Kimberly Johnson, LMT in Fernandina Beach, FL

Kimberly Johnson, LMT, NMT

Kimberly was first introduced to massage therapy as an associate at The Spa at Amelia Island Plantation, a 4-diamond beach resort on Amelia Island, FL. She became very interested in the principles behind massage and found herself wanting to learn more about the benefits of therapeutic bodywork. Kimberly enrolled at the Southeastern School of Neuromuscular and Massage Therapy in 2002. After receiving her license in 2004, she began her role as a licensed massage therapist at The Spa, where she still is still employed. She has worked in a variety of massage facilities, as well as with her own private clientele.

More About Kimberly J.

Kimberly felt a desire to share her knowledge and experiences with new and upcoming therapists. In 2007, Kimberly joined the Southeastern School of Neuromuscular Massage and Bodywork team of instructors as a teacher’s assistant, where she later taught Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology, and Clinical Neuromuscular therapy. After seven years of instructing, she took on the role of Program Director and Clinical Supervisor at Southeastern College. Kimberly’s love for teaching and passion for massage makes her a great addition to the Florida School of Advanced Bodywork, where she currently teaches the fundamentals of massage in the Principles and Practice and Anatomy and Physiology. This class allows Kimberly the ability to teach and support the industry by providing the most advanced education to keep the graduates of the Florida School of Advanced Bodywork at the top in their industry.

Kimberly joined the Advanced Muscle Therapy team two years ago, with intentions of growing her clinical practice in structural bodywork. Her knowledge and clinical background help provide the clients of Advanced Muscle Therapy a modality of massage that is complementary to physical therapy, personal training, and ART. Treatment plans are made to decrease discomfort and pain associated with musculoskeletal ailments from overuse, injury, or poor posture by reprogramming the body. This type of soft tissue manipulation can help reduce recovery time between training sessions and increase performance activity.

Megan Bennett, ACE

Raised in Fernandina Beach, Megan has always lived a very active lifestyle. Growing up, she tried several sports, but rowing was her true passion. She quickly developed a love for working out, but the older she got, the more she valued the need for exercise in a balanced life for mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. To her, exercise is about decompressing after a long day of work, being able to help a friend move into a new house, or being able to take the adventure of a lifetime without worry.

More About Megan

She graduated from the University of North Florida with a Bachelor of Arts and continues to pursue a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Personal training became a very natural and fun way for her to help people achieve stronger, healthier lifestyles. She specializes in strength training and conditioning, cardio training through circuits, and increasing flexibility and mobility with stretching and exercise. She enjoys runs on the beach with her dog, Loki, surfing, SCUBA diving, or really anything outside. With experience training people from all walks of life including children, adults, seniors, pre and post-natal moms, and special needs individuals, she is ready to help you reach your goals and have a good time in the process!

Kelly, physical therapy office in Fernandina Beach, FL

Kelly Redlinski, Office Assistant

Kelly’s journey with Advanced Muscle Therapy initially started as being a patient of Larry’s! With a passion for seeing people happy and helping others feel their best, Kelly is a huge asset to the Advanced Muscle Therapy team. When not enjoying a group workout or helping patients (as well as striving to be the best version of herself), Kelly can be found being with her family or enjoying a nice quiet walk on the beach. She is no stranger to adapting and overcoming change, as she has moved from the bitter cold of Upstate New York, to the sunshine state of Florida multiple times over the last several years! Meeting new people and experiencing so many new places with her family, Kelly is incredibly grateful to be a part of a team as welcoming and ambitious as Advanced Muscle Therapy.
