Onyx Performance was built out of frustration with the typical rehab experience. Too often, therapy becomes a checklist. The same exercises are given regardless of the person or their goals, and activity is avoided instead of gradually rebuilt. Many people leave feeling better, yet unprepared to actually train again.
The system measures success as pain reduction, not readiness to return to activity. That gap is where reinjury and frustration happen. There is also confusion around what physical therapy and performance training actually are. It is not a heat pack and passive treatment, and training is not random exercises at the gym hoping something works. Progress requires a clear plan and purpose.
Onyx Performance approaches rehabilitation and training differently. Plans are not templates or generic programs. Each plan is built with clinical reasoning and adapted to the individual. The objective is to meet people where they are, whether that means getting out of pain, returning to lifting, preparing for sport, or building long-term resilience. Treatment or training is built around the individual, not a protocol.
Exercises are selected with purpose, progressions are planned, and activity is modified rather than removed whenever possible. No cookie cutter programs (no generic bridges or clamshells, unless appropriate). Just a clear path back to doing what you enjoy and doing it better than before.
Not just resolving pain — building resilience, movement confidence, and long-term performance.
Originally born in Chicago and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, Vincent is a physical therapist and strength coach who helps active individuals rehabilitate injuries and continue training without recurring setbacks.
He has worked with high school, collegiate, and professional athletes across track & field, football, basketball, and volleyball, as well as lifters and active adults. He frequently works with tendinopathies and has extensive experience treating post-Achilles and ACL rehabilitation, calf and hamstring strains, sport-related shoulder injuries, knee pain, and low back pain.
His focus is not only resolving pain, but improving resilience, movement confidence, and long-term performance. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from The University of Texas at Austin, where an early interest in biomechanics led him away from engineering and toward health & wellness.
He then completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences - Austin, TX. He also holds certifications in strength and conditioning through the NSCA and in dry needling. In his own free time, Vincent enjoys cooking, exploring Houston’s food scene, following sports, listening to R&B, and spending time with his significant other, loved ones, and his two cats.
