My Name is Dustin Murdock and I am a physical therapist at Adapt Physical Therapy. In general, I am the type of person who is curious about almost anything and have been told in the past that I have too many interests. I spend my free time reading, spending time outside and spend way too much time in the gym. For the past 15+ years, physical activity and training has been a big part of my life ranging from sport, running, powerlifting and now CrossFit with a bit of endurance training mixed in. This affinity for movement and physical activity has influenced my previous education in exercise science and has led to me to completing a master in physical therapy.
As a physiotherapist, I take a more movement based approach with a focus on providing information and advice on how to manage pain and injury. I believe that physical therapy and rehab is not easy and try my best to provide people the tools and information to navigate the complexities of pain and injury. I always tell people that physiotherapy is NOT about “fixing people”, telling people what they should not do or finding problems. I believe that physiotherapy should be helping people get back to the things they want to do and finding ways to manage pain/injury and lifestyle based on their goals inside and outside the gym. One of my goals as a physical therapist is to show people that their bodies have the capacity to grow and adapt no matter their age or previous life experiences. Rather than focusing on finding problems the aim is to empower people, keep people moving and encourage people to move more.
Adapt.
