Eldon Johnson

Musculoskeletal, Orthopaedics

Bio

Eldon was born and raised in Williston, in the northwest corner of North Dakota—or “God’s Country,” as he likes to say! Upon graduating from Williston High School in 1990, he headed off for college at the University of North Dakota, in Grand Forks.  While there, he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy, as well as his Master of Physical Therapy, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1995. Being an avid athlete—with an ample amount of injuries—he was drawn to the orthopedic/musculoskeletal world. Eldon is passionate about the importance of lifelong learning, and has obtained additional certifications throughout his career, which have all significantly enhanced the care he provides to his patients. These include Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength & Conditioning Association, Certified Spinal Manual Therapist (CSMT) from the International Spine & Pain Institute, and Certificate in Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (Cert MDT) from the McKenzie Institute. Being a devout extrovert, Eldon loves being around and working with people of all ages, and from all stages of life. He is 100% committed to helping people feel better and has been devoted to this since 1995!

Eldon has been a partner in RehabAuthority Physical Therapy for many years and was one of the earliest owners in the company. He is proud to have partnered with other outstanding PT’s in ND, MN, and SD, and is an owner and mentor in 10 clinics, and counting.

Proving that he also has a left side of his brain, Eldon has been a professional musician and singer/songwriter for most of his life—though, admittedly, most of that is in the rearview mirror now! He has released two self-produced albums with some other outstanding musicians and has had his songs appear on several compilation albums. One of his coolest musical experiences was performing to a packed house at the world-famous Ryman Auditorium, in Nashville, TN. He has also been a worship leader at 4 different churches over the past 25 years.

Eldon is blessed to be married to his soulmate—and most beautiful woman in the world—Amy. They have 3 wonderful children, Jacob, Isaac, and Clara, whom he is extremely proud of.
