A Personal Journey to Pain-Free Movement
Having navigated his own journey through sports injuries and chronic pain, Dr. Johnston intimately understands the physical and psychological challenges his patients face. This firsthand experience shaped his treatment philosophy: the most disabling aspect of pain is often not the physical sensation itself, but the loss of confidence and lack of guidance on how to restore normal movement patterns.
