Why Executive PT Isn’t Insurance-Based—and Why That’s Better for You

We understand the appeal of using insurance for physical therapy, but the truth is that insurance-based care often falls short.

It prioritizes what’s covered over what your body truly needs, leading to generic treatments, minimal progression, and limited one-on-one attention.

At Executive PT, we’ve chosen a better path. By stepping outside insurance constraints, we can focus entirely on you:

  • 1:1 Individualized Care: Every session is one-on-one, tailored to your unique goals for faster recovery and lasting results.
  • Proven Techniques: We combine progressive strength training with advanced recovery modalities to address root issues and build resilience.
  • No Red Tape: Without insurance dictating your care, we deliver what works, not just what’s approved.

This approach empowers you to recover fully, prevent future issues, and achieve more.

While it may require a bigger upfront investment, the results—a stronger, pain-free future—are worth it. At Executive PT, we prioritize your health, not insurance limitations.

At Executive PT, we focus on long-term solutions, not just temporary pain relief. Using advanced tools like force plates and dynamometry, we assess strength and imbalances to develop a personalized plan. Our goal is to help you build lasting strength and resilience, not just reduce pain.

We integrate infrared treatment, ultrasonography, dry needling, and blood flow restriction training to accelerate healing, while strength training with a blend of barbells, cables, bands, dumbbells, and machines helps reinforce that progress.

For many clients, strength training should extend beyond the initial “physical therapy” phase to ensure long-term recovery and continued performance gains. Our approach is designed to help you recover safely and perform at your peak—now and for years to come.

    “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!!”
