Cindy - Owner, Hands On Sports Therapy Cindy's journey into sports therapy began with a splash. At 12, as a competitive swimmer, she experienced the magic of sports massage before a major meet. That moment transformed her performance and ignited a passion that would shape her life. Armed with a degree from Ohio College of Massotherapy and advanced training from the Sports Massage Therapy Institute in California, Cindy learned from the best. She studied under Doug Nelson, a neuromuscular therapy pioneer, and Dr. Myk Hungerford, who introduced sports massage to the US Olympic team in 1984. But Cindy's expertise isn't just academic. As a triathlete conquering distances from sprints to Ironman, and a modern pentathlete, she's lived the athlete's journey. This unique blend of professional knowledge and personal experience allows her to craft treatments that truly resonate with her clients' needs. Cindy's skills have taken her beyond her private practice. She's worked with the Hy-Vee Triathlon, AAA Iowa Cubs, Team USATF, and ISU Athletics, supporting athletes at all levels. One of her proudest moments? Helping an aging baseball player rediscover his pitching velocity in his final season - a testament to the power of her work.
