Cynthia Almonte - Physical Therapist in Northern Vermont

Cynthia Almonte is an extraordinary physical therapist who works for Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Vermont, and also has her own physical therapy and personal training practice in St. Albans. Before moving to Vermont in 2004, she worked for several years at the Beth Israel Spine Institute in New York City, and continues to expand on her physical therapy skills through continuing education classes.

Cindy practices "functional mobilization," which seeks to cure injuries by addressing structural, neuromuscular, and motor control dysfunctions. She is very smart and intuitive, having done more to help the nerve damage in my shoulder in the last few months than any of the doctors, specialists and physical therapists that I have seen over the last three years. Instead of just focusing on my diagnosis, Cindy looked at my injury holistically and carefully examined all of the areas surrounding my shoulder to figure out what other factors were contributing to my problem. It turns out tightness and misalignment in other parts of my body were not allowing my shoulder to heal. By working on those areas, I've been slowly recovering and feeling significantly less pain.

If you live in the Burlington Vermont area and are in need of a physical therapist, I strongly recommend contacting Cindy.
