CARING

Welcome to First Ray Physical Therapy and Pilates Studio in Lynbrook, NY! At First Ray, we are dedicated to providing a warm and welcoming space where you can work toward your wellness goals in a safe and enjoyable way.  We move away from the “no pain, no gain” mentality. Instead, we offer encouragement and guidance to allow for thoughtful progression.

 

Our one-on-one physical therapy sessions are tailored to the individual patient.  We bring decades of experience and continued learning to support your healing journey. With a holistic approach to treatment, we consider the entire individual and their story to guide the treatment.

 

Creating a positive movement experience is our primary focus during the group exercise classes. The classes are kept small intentionally, with the goal of ensuring that each participant receives proper attention.  We also prioritize fun, variety, and safety, with modifications being offered to participants with unique needs. In addition to our general offerings, we also provide classes geared to special populations.

 

For those seeking convenience and a premium experience, we offer a concierge wellness service, bringing Pilates and Physical Therapy directly to your doorstep or workplace through our mobile luxury Pilates studio and Physical Therapy clinic. Many of our classes and services are available in this flexible, on-the-go format, allowing you to enjoy wellness where you are.

 

Whether you are looking to advance your fitness or help with recovery, we are here for you.

Magdalina offers one-on-one clinical Pilates sessions, which incorporate physical therapy principles. She's a certified mat and apparatus Rehabilitation Pilates instructor through Poleastar.

The clinical Pilates sessions are precise, appropriately challenging, and tailored to individual rehab goals, such as strengthening core muscles, stabilizing the spine, improving posture, while also improving overall body strength and flexibility.
