Mr. Cardona is a distinguished expert in sports massage and sports recovery, recognized for his innovative approach to enhancing athletic performance through personalized recovery plans. As the founder of Elite Healers Sports Massage, he has dedicated the past five years to managing the overall operations of the company, maintaining client relationships and preparing for expansion. His leadership has been instrumental in transitioning the business to a larger space, hiring new staff and developing a high-performing team.

Mr. Cardona's commitment to excellence is evident as he focuses on client communications and organization while training his staff to excel without his direct involvement in day-to-day operations. He was initially inspired to enter the wellness industry by a childhood experience. Born with a deformed hip that manifested at age 11, he underwent hip reshaping surgery and feared he might no longer be athletic. Despite the likelihood of arthritis from his teenage years onward, he was determined to defy the odds. Instead of becoming sedentary, he adopted a mindset of recovery and activity, becoming his own first patient.

Mr. Cardona's career began at Equinox in 2007, where he worked as a personal trainer for nearly a decade. During this time, he earned his massage therapy license and recognized the importance of integrating recovery into fitness practices.

In 2016, he interned as a massage therapist at Joffrey Ballet and Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, further honing his skills in therapeutic massage. From 2017 to 2019, he served as an adjunct professor at ASA College, sharing his expertise with aspiring professionals before assuming his current position.

Educationally, Mr. Cardona completed coursework in occupational science and massage therapy at Pacific College of Health and Science in 2016. He also holds a diploma in personal training from the American Academy of Personal Training and a bachelor's degree from Hunter College.

Furthering his expertise, Mr. Cardona is a functional movement screen certified by FMS Functional Movement Screen and is certified in group fitness and boot camp instruction, personal training and self-myofascial coaching techniques. He is also a senior fitness specialist with Exercise Etc. Inc. and is certified to train pregnant and postpartum clients by Annette Lang Education Systems. Beyond his qualifications, he is most proud of watching his clients recover faster and perform better in their endeavors.

Mr. Cardona's resilience and spirituality have been pivotal in overcoming challenges and unlocking his leadership potential. He attributes much of his success to the foundation laid by his parents and his faith guiding him through tough times. His professional achievements have been recognized by top publications and influential podcasts, highlighting his impact on the wellness industry. Notably, he was featured on TED-Ed, in the talk "Elite Healers Sports Massage: Unlock Peak Performance, Muscle and Fitness" and in the Forbes article "3 Post-Summer Travel Beauty and Wellness Treatments."

Beyond his professional endeavors, Mr. Cardona has been actively involved with civic-minded organizations, such as Sokka Gakkai International USA from 2006 to 2012, where he served in security. He is also associated with the Chamber of Commerce and volunteers through his local church.
