|
|
Cindy Furey started Comprehensive Therapy Services, Inc. (CTS) twelve years ago with a dream and an entrepreneurial vision for a one-stop shop for comprehensive physical and mental well-being for patients. After graduating from Northwestern University Physical Therapy in 1990, Cindy relocated to San Diego to pursue her PT passion and in 1997 Comprehensive Therapy Services was born!
During the past 12 years, Cindy’s courage, leadership and dedication to her patients, employees and ethical business practices have paved her way for success and CTS is now widely considered one of the premier physical therapy clinics in the Southwestern United States for Women's and Pelvic Health. Through education in preventative strategies and a proactive, manual treatment approach, Cindy’s goals are to minimize discomfort, expedite recovery and restore and enhance function with each of her patients.
One of Cindy’s main goals for her staff is to foster professional education to keep abreast of the latest research and techniques. It is her priority to provide the means and time to her staff to take classes and grow in their respective areas and to share this information staff wide on a regular basis.
Cindy's own ongoing education in the areas of orthopedics, women's health, and pelvic floor is extensive and she loves to learn and to share her knowledge with patients, other practitioners, doctors and friends. Here in San Diego, she works as guest professor at the University of St. Augustine Physical Therapy Program, partners in national research projects, educates the fellows in physical therapy options for clients, and participates in grand rounds with UCSD Pelvic Medicine and the Naval Medical Center San Diego-Balboa on a regular basis. She is a member of the American Physical Therapy Association Section on Women's Health, International Pelvic Pain Society, National Vulvodynia Association, and Vulvar Pain Foundation. She is the proud mama of a 3 year-old daughter with her husband and she manages to stay healthy with running, cycling, Pilates and taking a deep breath as often as she can.
