Dr. Johan Brandl-Amundson, PT, DPT, completed his undergraduate studies at Sonoma State University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science and Pre-Physical Therapy. He continued his postgraduate studies at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences where he received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy and developed a strong skill set in manual therapy and exercise prescription.
Prior to his education at the university of St. Augustine, Johan spent 3 seasons as an athletic training intern with the U.C. Berkeley Athletic Training program. This time allowed him insight on the unique physical and psychological demands placed on Division 1 student athletes, and the holistic approach which is necessary to return them to high level activity.
Johan is passionate about working with patients from all walks of life, from athletes, to weekend warriors, to patients in their golden years. He prioritizes function and activity and understands that these factors make patients whole! He utilizes manual techniques such as soft tissue and joint mobilizations, as well as myofascial decompression to address tissue dysfunctions in conjunction with progressive exercises to return patients to high levels of function.
Outside of the clinic, you can find Johan enjoying the outdoors by rowing in the San Diego Bay, running around Coronado Island, surfing and weightlifting!
