Hercules Performance and Physical Therapy
Where fitness meets one-on-one doctor-level treatment. We bridge the gap from injury to playing your favorite sports or other active endeavors without pain holding you back.
When you walk into Hercules, you will notice an upbeat energy with the perfect union of a physical therapy clinic and gym. You will be treated by one, and only one, doctor of physical therapy for a full hour during your time here. Your goals are the main focus during your session.
You won’t find this level of attention and detailed treatment in most PT clinics or even most gyms for that matter. We want you to feel safe and priority number one —always! You will never just go off and do your exercises like most clinics. Our goal is to make this the best hour of your day!
Meet your Hercules Performance Team
Dr. Alec Spano PT, DPT, CSCS, Cert DN, PN
Owner, Sports Performance Physical Therapist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, Dry Needling Specialist, and Certified Nutrition Specialist
Dr. Alec is the lead clinician and owner of Hercules. He is a University of Florida alumnus, achieving a bachelors in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology and a doctorate in Physical Therapy. During his career, he has specialized in orthopedic and sports physical therapy and has worked with top level athletes in the NFL, NBA, and MLB to return to sport.
Dr. Alec’s passion for athletic performance, movement, and recovery began at an early age. He grew up as an avid baseball player, playing for St Thomas Aquinas High School and the University of Florida club baseball team. While cross training for baseball, he discovered his passion for CrossFit. He has competed in the CrossFit Games Open, Quarterfinals and the Occupational Games. He continues to train in various functional fitness methodologies pursuing lifelong fitness and health.
He started his own company because he was tired of his treatment being dictated by the big corporate insurance companies, not by patients’ and athletes’ goals. At Hercules Performance and Physical Therapy, you will spend 100% of your time with our expert clinicians in a 60+ minute session utilizing highly refined clinical reasoning supplemented by skilled exercise programming and manual therapy. Dr. Alec utilizes an integrated approach with considerations towards your mindset, goals, current athletic endeavorers, and personal needs. He will never tell you that you cannot do the things you love, whether that’s lifting heavy or playing golf. Rather, he will use his unique experiences and strong educational background to get you back to feeling and moving your best.
Our dedicated team truly understands how frustrating poor movement and injuries can be and we are committed to giving you the best care so that you can return to your sport without pain or fear of another injury.
We pride ourselves on giving athletes and active individuals the competitive edge.
