Dustin is hands down the best physical therapist. I have had low back issues for years and Dustin has helped me get to normal. He spends most of the appointment working on my back and hip so that I can move better and be pain free. Like most people, I have been to several therapists. Dustin is truly the best.
Dustin's work and care is unmatched. He brings an overview picture towards treating his clients. Often times in physical therapy, a therapist will treat something acute, whereas Dustin looks at the bigger picture. What's causing this and why. He's knowledge is vast and does a great job of explaining the intricacies of anatomy without talking over your head. The practice itself is open and the staff are always welcoming and genuine. I'll continue to go to Define Wellness & PT for all my PT needs!
When we push ourselves physically; from rehab, everyday workouts, or from some other circumstance...it's inevitable that our muscles and joints may ache and/or pain us. No pain no gain!! It's at these moments I immediately dial up Define Wellness's top notch message services, where everyone knows; "Katcha has got ya!"
Over the years I've need physical therapy for different injuries and have seen other PT's. What I have found with Dustin is that he has more extensive training, a broader knowledge, and greater range of techniques than the others I've seen. He is also far more in-tune with what is happening in my body and he has been able to get results others weren't able to achieve.
