Refresh Physical Therapy 27 School Street, Boston, MA 02108

"Dr Johanna is one of the best. She has been helping me recover from a shoulder surgery. She has been very patient with me and a huge aid in getting my motion and strength back. I would highly recommend getting at PT needs done by her!"

"Dr. Johanna Russell is absolutely amazing to work with! I've seen many physical therapists over the years and haven't felt more comfortable or confident with my recovery plan than with Johanna. She's extremely knowledgeable and friendly, but also provides a personalized plan tailored to you. During our sessions I always know I have Johanna's full attention and if I have any questions in between sessions, she always makes herself available. I have done both virtual and in-person physical therapy sessions and I highly recommended both! Bonus - the staff at Refresh Physical Therapy is amazing and booking appointments is always a breeze."

"I have been working with Johanna for about 3 years. Her insights, care and teaching have been critical as I dealt with an unclear knee injury. We worked together before, during and after the knee surgery. She takes a holistic approach and her methods and exercises really pay off. I highly recommend her as a outstanding professional and a wonderful person. Also, all people at Refresh are kind and work with you, they are on your team in times when you feel you can use the help."

"I've been seeing Johanna off and on for a couple of years for running injuries and she has been amazing! She's incredibly knowledgeable and has been able to easily pivot as one running injury has turned into another, helping me fix each issue as it has cropped up. She's easy to get ahold of, patient, understanding, clearly cares about the outcome of her patients, and always has me laughing through our appointments. Can't recommend her enough!"

"I have chronic neck & shoulder pains that cause ongoing migraines but have been hesitant to go to PT because I’ve had very mediocre experiences in the past. Dr Russell (formerly Dr Ryan) changed that dramatically! She is an amazing listener and really seeks to understand your experience so that she can address it holistically. She’s super kind and also realistic about the amount of time most of us have to practice exercises at home - so she gives great practical advice on how to fit them in. I’m so glad I found her! I recommend her to anyone who will listen & she had helped many of my friends and family."
