HOME ABOUT IVAN SERVICES SPECIALS RESOURCES TESTIMONIALS CONTACT IVAN DIRECTIONS   "Ivan has magic fingers. I had a lot of pain in my lower back, after he was done giving me a massage I had alot of relief from my back pain." Collen Perry Smith College Student Granite Bay, CA I am a competitive athlete who, before Ivan, had never had a massage of any type. I must say, i had pretty high expectations from what i've heard through other cyclists in the area and all expectations were exceeded! My post-massage experience was very memerable as i really don't recall that level of relaxation ever in my life! I have noticed quite a difference in my performance on the bike after using Ivan, the increased effeciency of my muscles after a good stretch and massage really are very noticeable. Not to mention how truly comfortable Ivan made me feel through my first massage! i have been multiple times now and plan to continue with routine visits as i have found his services to be a valuable asset to my training! Jared Kessler Corporate Sponsored Competitive Cyclist Bike Shop Manager Ivan has been my bodyworker for the past two years, and out of all the wonderful attributes he has, what strikes me most is that he is guided by a keen sense of intuition and dedication to honoring the needs of his clients. As an avid marathoner, and competitive bodybuilder, who often neglected the need for stretching, all the muscles in my hips and thighs were frequently tight, knotted, and in chronic pain. Over time, as Ivan worked on me, and taught me ways to stretch, outside of the massage sessions, these muscles began to loosen, increase in mobility, the pain ceased, and my passion for running was reignited. After trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, for many years, I was able to do so, with his help. When I crossed the finish line at the CA International Marathon with a new personal best and qualification to run the Boston Marathon, Ivan was there with a huge hug and offer to provide therapeutic massage support. Aside from his skill, he is a gifted, kind, human being, who makes a deep personal investment in the well being of each of his clients. Trust me, you will not be disappointed, after receiving his services. Karen Adrian Cameron Park, CA Ivan is the best Massage Therapist I have ever gotten a massage from. He is very detail oriented. He pays attention to mood, environmental atmosphere such as ambient temperature and background noise all in an effort to relax and comfort his client. His through assessment of my needs and consideration for client specific stressors is explempary. His technique is excellent while he intuitively provides the correct amount of pressure and applying the necessary time and techniques to muscles that are particularly tight. I always feel relax and rejuvenating after he has worked his magic! Sharon P Dembinski MS, RNP Director of Quality and Clinical Services MedMark Services, Inc. Lewisville, TX 75057 "Ivan is a masterful masseuse. His training and experience in physical therapy is an added bonus. I wish he lived in the Boston area so he could be my regular masseuse." Silja Kallenbach, Boston, MA As one of Ivan's first clients, I have always been impressed by the passion and commitment Ivan brings to his practice. Over the years I have seen him apply himself to his professional development with the same zeal and dedication, all in the service of giving his clients the best in therapy. He is knowledgeable in his field and attentive to his clients. I have and continue to recommend him highly to my friends, who have been equally impressed by his excellent work. Continued success, Ivan! Cynthia Alvillar Folsom, CA After weeks on the road enduring the joys of business travel - working out of a suitcase & slumped over my laptop for hours on end only a massage from Ivan will release the stresses and strains that I experience during the day. The relief from sore and tense muscles that his healing hands provide, puts the spring back into my step. Skyline therapeutic massage allows me to release the mental and physical fatigue, and anxiety that accompanies my corporate lifestyle. Tanya Wallace, Transformation Director, Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions Hawaii, Los Angeles, Sacramento I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how great I have been feeling since I began seeing you for sports stretching and massage. As you know I have had a back surgery and various other injuries over the years but with your regimen of stretching and massage I feel like I am in my 20's again! I have been playing on a collegiate semipro baseball team this summer where we play 55 games over the course of three months. I have played in every game and I am one of the leading hitters, even though I am 15 years older than everyone else. I don't believe I would have been able to play in every game without your services and I am positive my results would not have been as good as they are thanks to you. My flexibility and range of motion have increased dramatically and I have had no sports related injuries to date. People have actually asked me how I can be doing this at my age and I have told them I have a great therapist. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is in pain or is seeking better performance. You are a godsend. Thanks for everything Ivan. Jon Lunardini I just wanted to thank you again for the massage. You are very knowledgeable and professional. The ambiance you provided was very soothing and relaxing. I will be back and plan to tell all my friends about your magic hands! Stella Cameron Park As some of you may have heard Coach Mike B has grounded me from the bike for a week to rest up for the upcoming races....YES!! That's 5 whole days, NO SADDLE TIME....Zippo, nada!!!!! (Yes, I'm already grumpy and it's gonna kill me! But, I figure he's gotten me this far in the season with some pretty decent results so I guess I'd better be a good coachee and listen to him. ) SO! As part of my 'homework', he also 'forced' me to get a massage. I had the opportunity to experience Ivan Goburn's Sport's Massage...he is in the same office as Mike's PT practice....some of you may remember meeting him at the Uniform pick-up Party. Okay, WOW!!!! Ivan knows what he's doing!! He really listened to me about what's happening with my joints etc. (including my cracked rib and was able to work around it easily). If you're looking for a Sports Massage Therapist- HE IS YOUR GUY!! My back has not felt this loose in ages... I have tried other massag therapists in the past with only short term relief! For my legs and hips he employs the same techniques used by Physical Therapists for stretching and tissue work. EXCELLENT technique AND, he is very aware of an athlete's/racers stress areas that need extra attention. Don't miss out!! I just made another appt for after next week's race and one for Scott this Sunday after the Davis Double. Jeanie Van Voris Sunday I have a long hilly ride followed by a hilly run to get ready for Auburn half ironman in 2 weeks. I know Ivan will fix my tight hamstrings. …… I had a bike fit with our own chief Mike B. and some of the problems I am having is tight hamstrings !! imagine that ... so I cannot wait to see Ivan - this isn't just a massage - it's body work. If you are active you need to have bodywork done . Sheila Leard, RD, CSSD Team Revolutions Nutritionist Board Certified Sports Dietitian I received a call from Ivan Gobern asking to donate his time to support our Relay For Life in Fair Oaks. I thought it was a great idea, and was utterly shocked at what happened next. He arrived with three massage tables, a rotating staff of workers giving massage after massage to participants. There was a line around the side of his tent for a massage from Ivan and his crew. When I hear friends and participants reflect on how successful the Fair Oaks Relay For Life was, Ivan's name and the massages from Skyline Back/Body Works has came up time and time again. I would recommend trying Skyline; moreover, I'm sending my beautiful girlfriend to get a massage from Ivan tomorrow!
