Kevin Duniho, LMT
I am currently a Doctor of Physical Therapy student at the University of Vermont in Burlington, VT.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from Western State College of Gunnison, Colorado with an emphasis in exercise physiology. Expanding on my education, I became a certified personal trainer and certified cycling coach. I became acquainted with massage as an aid to bicycle racing. I chose The Muscular Therapy Institute (MTI) in Cambridge, MA because of their strong program and excellent reputation. As a result, I have more than 3000 hours of instructional training in the area of human movement and bodywork. I have worked with the Harvard Swim Team, The MTI Sports Massage Team, at spas and for myself for over 10 years. I also taught kinesiology in the massage therapy program at North Country Community College in Saranac Lake, NY.
Another important aspect of my life is the invaluable learning experience I had about the physiology of exercise and psychology of athletes. Throughout my bicycle and nordic ski racing career, I experienced things about my body and mind that can’t be taught. I won several state championships, competed in several collegiate national championships, and rode my bicycle across the country. I continue to ride my bicycles non-competitively, snowboard, kayak, hike, and ski.
