About The Practitioner

About Me:

Hi!

My name is Nate Cuddihy-Garner, and I created Play4Life from an extensive background in massage therapy, athletics, martial arts, and personal training.  I have a Master's degree in Human Movement Science through the Arizona School of Health Sciences (www.atsu.edu), and NASM Certifications as a Corrective Exercise and Performance Enhancement Specialist (www.nasm.org).  I hold a Reiki Level 2 Certification (www.reiki.org), and am also certified as a 2nd Degree Black Belt and instructor through the Kajukenbo Association of America (www.kajukenbo.org).

My practice has included working in Integrated Medical Offices, Physical Therapy and Occupational Medicine Clinics, as well as Sports Performance Centers.  I continue to practice and teach clinical/orthopedic and sports massage therapy, which I have done for over 20 years in both Seattle, WA and Boulder, CO.  I am a Continuing Education provider for manual therapy techniques, and also an Associate Professor at the Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder.  In addition to massage, I also work one-on-one with individual clients, giving corrective exercise guidance to compliment hands on treatments.

With a passion for the combined benefits of massage therapy and personal training, it is my desire to help you create and maintain an ability to Play4Life!
