As a former college wrestler, head college wrestling coach, and current physical education teacher, I have had my share of injuries. Chris is by far the finest physical therapist I have ever had treat me. I often tell my colleagues that if you want the best possible therapist to treat your injury, educate you concerning future injury prevention, and carefully plan your rehabilitation program, Chris Johnson is your answer.
