I utilize the most up to date evidence-based approach to evaluate and treat inorder toaddressandprevent further injury foreach individual.”
“I would like to personally thank Cody and his team for the support throughout high school. This team was a major part of keeping me healthy on and off the court.
Working on different techniques prevent a lot of injuries like the constant ankle sprains and knee pains I used to have in the past. With the knowledge and guidance I received from Cody, I will continue to work on strengthening and exercising the parts of my body that use to give me lots of problems while playing basketball in college. I recommend Cody Johnson for preventive treatment and if you are experiencing pain or constant problems due to sports, etc. He was a true lifesaver to me while playing basketball!” - J. W.
