Cedric Johnson brings 18 years of experience and intuition to the table, and an attention to a client’s requests that has earned him customer loyalty lasting for years. That rotator cuff pain that is nagging the trapeze artist? It requires different care than the horse act rider’s hamstring. “I really listen and pay attention to what everyone wants during a session,” he says, “rather than just going through the motions of a regular, cookie-cutter massage.” That might mean sports massage for a serious gymnast (his youngest client) or supporting mobility for a 96-year-old (his oldest client). Many people come to focus on alleviating chronic pain, but some just want to relax. Wherever they are on the spectrum, Johnson is there to listen, then treat.
