Dr. Maglaque grew up as an athlete and recovered from knee surgery at a young age, which immediately sparked her interest in Physical Therapy and began her career in injury rehabilitation and prevention.
She has 16+ years of experience treating a diverse population of clients, ranging from those who’ve undergone surgery or are recovering from injury to elite and Olympic-level athletes.
Before moving to Westfield, New Jersey, Dr. Maglaque lived in San Francisco for nearly a decade, where she found Pilates to be the perfect complement to musculoskeletal healing and recovery.
By blending Physical Therapy, functional exercise, and Pilates-based principles, she ensures that her clients reach their goals with safe and manageable plans. Dr. Maglaque enjoys continually learning new treatment methods and incorporating evidence-based interventions into her practice, allowing her to help clients achieve optimal health and wellness.
