Note:
Dustin spent his first 3 years as a physical therapist working for us here at WHMC. He then relocated to Colorado where he developed a special interest in vestibular rehabilitation. He also developed an emphasis on mechanical evaluation of orthopedic problems with treatment focused on manual therapy and functional exercise. He has since returned to the Palouse and provides us again with his typical soft, healing approach that so many patients delight in.
