Our Staff
Herman Wang
Physical Therapy Aide
(Chino Hills)
I grew up in West Covina but moved to Chino Hills when I started high school. I attended Cal State Fullerton where I received my bachelors in kinesiology. I grew up swimming from a young age and decided to play water polo as well when I entered high school. I’ve always been passionate and curious about the mechanics of the human body and it seemed natural to pursue a career in this field.
Experience: Prior to finishing my bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor every summer. I then began to dedicate my hours as a volunteer at a physical therapy clinic in Newport Beach. As I began to accumulate experience in the field, I was able to transition to Empower as an aide.
Working in a field such as this, my core values include compassion, integrity, competence, teamwork, and resilience. These values foster trust, professionalism, and excellence in this practice.

What do you do for the company?
As a physical therapy aide, my responsibilities include patient assistance, equipment management, facility organization, administrative support, and team collaboration. All of these allow me to support the physical therapists and physical therapy assistants in providing care to patients.
Something patients have to deal with that you want to fix?
For many patients, the hardest thing to do is to put a pause on things they enjoy doing in life. Being able to reduce their discomfort, and allowing them to work their way back into enjoying these things is something I’d like to focus on in this career path.
What do you like about working here?
I enjoy the support and collaborative environment here. The entire staff is dedicated to making a difference and it’s very motivating to work alongside other individuals who are just as passionate about what they do. There are always opportunities to learn and grow which makes me feel valued and helps me to improve everyday.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
During my off hours, including school, I am usually hiking, watching movies, or just spending quality time with friends and family.

If you’re looking for a physical therapy office
Empower physical therapy and wellness in Chino Hills Is a perfect choice.
After exhausting search and experience with other places for physical therapy, Empower Physical Therapy had earned my full confidence. I am a seventy two year old man in dire need to restore my strength through muscle rebuilding and strengthening. Initially, I didn’t know what to expect. However, during the initial assessment appointment, I was put to exercise and thorough evaluation of my physical abilities by Dr. Justin. During my therapy, other therapists rotated to provide me with their structured and well planned targeting of my muscle groups.
Physical therapy was well planned and executed. Additionally another doctor, Rossylyn, intervened to evaluate my physical response and incorporated additional targeted areas of my body. As for the therapists that executed the customized plan, Anthony, Herman, Kalea, Aurora, and Josh were top notch professionals in guidance in targeting my muscle groups. Their constant rotations during a single session kept me engaged at all times. In the meantime, the heroines of the front office have made my therapy possible.
Furthermore, Janet and Allison, the forefront image of the business side have accommodated my schedule with periodic emails and reminders, which I honestly needed.
A final word to those individuals seeking therapy, yet they are review junkies, go to this place without any hesitation. Search NO MORE. Best wishes to ALL.
