"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.

Why Strength Alone Isn’t Enough for Bone Health as You Age

Most lifters over 40–50 crush it in the gym with strength training — but many still miss a critical piece of the puzzle for bone strength: dynamic loading.

- Research shows that adding hops, skips, jumps, or multidirectional impact creates unique stress on the bone that simple lifting alone can’t.
- These forces help bones stay dense and resilient, especially at the hips — where fractures later in life can be devastating.
- Without it, even the best “longevity” lifting routines may fall short.

💡 Takeaway:
-Add dynamic load — think hops, skips, or multidirectional jumps 2–3x/week. (This has a range depending on starting point...new exercisers shouldn't start with depth jumps like the last video)
- Protect your future self by training for bone adaptation, not just muscle.
