DR. RAY DEGLI, DPT
Ray Degli is one of the Dynamic Physical Therapy Residents in training for his Certification of Functional Manual Therapy. Ray’s strong interest and background in manual therapy led him to our program. He received his doctorate in Physical The.rapy from New York’s DYC Institution. His prior experiences in athletics and spinal issues led Ray to shadow and train with one of world’s top Bike Fit experts, Curtis Cramblett of Revolutions in Fitness. Ray is now partnering with 360BodyGears and doing unique Bike Fits to our clientele in our VisionQuest Chicago facility and our chicago clinic. He works with athletes to determine athletic goals, flexibility, strength, and core stability. He then assists cycling performance including pedal stroke and power output analysis. After a fitting, triathletes and cyclists spend hours without pain then generate more power with less effort because the body and the bike work together as a team.
Ray’s dedication to providing the best manual therapy techniques extends to his enthusiasm in the outdoors. His passion for hiking, hockey, sailing, and golfing have given him the appreciation and unique understanding in the importance of Physical Therapy in daily life. Ray made the move to Chicago specifically to work at Dynamic Physical Therapy and work alongside one of the nation’s most talented Manual Therapy team.
