"Recently I hurt my back terribly (herniated discs). I could not walk without sciatic nerve pain shooting down my leg. It was terrible. Fearing surgery I chose PT and entrusted Dr. Alec with my all medical care. I could not be happier with my decision and my results! Dr. Alec's attention to detail, wealth of knowledge and ability to trouble shoot all of my issues has me now completely pain free! I'm back to working out, living a normal life, I feel stronger than ever and I avoided surgery! I cannot recommend Hercules Performance and Dr. Alec enough! If you need help, Dr. Alec needs to be your first call!!!"

That deep ache in your butt when you sprint? That's proximal hamstring tendinopathy—and rest alone won't fix it.

This injury is common in sprinters because of the massive forces the hamstring endures during acceleration.

The good news? With the right rehab progression, you can come back stronger.

The Hercules PPT protocol:
-Isometrics – Build tolerance and reduce pain
-Eccentrics – Remodel and strengthen the tendon
-Speed/Force Development – Rebuild sprinting capacity safely

Don't let this injury linger for months. (and it can if you only rest it)

Let's get you back on the track.

"Not your average physical therapy! As a former division 1 athlete I have been in and out of PT for a long time. Getting to work with Alec has been exactly what I need. He gives you specific exercises/therapy to help with your injury along with a workout routine to keep you engaged and strong. So lucky we have this in vero beach!"

Everyone wants to be faster. But most athletes are training speed all wrong.

Running more sprints won't make you fast if you're weak, have poor mechanics, or lack power development.

Speed is a SKILL built on three pillars:

-Strength – Force production is the foundation
-Mechanics – Efficiency beats effort every time
-Power – Explosive force application = velocity

At Hercules PPT, we don't just make you tired—we make you FAST.

Book a Discovery Call (link in bio) and let's build a science-backed speed program that delivers real results.

Year-round sports. No off-season. Multiple teams. Sound familiar?

Youth sports culture is pushing young athletes harder than ever—and their bodies are breaking down.

Overuse injuries now account for 50% of all youth sports injuries.

The solution isn't less sports—it's SMARTER training.

At Hercules PPT, we create balanced development programs that include:

-Periodized training with built-in recovery
-Cross-training to prevent repetitive stress
-Load monitoring to catch warning signs early

Your athlete should be getting better, not more broken.

"As a physical therapist myself, I am extremely picky about who I choose to evaluate my own injuries. I had been able to treat myself for many years for SI joint issues. Unfortunately in January, I came to a point where I needed a more objective opinion because my condition had worsened to the point where I could not participate in sport/fitness activities I loved, walk a reasonable distance, play with my young daughter or even sit on the floor. This was impacting my quality of life but also my potential to work in my chosen field. Alec is professional, honest, evidence-based and backs up his opinions/knowledge with measurable data. The program he established started from the basics and essentially got me moving again. He listens to feedback and tweaks the program as needed, is vested in your personal goals and respectful of your time. I can't speak highly enough of his services and would recommend him to anyone needing to resolve an injury and improve your function and performance."

Your teen is putting in the work—but are they recovering like an elite athlete?

Most young athletes focus on MORE: more reps, more practices, more games. But without proper sleep, stress management, and nutrition, that "more" leads to burnout, plateaus, and injuries.

At Hercules PPT, we build performance programs that prioritize SMART training—not just hard training.

-Sleep protocols for muscle repair
-Stress management strategies
-Nutrition plans tailored to training load

Recovery is where the magic happens. Let's make sure your athlete isn't leaving gains on the table.

"Dr. Spano's program has me feeling better than I have in years. I still have some minor tightness in my hip so I meet with him once a month for in-person workouts and he programs my other workouts. I see improvement every week and I feel stronger than I have in years."

Sometimes the problem isn't obvious. Our assessment revealed strength imbalances and form issues that required a systematic 10-week plan. This client continues to improve with ongoing monthly check-ins and feels stronger than ever.

"It's been 5 weeks since we first went to Dr. Alec Spano and my sons back on the soccer field felling strong and confident."

When this 14-year-old competitive soccer player injured his MCL, we created a comprehensive plan combining weekly in-person sessions with twice-weekly home training through our app. Result: back on the field in 5 weeks.

Your young athlete deserves this level of support. Book a discovery call to get started - https://hubs.ly/Q03DQfWD0

"I have seen huge improvements in both my elbows. Additionally, my strength and physical conditioning have not only rebounded from where I was before my injury; but I have exceeded my pre-injury state."

This client's elbow issues could have ended their favorite activities. Instead, our alternative exercise options allowed healing while maintaining their active lifestyle, resulting in strength that exceeded pre-injury levels.

Eat for performance, even in rehab

Recovery isn't just about rest—it's about giving your body the right fuel to rebuild stronger. Here's how nutrition can accelerate your comeback:
- Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Reduce swelling and speed healing
- Protein Power: Build stronger, more resilient tissue
- Strategic Timing: When you eat matters as much as what you eat

Our clients cut their recovery time just by optimizing their nutrition during rehab.

Ready to fuel your comeback? Let's create a nutrition plan that accelerates your healing.
