Cindy McGuire has been dedicated to helping athletes achieve their goals for over 20 years. A former competitive swimmer, Cindy’s passion for sports therapy began at age 12, inspired by her own experience with sports massage improving performance before a major swim meet. That moment sparked a lifelong dream of working with professional and Olympic athletes.

Cindy’s career started with a degree from the Ohio College of Massotherapy, where she studied under Doug Nelson, a leader in neuromuscular therapy. She expanded her education at the Sports Massage Therapy Institute in California, learning from the trailblazing Dr. Myk Hungerford, who introduced sports massage to the Olympics. Cindy carries forward Dr. Hungerford’s legacy of excellence, precision, and care.

Since founding Hands On Sports Therapy, Cindy has combined her expertise with personal experience as an athlete, competing in triathlons from sprint to Ironman distances. Her journey has shaped her understanding of injury prevention, recovery, and performance, allowing her to create customized treatment programs for athletes at all levels.

In addition to her private practice, Cindy has worked with the Hy-Vee Triathlon and the AAA Iowa Cubs, supporting amateur and professional athletes alike. One of her cherished moments was helping a baseball player improve his pitching velocity in his final season, a testament to the transformative power of sports massage.

Cindy remains deeply committed to her mission: helping athletes achieve their potential through intentional, focused care. Whether on the triathlon course, in the clinic, or at the ballpark, her passion for learning and understanding the human body continues to drive her work.
