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.

A living testament to the benefits of alternative medicine, I started my career in human bodywork following a severe back injury that left me wheelchair bound, a functional "quad" due to nerve damage, and a chronic pain patient. Conventional medicine was unable to achieve much improvement, and I turned to alternative medicine, including massage and Yoga, to return my good health.

Born into an animal loving family, I began training dogs almost as soon as I could walk. As an adult, I became a horse trainer specializing in rehabilitating animals that had been traumatized and soon found that trust was re-established more quickly and the animals learned more easily when massage was included in their training program. Long before chiropractic and acupuncture were available in the animal field, I was performing massage on the animals in my care. After suffering a back injury, I attended Mueller College to retrain in massage therapy for humans. My sensitivity to changes in soft tissue and energy fields was honed by my work with animals; without the animals' ability to speak, I had to learn the language of their muscles.
Additional certifications: Reiki Master Teacher; heated stone massage; Asian fire cupping; craniosacral/myofascial; seated massage.
