"Andy is AMAZING! I'm a runner and a few years ago I was having so much pain in my calf that I was barely able to walk much less run. I went to Andy and within a week my calf was feeling 75% better and by the end of 3 weeks I was running again! I have not had a problem with my calf since! Andy gave me an exercise and stretching program that I follow to this day. I've even actually won a few races in my age group!!! Andy is amazing."

"Worked with Andy before my hip replacement and now again after. Love the one-on-one and personalized care. Have progressed much faster since switching back over to AJ from other standard physical therapy after my surgery. 10 out of 10 would recommend."

"It is hard to put into writing how amazing this PT team is. It starts with the younger and talented Crystal who is the glue for AJ PT. Once onboarded the professionalism, knowledge, and caring atmosphere is truly warming. Andy was incredible, I began with a specific knee issue and after a few sessions I was feeling great. He is fun to talk to and has a great sense of humor which helps to make it a really enjoyable experience. I loved going to AJ PT, I could not recommend them more and look forward to going again in the near future."

"Andy Johnson is the best PT I've ever gone to by far! During my visits, he was totally focused on me and my injury. He was able to identify what was going on with my shoulder pain, treat it in the office, as well as give me the appropriate exercises to do at home. I was able to recover even quicker than i expected. I found Andy to be professional, highly knowledgeable, and committed to providing excellent service. If I ever have a PT need again, I would definitely see Andy!
