Larry Hernandez.

You are not after another opinion. You are after an answer.

Most people who end up in front of Larry have already tried something. Rest. A round of therapy that felt rushed. A referral that ended in a shrug.

The pain is still there. And now there is a second problem stacked on top of it: you have quietly stopped believing anyone is going to figure this out.

That is the exact patient Larry built this clinic for.

How he actually works

Larry starts with the cause, not the sore spot. Over 20 years of clinical experience taught him that the place that hurts is often not the place that failed.

He uses SFMA and FMS movement assessment to see how you really move. Soft tissue mobilization and dry needling when the tissue is the problem. Loading and progression when strength is the problem. Then he tells you what he found and why the plan looks the way it does, so you are not guessing between visits.

He treats shoulder pain, low back pain, knee pain, sports-related injuries, and chronic pain that has not improved with traditional physical therapy. He also enjoys helping active adults stay mobile, strong, and independent.

What to expect if you see Larry

The first visit is a conversation before it is a treatment. What happened, what you have already tried, and what you are actually trying to get back to.

Then a cause-first evaluation, a plain explanation of what he found, and a plan with an endpoint. You will know which phase you are in, Pain, Prime, Perform or Prevent, and what has to happen before the next one.

Nobody here is rushed. That is the part Larry protects most: enough time to listen, explain, and build a plan that makes sense for your goals rather than the schedule.

What he brings to it

Larry grew up in a small town, and those values stayed with him: honesty, respect, and genuine care. Faith is the foundation of his life and it shapes how he treats people. He believes in staying humble and always learning, because a better understanding leads to better care.

“The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.” Proverbs 29:25

At home it is his wife Jen and their daughter Hannah, and the family fosters. When he is not in the clinic, he is usually on a pickleball court or in a CrossFit class.

Come tell him what is going on

You are the one everyone else leans on. Which is exactly why you have put this off, and exactly why you are still reading. Waiting it out another six months is six months you do not get back.

Schedule an appointment and talk it through with Larry. If he is not the right person for what you have, he will tell you who is.
