OUR INSTRUCTOR
CYNTHIA b. ALMONTE
Being raised in Africa and having lived in 4 different continents, Cynthia’s exposure to diversity has been the foundation for her philosophy on life and wellness. She is a firm believer in the body’s ability to create change at a cellular level if provided with the right environment including correct exercises and a positive mindset. She and her husband, both black belts in Jiu-jitsu reside in Riverside, California with their 10 year old son. Together they also own a Brazilian jiu-jitsu Academy in Corona, California.
Spent the next 7 years building her private practice in Vermont, focusing on spine related injuries. During this time she volunteered with a non-profit organization named Foundation of Orthopedics and Complex Spine, traveling to Africa twice a year with a team of volunteer scoliosis surgeons who performed surgery on patients with up to 100 degree curves.
Because of this experience she developed a strong interest in the field of scoliosis and became a Basic Level 1 (C1) certified Schroth therapist in 2015.
Completed the Advanced Level 2 (C2) Certified SchrothTM Therapist in 2016 through the Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School specializing in the treatment of patients with scoliosis.
She and her family moved to southern California and she opened her private practice in 2016 focusing solely on the treatment of scoliosis. Her practice continues to grow serving people with scoliosis both locally and online.

Cynthia had so much energy and you could tell she was passionate about what she does and wants it to be done right.
As much as I love massage, I will always call Cindy first. In my experience, she tends to help me get to the solution as opposed to more temporary relief. Thank you Cindy!
My 15 yr and my 13 yr girls both have scoliosis. The first 6 months my 15 yr old's curve went from a 26 degree to 18 degree. It was money well spent.
