About Personal Training

This is quite possibly where we at Executive PT have the most fun. The blend of physical therapy into personal training is the epitome of why clients choose to use our services.

The body was designed to undergo loading, and by that we mean strength training. The list of benefits that happen within the body as result of quality strength work are innumerable…even down to the biochemistry of our blood.

This, however, MUST be dosed appropriately to the client AND address any underlying biomechanics (improper movement patterns that if left unaddressed result long term problems). If this is not addressed, tissue failure (injury) is imminent.

Properly addressed, however, training is an incredible tool to create long term pain relief in conjunction with therapy techniques.

And when we say training, we progress people past the typical theraband and neoprene dumbbell exercises. The body tends to respond incredibly well to progression of load over time.

And that is our specialty at Executive PT.

    I came in because I’d let a shoulder injury sit for months. I was embarrassed that I’d waited so long and a little afraid that I’d done permanent damage. From the first appointment, Dustin made me feel comfortable through the evaluation and explanation of next steps. He gave me realistic hope and to work we went. Not only did we do in-office sessions, he gave me work to do at home and checked up on me in between appointments. He made me feel at ease and got me back in fighting shape. If there is a next time I won’t wait to call 😏

    After a recent shoulder injury working out, I needed help. ExecutivePT was available and after what was a very thorough evaluation we started therapy the same day. Not only was their diagnosis spot on, they educated me thru my journey so I was in tune with the impact of therapy while in session as well as my “at home” therapy. My recovery has been fantastic and I am back on my workout regimen.
    I’ve been to several PT options in Middle Tenn. Executive PT is at a level all on their own!
    Thanks Dr Howard!!

    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!

    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!!
