About us

Nelly Hernandez, PT

I am a passionate physical therapist who owns and found Physiosynergy. I graduated from PT school at Central University of Venezuela in 2012 where my thesis got an honorable mention.

I founded my first practice in Valle de la Pascua- Venezuela- where I worked for three years before moving to the US. I overcame different obstacles including, learning English and passing my board examination since I moved. During this time, I worked as a tech and as a front desk in a PT practice until I obtained my PT license in 2019 and I started to practice again.

My special interest includes the treatment of cervical and low back pain, spinal disorders, sports injuries, manual therapy, and solving complex patient cases that have failed other treatment approaches.

I live in Arlington, VA, and enjoy promoting a healthy lifestyle, practicing indoor cycling, fishing, and spending time with my family.
