this problem with her trigger point magic. I left with the intention of returning the following week but because of a conflict had to wait two which was when I discovered the Unilocal Deal $ 50 for $ 80 massage!
I had massage number two and this time she worked exclusively on my shoulder using myotherapy or trigger point massage and a cold laser technique. Upon her recommended I employ a tennis ball to facilitate more healing between treatments. So… now, after treatment number three we see marked improvement in my range of movement and pain relief! Yay!!!
My advice… if you have any aches, pains, issues with range of motion… go see Janna. You will not be sorry.

I have a herniated disc which has been causing me lots of pain in my glutes, hamstring and calf, as well as weakness in my right leg. I did a Unilocal search for massage therapists and found Janna right in my neighborhood. She specializes in trigger point massage, which was just what I needed for my sore and tight muscles.
She always asks a lot of questions to see how I“m doing, and she’s very attentive and tuned in to my specific issues.
Janna has been so helpful with my situation. Every time I see her, I walk out feeling better. My pain is almost all gone now.
Janna is terrific and I can recommend her without reservation. Give her a call!

I can be very hard on my body, and Janna is my favorite person to take care of aches and pains, and help the healing process. She always asks questions before we get started, and checks in a couple of times during our session to make sure everything is going well from my perspective. She really knows her trigger points! I honestly feel like a new woman when I leave – rejuvenated and comfortable – and I think I even walk a little taller. Highly recommended for all folks. If you are an athlete or you exert yourself physically on a regular basis, I recommend a visit to Janna even more!

Janna is a superb and highly effective therapist. She has kept me running and shortened periods of debilitating pain with her expert use of multiple massage and stretching techniques. She is completely focused on finding the technique that will work best for each client.
Her knowledge of the body, the way it works and how it responds to trigger point therapy, isometrics and assisted stretching is encyclopedic. She spends a tremendous amount of time staying current on techniques and her knowledge of applications that she can deploy for her clients.
I have used many massage therapists over the last 30 years. Janna is among the very best therapists I have worked with throughout the world.

Best massage I’ve ever had. Janna has mastered getting the kinks out without causing soreness the next day. In fact, my body feels more nimble, relaxed, and refreshed for days after one of her massages. She really listens to what her clients are saying — and to their bodies. Time to make an appointment!

Thai massage? Table massage? I finally settled on the Table since it was my first massage. Everything, foremost Janna’s gentle manner and firm touch, made my experience — what’s another word for heavenly? — blissful. I even got my chakras kneaded! In my perfect world, I’d go to Janna after every yoga class. As it is, I’ll be returning soon. Maybe this time I won’t float out the door.

I’ve seen Janna for two different running-​related muscle injuries (calf strain and TFL strain) and she was able to help both strains heal up MUCH faster than they would have without her expertise! She also informed me about scar tissue and gave me instructions for self-​massage to help the healing process along between visits to her office. It was clear that she truly cared about my recovery. The atmosphere of her office was also very calming, which put me at ease during the massages — a nice touch! I am so glad I was referred to her and so grateful for her help!

Janna is a well-​trained and gifted therapist. She is my «go to» therapist whenever I am in Chicago. Thanks Janna!
