I’ve been training with Dr. Dustin Howard at Executive PT for a year. I have a history of autoimmune disease; so when searching for a health and fitness professional I always look for someone who has an extensive knowledge of human anatomy. And Dr. Dustin is exactly that person and so much more!! From the start of our first session together, he has been thorough and intentional about everything. He listens to his clients and creates individualized workout and/or rehab programs. I have worked with a lot of other fitness professionals who helped me achieve my goals, but I never created any lasting change. I would always fall back into old habits. But it’s different working with Dr. Dustin! He has taught me so much about my body. I am stronger and move better than I ever have. And I know the changes I have seen in my body and the healthier lifestyle I’ve created is sustainable. Forever grateful for Dr. Dustin! He is the best!

In addition to being born with a chronic medical condition that affects my bones and joints, I’ve also struggled for years with back and knee injuries. Before I started working with Dr. Dustin and his team at Executive PT three years ago, I didn’t have a lot of hope my knee and back pain could truly get better or that I would ever really be strong and active long-term. Every neurosurgeon, orthopedic doctor and physical therapist I had seen up to that point had told me major surgery, shots and a lifelong submission to traditional PT was the only possibility to stay out of a wheelchair and I would certainly never be able to work out at a high level again. After ONE session with Dr. Dustin, I had less pain and more hope again. Within a month, I could do pain-free squats and run again. I can now run a 5k every night pain-free and lift heavy on a regular basis with no problem. No surgeries. No injections. How? From the very first moment we met, he went to work to not just treat the pain but assess where the pain was coming from and work on my biomechanics while building strength in weak spots like my hips and glutes to support my knees and back. That level of intentionality and consistency has been game-changing.
I still see Dr. Dustin and Executive PT for high level personal training and knowing that everything I do in the gym is making me stronger (and I’m doing it correctly) has given me so much peace-of-mind. In addition to helping me live with minimal to no pain, he invests time and effort into creating very specific and individualized workouts to not only make me stronger and more capable of accomplishing my goals, but also stay active on the daily despite a recently discovered heart condition. Many of my medical doctors have said that the things I can consistently do in and out of the gym are nothing short of miraculous. The way Dr. Dustin and his team care for me as a client has not only given me so much of my active life back, but it’s actually SAVED my life. Can’t recommend this team enough!

I initially came to see Dustin about a lower back problem which he quickly resolved. His knowledge of the human anatomy and how it relates to muscle and connective tissue is second to none. That along with is white glove high touch approach has kept me working with him for the last year. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for physical therapy rehab along with personal training!!

I had been having some very uncomfortable shoulder pain off and on for years. I had been to an orthopedic doctor in the past. That got me a shot and some PT. That took care of the pain for awhile, but it eventually came back and it would come and go for months at a time.
After discussing my pain with Dr. Dustin, I decided to set up some sessions with him to see if he could help ease the pain, at least.
It took a few sessions for Dr. Dustin to pinpoint where the pain was and how to treat it. Once he did though, I started to see improvements almost immediately. Dr. Dustin gave me specific exercises to do between sessions and he took his time to make sure I was doing them correctly, including filming some videos to help with the movements.
I can honestly say that my pain has improved significantly with Dr. Dustin’s help. Pain I was having during my workouts has been non-existant for awhile now.
I highly recommend Dr. Dustin for his commitment to his patients and for his expertise in
helping them with their pain.

I had been suffering from significant lower back pain for 6 years before seeing Dr. Dustin. It would flair up and limit my mobility several times a year. I used to run marathons but was no longer able to run at all. I had tried chiropractic care but it wasn’t really a long term solution. When I first saw Dr. Dustin I was surprised at how attentive and knowledgeable he was about my pain and struggle. Within 1 session he had basically figured out what was causing all of my issues. I noticed extreme improvement quickly by following his instructions and strengthening plan. By the time we were done I was back to running, which I honestly never thought I’d be able to do again! Even though I’ve a had a few little setback since seeing him I’ve either been able to correct them with the knowledge he gave me in my sessions or he has been available to me after the fact to offer a suggestion or two. He really does care about you as a person and a patient. His care is invaluable to me.

So thankful for Dustin and now also Kelly for life changing results. I had damage to both my knees and shoulders from sports and then decades of lack of true care versus meds and threats of surgeries. Executive PT was the only place who actually helped and has my knees and shoulders without daily pain. We have since that time been doing mostly strengthening and they cater to my issues as we push to get into better condition and form of working out for the future. Thanks Dustin and Kelly…you are truly life changers!

My daughter had a cheer injury to her knee and after icing and non weight bearing, it never seemed to heal. We saw an orthopedic Dr and he didn’t think surgery would really do any good, so we decided to try PT. Regular PT just didn’t really offer her any relief either and so we just put a brace on it and she cheered in pain for 2 years with a brace. Finally our chiropractor recommended Dr Dustin and so trusting his opinion as an athlete himself, we went for a consultation. We have been very pleased with her results and that she was able come out of the brace and cheer pain free. She also had some bad form corrected which has helped her to prevent further injury! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Dustin Howard and appreciate all he did to help my daughter!

After going to many different PT places for knee and back pain, I am so grateful to have found Executive PT with Dustin and Kelly! They take the time to listen to you and create a custom plan for you and what you are looking to accomplish. I never thought I would find a combination of PT and Training, but that is what you get with Executive PT! The results have been incredible! This is by far the BEST experience with PT and Training.

I had knee pain for about a year when I found Executive PT. I had undergone many doctor visits, PT, and a surgery ending with my doctors only offering pain management as a solution. When I initially called Dr. Dustin, he spent 40 minutes on the phone with me just to ask clarifying questions to understand my issue. It felt like my problem was his problem, and he was determined to find a solution for my knee. After the first dry needling session I felt relief from my pain and was able to start building back strength to my knee. I loved the culture of this place! He focuses on educating his patients and encouraging them live strong and purposeful lives. I will continue to recommended EPT to my friends and family!
