I had been suffering from neck stiffness and horrible headaches off and on for the last several years and finally decided to give PT a try. Dustin was able to pinpoint the trouble areas and prescribe a set of stretches and strengthening exercises to do at our sessions and at home. After a few months, I am happy to report that my headaches have all but disappeared and I have mobility in my neck that I haven't had in years.

He’s The only one who discovered the actual Source of my pain and what’s required to get me back to enjoying a good quality of life.

I am 61 years old and have had several surgeries on my body. Legs, back, arm , shoulder. About 3 months ago I finally got the referral to Dustin . Wow has that helped my life and mobility. I have a long way to go, but I literally will be able to keep working several more years because of Dustin , and what he is teaching me and training he is providing me with.

My PT sessions with Dustin were eye opening. After just one session I left with improved mobility. Dustin was able to target the root of my problems and get me going on the right path to complete recovery. I have total trust in his abilities and knowledge. I learn something new with every PT session and leave feeling optimistic about achieving my goals.

Dustin is awesome. He customizes treatment based on the person’s abilities and their goals. Would recommend to any athlete of any age. As an older athlete, I’ve been to many physical therapists, through Sutter and the VA. Most were cookie cutter treatment programs. Whether 22 year old athlete or 52 year old sedentary person, treatments were very similar, if not the same. Dustin treatments are customized to each person.

Due to a lifetime spent playing sports, I have had experience with multiple physical therapists. I will never recommend a place more that Grit Physical Therapy. Dustin's one-on-one personal attention is unmatched in the industry. He takes the time to fully understand what the problem is and develops an extremely personalized plan for healing.

Dustin is an amazing physical therapist. His care has been the best I’ve received regarding the issues I’d been experiencing. I came in with an IT band issue on both knees and a bicep strain. On top of his physical therapy, he assigned me a few workouts and stretches to do at home. In a month, I had little to no issues, and I was back to my training plans with no pain.

I've been seeing Dustin since my track season started, it's been amazing I'm felt really strong. My times it the 1600m have gone down significantly going from a 4:51 to 4:27, with more PR's coming soon. He is always amazingly fun and easy to talk to. He listens to what I need help on, knows what he is talking about, and is always professional and is really good about finding times that fit in my chaotic life.

The quality of care, attention to detail, and overall interest in your health/goals/well-being that Dustin provides is, without question, second to none. This is my second time seeing Dustin, as he treated me for a surgically repaired shoulder a few years ago. Now, he’s helping me work through a few injuries that weren’t due to a specific event, but rather progressed over time, and are difficult to find ways to pinpoint treatment for — unless you take your time and peel back the layers, which is exactly what Dustin does.

**My Experience with Dustin at GRIT Performance PT** In March 2023, I injured my labrum, biceps tendon, and extensor muscles during a workout, which left my left arm essentially out of commission and sidelined me from exercising. Over the next year and a half, I went through multiple MRIs, physical therapy sessions, ultrasounds at nearly every visit, and consultations with specialists and doctors, all in an effort to get back to normal.

I highly recommend Dustin to anyone needing an excellent Physical Therapist. Dustin works with me one-on-one for the entire session, and supplies email directions for each exercise after each visit. He also is a master at inventing new exercises for me when there is no pre-canned exercise to treat my condition. I am very impressed with Dustin and the excellent services he provides.

I loved seeing Dustin for a couple of injuries I was dealing with. He pays attention to detail and wants to pinpoint the underlying issue of your injuries. He was also always very flexible with his schedule and was always able to accommodate to my busy schedule. I would definitely recommend him as a PT to anyone dealing with injuries.

I am very satisfied with the regimen Dustin worked up for my hip pain. I definitely improved under his care. I have no problem recommending GRIT Physical Therapy to others.

Six weeks ago I had hurt my knee doing bjj. I had done a MRI to confirm it was a grade 2 MCL sprain. To get a head start on my recovery I did research on finding the right PT. I spoke with a handful of Physical therapists including Dustin at Grit Fitness. Pricing and availability for everyone was about the same across the board. Dustin got my attention based off how genuine he sounded over the phone.

I was referred to Dustin at Grit for chronic shoulder pain. I was skeptical of PT due to some bad experiences with the bigger corporate PT companies in the area but it’s absolutely crazy how much attention to detail and care Dustin puts into his work. After I was evaluated by him, I wasn’t pawned off to some grad student to do exercises that I could've basically found on YouTube.
