"I am at the end of my physical therapy program with Charlie Johnson, and I want you to know that, while I've been to PT before, for three knee surgeries and shoulder surgery, I have never met a physical therapist like him. I had pain in my right hip and could barely walk. My doctor sent me for physical therapy and I went to a nearby clinic that I had used before. The therapist there diagnosed my hip pain as being caused by strained muscles in my buttock. I play doubles tennis four times a week with other senior women, so I trusted her judgment.

However, after one month of physical therapy two times per week, my progress was going nowhere.

It's very difficult for me to quit the program when I committed time to it and I've been in pain and wanted to get better.

But I decided to try Dr. Charlie Johnson.

When I met him, he diagnosed my hip pain as being caused by a compressed nerve, not a muscle, and then introduced me to a series of exercises that immediately started to give me relief. Over time, he tweaked the exercises to fit my needs better and to relate to tennis movements. Also, he constantly asked for feedback on my exercises - I thought that I was a partner with him and his knowledge of the body. He used some chiropractic and physical therapy movements, which I found innovative and creative. I feel that he targeted everything to my individual needs.

After one month I was well on my way to feeling better and more confident.

Today, after a month and a half of physical therapy, I'm completely free of pain and have full movement in my head. I'm back to playing tennis again.

Charlie has provided an ongoing exercise program that I can easily accomplish as a warm up to the tennis and golf. I'm confident now that I understand why I was having hip pain and what I can do in terms of exercise and stretching to prevent re-injury. And if I do have hip pain, I know

I have the tools to relieve it. I have one easy, practical program to follow and I understand it.

Dr. Johnson is very easy to get along with and he has excellent communication and teaching skills so that you understand his approach to your physical problems. I'd highly recommend him as a physical therapist."

"I came to Charlie because I was experiencing pain and decreased mobility in my hips. Charlie worked with me and we created a plan if treatment and at home exercises that were reasonable and helpful.

Every once in a while I have some pain, but I know what to do, how to help myself, how to prevent further injury. Sounds silly, but just being able to sit “Indian-style” without pain is a big deal!

Thanks Charlie for partnering with me to help me reduce the pain and increase what I’m able to do.”

"I came to see Charlie because of my hip… going up and down stairs, sleeping & driving my car was painful.

I don’t have pain anymore.

I’ve never been to physical therapy before, but after seeing Charlie, I’m a believer!”
