ABOUT Dr. Johnson

Specializing in Women’s Health

I initially thought I was going to be a pediatric PT, but I quickly found that what I really loved was working with and educating the moms that were at the appointments instead!

I took a few specialty courses for pregnancy, postpartum, pelvic floor concerns like incontinence, prolapse (heaviness), diastasis recti (abdominal separation), c-section recovery, and exercise throughout all the stages of motherhood.

I later found a true love for helping women re-connect with their core and finding strength and confidence again. This came most commonly with women that had a c-section (cesarean birth) or following a mommy makeover or tummy tuck surgery. So, I took a specialty course for this as well to better understand the surgery itself, complications, techniques, the recovery process, and appropriate progressions throughout the healing process.

I have made it a point to connect with plastic surgeons that specialize in tummy tuck and mommy makeover surgeries in Phoenix/ Scottsdale, AZ.

Now, here we are in year 2 of my practice absolutely loving every second of it! Treating women I genuinely become friends with and it couldn’t be better. Helping moms through all the stages of motherhood is so rewarding. Watching them feel like themselves again and help them become limitless is absolutely priceless for them and me!

Hi friend!

I’m Dr. Kristin Johnson, born and raised in South Dakota. I began my journey towards a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Minnesota State University, Mankato where I graduated with my B.S. in Exercise Science and minors in psychology and sports medicine.

I felt the Lord was calling me to Arizona after college so when I found out I was accepted to PT school here in 2019, we packed up a moving truck and drove to Goodyear, AZ. Three years later I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Franklin Pierce University and later moved to the NW PHX valley and found a Jesus-loving community of women I get to call my friends.

You can find me obsessing over my goldendoodle, taking barre or yoga sculpt classes, floating in the pool, playing pickleball, and watching football with my husband!

THE MISSION

Our mission is to give you the tools and guidance in this journey of getting back to who you want to be, so that you can live your life without limitations!

CORE VALUES

I offer high quality, personalized physical therapy that targets your specific pelvic floor and orthopedic concerns. Expect to feel empowered to take charge of your body and health through education and tools that you can take with you forever! I treat combining patient preferences with the most current research. Though I am also skilled in a variety of manual therapy techniques and use them when necessary, exercise continues to remain the most effective and best long term solution there is. Each treatment session will include a new and progressed workout plan to help you achieve your goals in 4-8 sessions. I don’t believe in treatment sessions where you do the same exercises every time, don’t see progress for months, and go to PT 2-3 times per week. This is why my patients get better, quicker.

LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER!
