Yvonne Johnson, PT, is the Manager of Physical Therapy at The Continuum Center for Health and Healing at Beth Israel Medical Center. She is a graduate of New York University and has over 19 years of clinical experience.

Yvonne has extensive expertise in the area of musculoskeletal and orthopedic assessment and treatment. The majority of her career has been dedicated to the treatment of professional and collegiate athletes, weekend warriors along with the general population. Her approach is a strong, comprehensive mixture of exercise design and manual based therapies. She believes the integration of patient specific traditional exercise paradigms along with soft issue techniques, like (Myofascial Release), bridges the gap between a good and excellent outcome. She has developed injury specific therapeutic interventions and has choreographed their adaptation into rehabilitation programs for routine and complex sports-related injuries. Yvonne is extremely passionate about her craft and feels there is no challenge too big, as long as, the patient is willing to work hard towards their recovery. The mind-body connection, she believes, plays an integral role in healing. Yvonne has been the physical therapist for several of The New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, New York Liberty, The Harlem Wizards and The U.S. Women's National Rugby Teams.
