Welcome to
Core Solutions Physical Therapy.
Hi! I’m Barbara Johnston, MPT.
I aim to educate my patients in a safe environment while offering them necessary comprehensive care in order to develop a plan for sustainable goals and achieve a new level of function and performance.
Often, the root cause of pain is from dysfunction or compensation in another part of the body and my approach to therapy teaches your body to begin healing so that there is pain relief, injury prevention and optimal movement.
With almost 20 years of experience as a PT, I provide a wide variety of services including Sport Rehabilitation and Movement Screening, Dry Needling, Cupping, IASTM, Spinal Mobilization and Kinesio-taping Techniques.
My systematic approach along with these specialized techniques allow me to provide unparalleled and individualized treatment for a faster return to activity.

In my spare time I enjoy working out in the CrossFit gym, in our basement or run/walking outside. My husband and I have four children and love to be involved in each of their hobbies.
Prior to having children and starting CrossFit, I trained year-round for 10K's and half marathons and have also competed in the sport of triathlon.
In 2012, I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction as a preventative measure due to significant family history of breast cancer. I also enjoys raising money for and supporting various breast cancer foundations.
