Tucked inside a modest office building in Prior Lake, it looks assuming. But Rick Johnson's Healing Arts Center is about to get some serious publicity.
"From a little office here, we're gonna be working on a worldwide scale," Johnson says.
After years of helping clients in his neck of the woods, Johnson has been called to the sports medicine team at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California.
"I'm just thankful," he says. "I also in my heart want to do what I can to serve these athletes and our country."
Johnson will be at the training center June 23 to July 8. During those two weeks, he plans to show athletes and trainers some of his techniques, which, he says, can lead to dramatic results.
Of course, Rick would like to work with some well-known, famous athletes when he's in California. But he also hopes to help out some of the amateurs.
"They're dedicating their life to be the best in the world, without any real hope to maybe get anything out of that," he says. "But if they do make it, they become a national hero overnight."
As of now Johnson is not travelling to China with Team USA. But you never know what could happen.
"There's always a chance," he says with a smile. I'm updating my passport - just in case."
