Connor Hesselbirg

A Bit About Me

Connor has been part of the Finish Line Physical Therapy team for over three years, helping runners and athletes bounce back stronger. Originally from Kings Park, NY, he now lives on Long Island but has plenty of love for Central Park — his favorite NYC spot to log miles.

​

A marathoner himself, Connor has run various marathons including Boston, Chicago, and the NYC Marathon. After a meniscus repair in 2022, he knows firsthand what it takes to recover and come back smarter. That experience fuels his passion for guiding others through rehab and training with care and expertise.

​

Before becoming a physical therapist, Connor coached high school cross country alongside his mentor, shaping his approach to both movement and motivation. When he’s not running or helping patients, Connor enjoys hiking with friends and unwinding with his wife and his dog Bentley.
