Walking into Cindy's office, you won't be surprised to see New York Yankees memorabilia - to include several shots of Derek Jeter - and Florida Gator’s logos. Her love for sports and staying active has enabled her to strive for excellence in her career as a physical therapy assistant and clinic manager.

Q: What is your business and what kinds of things do you provide for the community?
A: I am employed with Fit For Life Physical Therapy and SIMED Physical Therapy as a Therapist and Clinic Manager. We provide quality one on one Physical Therapy from a hands on manual based approach. We treat various orthopedic disorders, post-operative rehab such as joint replacements, rotator cuff repairs and spinal surgeries, gait and balance disorders, vertigo and woman's health, just to name a few. Along with quality physical therapy care, education to our patients is an integral part of our process. By taking the time with them to explain the issues we have found, our approach is aimed to help them return to function and lifelong tools to maintain their gains they have made in therapy is essential.
Q: What does Ocala mean to you?
A: To me, 0cala is a melting pot. We have a very diverse community here which makes working with people even more enjoyable. We have the locals that grew up here, those who are here after retiring from the north, and people of all ages that are moving from South Florida looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the southern cities.
Q: What most prominent quality makes a successful leader?
A: My proactive approach and leading by example. Customer service is key. Spending time with patients is key. I try to make my patients feel like they are part of our family versus just a number and hope that my staff recognizes that and follows my lead.
Q:What advice would you give to young professionals?
A: Don't stop learning once you graduate. To me, the learning process of treating patients just begins when you start employment. Utilize your veteran peers for continued knowledge, skills and growth.
Q: What do you envision for the future?
A: Continued growth for our company. Great things are to come on the horizon!
Q:What is your favorite verse or quote?
A: "lmpossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. lt's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.“ -Muhammad Ali
Q: What makes you different from other businesses or other people in your field?
A: Our one on one approach. You will not just be brought in to our clinic, put in a room on modalities then transferred out to our gym to perform an unsupervised exercise program.
