Jan completed the registered massage therapy program at Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in December 2020. His passion for athletics and growing interest in human anatomy led him to pursue a career in the health and fitness industry. He’s been a fitness trainer for 7 years and has extended his profession into becoming an RMT.
Having worked with various types of athletes, he has a strong belief that all those who require movement of their body are considered an athlete in their own respective ways.
His experience working with athletes and the general population showed him the importance of helping people improve their range of motion to achieve positions that are required for their specific lifestyle. One of his goals is to continue helping clients develop spatial and proprioceptive awareness to further stabilize the body in these newfound positions.
Jan’s philosophy involves viewing and treating the body as a whole. His approach towards manual therapeutic treatments can build a strong foundation, progression in posture, kinematics, and biomechanics in his patients.
What makes Jan unique is that he views a patient’s pain as a symptom not the root cause in many cases and he enjoys a challenge when it comes to pursuing these answers. In his treatments, Jan incorporates a variety of techniques and modalities including soft tissue approximation, trigger point release techniques, myofascial release techniques, PNF stretching, joint mobilizations, muscle activation, and active release.
Jan has had 15 years of experience playing and coaching basketball, 5 years of playing football, and enjoys being highly active in the gym, hiking, and paddleboarding. He has competed in powerlifting for four years working up to be a National level competitive lifter in the 93kg weight class and recently placed 1st in the 105kg division at the 2020 UBC Powerlifting Championships, totaling nearly 1500lbs in all three respective lifts. Jan’s background in sports and his physical and psychological transformation is what inspired him to be the therapist he is today. He is motivated to inspire and help others achieve their goals and find their own strength in any movement.
My results-focused massage techniques combine overuse injuries, sports injuries, nerve injuries, movement restrictions, underactive muscle groups, shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, and hip injuries.

Dr. Kalsi’s experience with chiropractic began when she was a teenager and was experiencing low back and foot pain. She wasn’t aware of what chiropractors were capable of doing so she wasn’t expecting a huge difference in her symptoms, especially in her foot. She was pleasantly surprised, however, when only after her second treatment she felt a tremendous amount of relief. She continued with care ever since because not only did chiropractic care alleviate her symptoms of pain, it also helped to improve the function of her muscles so the likelihood of re-injury would be low. After witnessing the benefits of chiropractic care, it was only a matter of time before she decided that becoming a chiropractor was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
After graduating high school, Dr. Kalsi attended the University of British Columbia and received her Bachelor of Science degree in Life Science in 2011. After taking a short break, she began her journey as a chiropractor at New York Chiropractic College in January of 2012, where she graduated in March 2015 with Summa Cum Laude honours and as valedictorian of her class. Following graduation, Dr. Kalsi moved back to her beautiful home of British Columbia to help serve her local community.
Dr. Kalsi believes that everyone can benefit from chiropractic care. Her approach to care involves assessing and treating each individual as a whole and creating treatment plans tailored to each individual’s health care goals. In addition to adjustments, Dr. Kalsi loves to use various soft tissue techniques, including therapeutic stretches and rehabilitation programs, in order to optimize a patient’s wellbeing and keep them injury-free.
Schedule: Mondays and Wednesdays 10:30am-7pm, Fridays 10:30am-2:30pm.
