Vargo PT: Palmdale

Mr. Johnson is a Partner and Clinical Director for the Palmdale Vargo PT clinic. He has been a licensed Physical Therapist since 1999 and is also a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) and ASTYM certified clinician. In addition to managing the clinic, he evaluates and treats outpatient orthopedic, sports rehabilitation, shoulder rehabilitation, elbow rehabilitation, worker’s compensation and personal injury patients.

Priding himself on personally investing in every patient he meets, Mr. Johnson works to create individualized plans taking into account all of each patient’s unique factors. He believes physical contact — joint/soft tissue mobilization, therapeutic massage and other manual treatments such as PNF techniques and gait/balance training — are essential to rehabilitative therapy.

He received his Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. While attending physical therapy school, he worked as a medical assistant/athletic trainer for the orthopedic surgeon and team doctors for the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins.
