About


Technically, I have changed my business name to Sun Structural Massage.

About Janene: She is a licensed massage therapist in Columbia MO and has two daughters, Rachel and Eliana.

Sun Structural Massage is a unique multifaceted massage clinic owned by Janene Hillbrick whose offerings include (but are not limited to): individual table time; postural assessment and measurements; individual corrective exercise sessions as well as group corrective exercise sessions.

Janene’s career as a licensed massage therapist started in 1996 after she graduated from the Moscow School of Massage in Idaho. In 2015, she obtained her MS in Kinesiology from AT Still University in Arizona. Janene opened her own private clinic in 2020.

A practitioner with over 25 years of experience in the massage therapy field, Janene specializes in what she refers to as a ‘structural sports massage’. Her techniques of choice are Muscle Energy Technique, Positional Release, cranial mobilization, and visceral mobilization. She believes that these techniques, when used appropriately, have a tremendous impact on the muscles and fascia in the body and its eventual well-being

Janene specializes in more of a structural sports massage. Her techniques of choice are Muscle Energy Technique, Positional Release, cranial mobilization and visceral mobilization. Homework for clients might include Active Isolated Stretching or some other form of therapeutic stretching. She believes that these techniques, when used appropriately, have a tremendous impact on the muscles and fascia in the body.

A majority of her continuing education classes have been through the Ursa Institute, in Edmonds, WA and Sacramento, CA. Her instructors have been Dr. Loren ‘Bear’ Rex, DO and Lino Cedros, ATC (https://www.kinectionsinc.com/). This is where she learned Muscle Energy Technique and Cranial Mobilization.

JUICE PLUS — Janene has also been a Juice Plus (JP+) distributor for many years.  She likes JP+ because of the gold standard research that has been done on the product and would love to chat with you about it.The research behind this ‘nutra-ceutical’ is outstanding. The results show that DNA damage was improved, oxidative stress was reduced, children on JP+ tend to go to the doctor less and immune systems were strengthened. If you would like to read some of the research, I’d love to share it with you. http://js72067.juiceplus.com/
