We help runners...

RESTORE CAPACITY
RE-ESTABLISH CONSISTency
REGAIN CONFIDENCE 

We migrate runners and triathletes out of the medical system and back to consistent training through a conservative approach (free of pills, injections, and surgery)  that is dictated by each athlete's unique ecosystem and motivation to train.
"You rehab to train, train to compete, & compete to redefine your limits."

"You are only as good as your last injury & the extent to which you rehabbed it."
-Chris Johnson PT

    What are People Saying?

    ​Turning an Injury into a Kona Slot
    I came to Chris with bilateral knee pain that prevented training and racing for over a year. After working with Chris through his compassionate, organized and evidence-based approach I was able to return stronger and faster than ever before. My first race back was Ironman Texas this past Spring and included a 30 min PR and my first time qualifying for the Ironman World Championships in Kona. If you are an injured (endurance) athlete and are unwilling to settle for nothing but the best, Chris is the obvious choice to put you on the path to recovery while positioning to you to reach you personal best.

    Nagging IT Band & Running Technique
    Since my sessions with Chris, I’ve not only been running pain-free while ramping up my weekly mileage, I’ve seen improvements in my speed and endurance, and recently won the 2011 North Face Endurance Challenge 50km trail race. Now that my IT band is healed, I am looking forward to working with Chris on my running technique, and seeing how fast I can really be!!

    From Bad to Badwater & Beyond
    ​    When I went to see Chris, it was simply different; we spent a lot of time discussing my history, pain triggers, an the goals that I had for my future athletic endeavors. Chris took the time to discuss my body, its inherent limits, and the things I would be asking of it in years to come. He then gauged and created a specific regimen to cater to that recovery will all factors feeding into the plan.

    Kona Bound
    While training in an effort to qualify for the 1992 in 1996 Olympic games in gymnastics (and coming up just short at the Olympic qualification meets), I spent thousands of hours at the University of Washington, as well as some time at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs surrounded by the best coaches, physical therapists, and sporting minds on the planet. Now having spent the past few years training with Chris as my Ironman Triathlon coach and physical therapist, I have yet to meet his equal!
