What’s your role at Division Chiropractic?
I’m a licensed massage therapist. I work with patients in need of relief from pain and stress.
What makes Division Chiropractic the best chiropractor in Chicago?
It’s the best because it’s the most relaxing chiropractor office I’ve been a part of in Chicago. From the front desk team and other massage therapists to the patients, it’s a very calming scene. I think the positive energy the chiropractors put out make it a peaceful place.
What brings you the most joy at work?
I love it when a patient tells me how much relief they received from their massage session.
What are some of your hobbies or interests?
I like to work out and read.
Do any of your hobbies ever make a positive impact on your life at work? If so, how?
Yes, working out keeps me in shape and allows me to have the strength to endure anything at work. Reading allows me to go into a relaxed mode when I massage. I can just drift and allow my mind to think; it really helps me focus on the patient’s needs.
Any good book(s) you’ve read recently?
Trading in the Zone.
What does self-care look like for you during our spring season?
Self-care looks like getting a massage on a regular basis, juicing to release toxins, and eating high protein, fruits, and vegetables.
If you had to make up a whole new astrological sign, what would your sign be called and what would its most distinguishable trait be?
The Plus sign. I believe that as life goes on I learn and gain from anything and anyone. Those lessons are always a Plus.
If you could have one brand-new invention added to the office for both our patients and coworkers to use, what would this invention be?
I’d say hot towel warmers because they’re beneficial in easing the body, and they feel really good.
Forget the rules of nature for a moment– which plant would you most like to see added into our office?
Roses because they are beautiful.
What’s one interesting thing about your role within the clinic that you wish more people knew?
I observe my patients every time they come in so I can track their progress. This is very important for therapists to do and it often goes under the radar.

Thank you, Johnny, for letting us get to know you a little better!
And now, dear audience, it’s your turn! Any juice recipes you want to share with us? Would you also like to see rose bushes all throughout our office? It sounds wonderful, but as they say, every rose has its thorn— Then again, if you have a thorn in your side, you would have to look no further than Johnny because he’s a skilled practitioner that knows how to work out all manner of back and body aches.
