Dr. Willis Graves, PT, DPT, CSCS

Willis, a native of Memphis, TN, moved to the Nashville area in the late summer of 2021 after completing his physical therapy education in May of the same year. Willis attended Harding University in Searcy, AR for both his undergraduate and graduate studies, earning a bachelor's in exercise science and a doctorate in physical therapy. During his time at home in the summers between semesters, Willis spent his time learning from and working with some of the top trainers and strength coaches in the Memphis area. Willis has training in a variety of manual therapy techniques, and specializes in working with all iron sport athletes (powerlifting, strongman, olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, highland games, crossfit, etc).

 

Willis has competed in several powerlifting meets over the years, but switched gears in 2018 and began training to compete in the Scottish Highland Games. He travels multiple times a year for competitions all over the country and won the national championship in his division in 2021. When he is not training or working with his clients, Willis enjoys spending time with his wife Callie, and his german shepherd Nash.
