My time in physical therapy with Dr. Lara Johnson has transformed how I experience my body and allowed me to run, bike, hike and dance again pain free. I have had a repetitive high hamstring injury that has flared up annually since having my kids. I have seen several PT's previously over the past 3 years for this issue, but found my symptoms continued recurring. Dr. Johnson truly approaches her work from a holistic viewpoint that I have not experienced with previous PT''s, in order to get to the root cause of her patients' symptoms. Her work started with focusing on my nervous system in order to get my dysfunctional muscles to start to function again. I was amazed to discover that tightness in my psoas muscle was a major contributor to my hamstring symptoms! Along the way she helped me uncover some emotional factors that were actually contributing to why this injury had continued to recur. As a result of this holistic approach I am now able to run/dance and hike again pain free! I highly recommend reaching out to her for a free initial phone consultation! More...

Dr. Lara Johnson is wonderful!! I am a Professional dancer out of NYC and found Dr. Lara because of a chronic back injury which inhibits my dancing and range of motion. By re-training the neuromuscular system (instead of just treating the injury and finding temporary relief) I have found a system which is working towards living a pain free future, not just the present moment. I have been able to see great improvements in my mobility in my spine as well as diminished overall pain in dance class! I am now back on tour with a Broadway show and am so thankful! The icing and stretching techniques are imperative in my success and I am so thankful to Dr. Lara for introducing them to me!! :) More...

Lara helped release my psoas muscle on the front of my torso and taught me some exercises and icing protocols which made a huge difference with my back pain. She helped my husband a great deal too. I would highly recommend her! More...

I am 59 years old and I have been running for more than 40 years, and I have had my share of injuries and setbacks.One of my reoccurring and nagging injuries is a blown out calf muscle. Having visited many other PTs and healers over the years, it always takes at least 6-8 weeks to heal (with no running). It happened again for me recently.Dr. Lara Johnson recommended a new and different treatment, going after the root cause, and I was ready to run again in less than 2 weeks! The routine of running with my friends each week is among my most important and valuable experiences.Thank you Dr. Lara. I can’t begin to thank you enough! -Marty Kibiloski, 2:23:24 marathon PR More...

I came to Lara 6 years after an accident seriously injured my spine. She used modalities that were new for me and she helped me to get out of pain. She said, "this is what helps athletes". I am by no means an athlete, but the regime she used for me helped to shut down my pain. I am forever grateful for what Lara taught me and highly recommend her. More...

Dr. Johnson is really detailed oriented with great comprehensive knowledge of how the body should work and how to find the root cause of the problem. ...instead of treating symptoms. As a high performance Athlete, finding the problem and creating a prevention plan to stay healthy is essential. More...

After seeing many doctors who could not diagnose my condition (pain in my groin area), on my first visit to Lara she was able to quickly determine what was wrong AND heal me after a handful of visits. It was so refreshing to feel like she cared about me as a person rather than just a body part that needed to be diagnosed and treated. Highly recommend! More...

Best physical Therapist in Boulder. I came in for neck pain and shoulder pain and what Lara said made sense to me as to how to heal the problem rather than just treating symptoms. How she explained it was such an eye opener and she helped me see that this problem really has been there a long time and where it came from. I have tried a lot of other modalities, however nothing nailed quite like Lara did. I have been doing what she said and feeling a huge difference. I highly recommend her. More...

I experienced the best results w Lara. I’ve been an avid runner for over 15 years. In one session she was able to pin point exactly what was going on with an injury and I left feeling amazing. She educated me in biomechanics and gave me specifics to do at home. I was able to run the next day. I’ve seen many people throughout the years... This girl knows her stuff. Well Done, Lara- my miracle worker! More...

Lara is amazing! I was dealing with serious ankle issues that caused me to drop out of a couple races. Instead of focusing specifically on my ankle, she took a macro approach that brought into consideration the "whole body" elements leading to the issue.
It also helps that she's an athlete!
Thank you, Lara!
