I’m Dean Johnson, Founder of Get Stretch’d, a boutique wellness studio at Churchill Square Shopping Center in Ocala. I believe we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to care for our health, which is why I’ve always maintained a diligent fitness and wellness routine.

I first experienced the power of practitioner-assisted stretching when it helped restore mobility to my shoulder after a motorcycle accident. That moment sparked my passion for bodywork—and eventually led to the creation of Get Stretch’d.

Today, our licensed massage therapists and certified stretch practitioners work together to provide a unique blend of massage therapy and assisted stretching. From improving flexibility and mobility to easing muscle tension and encouraging relaxation, our mission is simple: to help you move, feel, and live better.

I moved to Ocala in 1980, opening a retail store in the Paddock Mall and 3 other mall locations around the State of Florida where I gained extensive skills in retail, marketing and advertising. That led to a 23 year career in sales management with 102.3, 92.9, WIND 95.5, and 93.7 KCountry radio. My wife Kathy and I created a number of local magazines, including Ocala Style, Lake & Sumter Style, Healthy Living, and 352 Preview.
