A passionat therapist who is constantly learning to offer the best possible care.

Hello!

My name is Vince Scuderi. I have been a licensed massage therapist for going on 5 years now and recently completed my ND degree at Bastyr University in WA and moved to Arizona just recently. My passion for healing and guiding others towards total optimization is what drives my dedication daily. Let me join you on the path to healing, offering a holistic experience that goes beyond alleviating physical discomfort.

Graduated from PT school in Warsaw – Poland in 1991. In US since 1992. Since then completed over 100 continuing education courses in Manual Therapy. Founded CtS Physical Therapy in 2002 and 3D Functional Wellness in 2023. Certified Gluten-Free Practitioner. Graduate of Functional Medicine Fast Track program for healthcare practitioners.

Lindsey has been a Physical Therapist for 20 years now. She has experience with many different techniques and tools but counterstrain is far superior to anything she has learned over the years. True healing is possible for nearly anyone when you tap into the body’s own ability to heal itself. If you are curious as to the healing powers give counterstrain a try!

I have been in private outpatient orthopedic practice since 1998. I approach every patient as a unique individual and seek to find the best treatments that will help resolve their problem. Fascial counterstrain has been a game-changer for me as it has opened an area of dysfunction that was previously not addressed as part of my treatment interventions. As my tool box of fascial counterstrain systems as expanded, I find that the results are more dramatic with my patients. Patients who have had traditional PT interventions are amazed at the results when fascial counterstrain is employed and they always remark how gentle yet effective this treatment approach has been. I look forward to more courses and greater improvement in my own skill set.
