During the 12th century Alchemists were considered the innovators of their time. They pushed the limits of science and theory, and through the art of transformation, changed elements into gold, sickness to health and ultimately making the ordinary, extraordinary.

Alchemy Body + Bike embodies the ideas of those 12th century innovators, offering an integrated approach through physical therapy and bike fitting to help transform the cyclist, skier, or weekend warrior to achieve their health goals, recover after injury and unlock their fullest potential.

Ray received his Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science from the University at Buffalo and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from D’Youville College. After graduate school, Ray was accepted into the Institute of Physical Art (IPA) Orthopedic Manual Therapy Residency Program at Chicago’s Body Gears PT clinic.

In 2012, Ray passed the Institute of Physical Arts Functional Manual Therapy Certification with Honors

During Ray’s time in Chicago he also worked as a PT and Bike Fitter for Robbie Venture’s Vision Quest Chicago. This is where his passion for working with cyclists and triathletes really ignited.

What People Are Saying

Testimonials

“I crashed mountain biking in the Steamboat Bike Park. As a result, I had my rotator cuff surgically repaired and went to Ray for post-surgery physical therapy. Ray’s approach went beyond traditional physical therapy by integrating strength work and manual therapy to increase my overall mechanical ability and strengthen my neck, back and core. If it wasn't for Ray’s expert and thorough care I wouldn't have been able to get back on my mountain bike as quickly as I did. He is incredible to work with and I would recommend him to anyone who needs this type of work or professional advice on bike-fitting and conditioning. He’s also one the nicest guys you’ll meet!”

“Ray has successfully rehabilitated me through three hip surgeries helping me to fully return to skiing and cycling. Part of Ray’s therapy was to identify and correct biomechanics that required retraining for peak efficiency and proper movement patterns which resulted in significant increases in wattage in cycling (from 175 to 205 in just a few weeks) and much more powerful and technical skiing.”

"It has been such a pleasure working with Ray for the last few years. I am a personal chef/caterer and the day to day work is really difficult on my body. I struggled to find someone that could address the pain and show lasting results. Ray has been able to address issues with my back, neck, elbow tendonitis, and knee pain.. His manual therapy skills have helped to keep me moving and his home exercises give me ways to help myself. I am even able to snowboard and fish with significantly less pain thanks to Ray's excellent care."
