About

Victor Hernandez, PT, DPT

I am a licensed physical therapist in New York and Connecticut with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and competed as a collegiate soccer player, giving me a unique perspective on athletic performance, injury recovery, and rehabilitation.

As a former international soccer player and current coach, I understand the physical and mental demands of sport firsthand. That experience continues to shape my approach to rehabilitation and performance, allowing me to connect with clients through both clinical expertise and lived experience.

I have extensive experience treating individuals across the lifespan—from youth athletes to older adults—and specialize in movement optimization, biomechanics, physical performance, and injury prevention.

I founded Empower Rehab and Performance to provide intentional, goal-centered care through one-on-one physical therapy and small group performance training without compromising quality. My mission is to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance, helping every client not only recover from injury but return to sport, work, and everyday life stronger, more confident, and better prepared for the demands ahead.
