He has completed advanced training programs in manual therapy and trigger point dry needling, achieving certifications in both.
In 2017, he was recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy; 1 of 80 in Illinois. Dr. Johnson has vast experience in treating people with neck pain, back pain, headaches, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, and foot pain. This includes sports injuries, post-surgical rehab, and wear-and-tear type pain.

A large portion of his patient population includes endurance athletes and marathon runners. He also enjoys working with golfers and fitness enthusiasts such as CrossFit athletes.
