Sarah Johnson, PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy
“Take care of your body, as it is the only vessel you get to travel through this experience of life with.”
EDUCATION
Dr. Sarah received her Bachelor's Degree in Education from the University of Kansas. She then earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from The College of St. Catherine.
EXPERIENCE
Dr. Sarah comes to CCH with over 17 years of experience in patient care. She has spent the majority of her career as a physical therapist working in out-patient orthopedic settings. She has been fortunate to have exposure with all different types of injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. Unfortunately, the insurance model and Physical Therapy at bigger clinics, does not allow for the 1:1 time needed to address so many issues. Sarah is excited for the ability to come to a collaborative wellness environment where she can truly focus on what matters most.
CERTIFICATIONS
Dr. Sarah is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy. She is certified in Dry Needling and Graston Technique.
HEALING APPROACH
Dr. Sarah's treatment philosophy is to provide personalized knowledge and expertise in order to enable her client's to reach their desired goals.
She is a wellness junkie and will dig deep to try and discover the root cause as opposed to just chasing the pain.
Dr. Sarah's objectives are to restore function, prevent re-injury and empower her clients with the knowledge and resources to carry forward independently with their desired outcomes.
CURRENT PRACTICE
Dr. Sarah is an independent contractor at CCH. She specializes in pre and post operative rehabilitation, musculoskeletal injuries, and orthopedic and sports related injuries. She is often assisting and consulting those who have failed in other healthcare settings as she understands how important the right advice and approach can truly be.
When utilizing Physical Therapy services with Dr. Sarah, clients will receive 1:1 care that focuses on the root cause and overall wellness. The emphasis will be on improving pain, gaining mobility, neuromuscular learning and education. Treatment could include manual therapy and joint and soft tissue mobilizations (Dr. Sarah likes to use her hands a lot!), dry needling, exercise prescription and more.
