As part of the UW Health Sports Medicine Dancer's Clinic and Performing Arts Medicine teams, Jan treats a variety of upper- and lower-extremity sports injuries. She has a special interest in working with dancers, gymnasts, cheerleaders, figure skaters and divers to prevent and treat biomechanical faults and injuries.

I treat the whole person to optimize performance and allow a safe return to their sport.
