Karen DeWitte CMT
Certified Massage Therapist
Karen DeWitte has been a massage Therapist for the last 25 years. She graduated from Northern Lights School of Massage Therapy in 1995 and became nationally certified right away. Her membership with the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) began as a student in 1994 and continues to this day.
She started working in a chiropractic clinic while in the last quarter of school and found her niche- working on people with injuries is where she wanted to be. She came to Johnson Chiropractic Clinic in 2003 and has called it home ever since.
She has been able to use her skills and experience to assist the patients at Johnson Chiropractic Clinic through their recovery process. A combination of Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, and Trigger Point Therapy works the best to achieve the results she wants for her patients. Through the years, she has learned many "self-help" techniques that she suggests to patients to help them find relief and improvement between visits.
It gives her great pleasure and a sense of accomplishment to see people improve and return to their normal activities.
