Gilbert Pena

Bridging the gap between fitness and physical therapy!

Sometimes, parts of us cease to function as they should. When it is a part of your body that is keeping you from what you love, frustration builds, stress increases, and the problem is often exacerbated. Soft tissue therapies can help!

I am passionate about bringing people back to full function, and the modalities that I specialize in and  the tools that I use to do just that.  They are:  Active Release, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Sports Massage.

Gilbert was very knowledgeable on every facet of my complaint! It was very refreshing to feel the amount of relief I felt after just one visit!

Incredibly skilled and learned practitioner, Gil has helped several members of my family. In particular he has helped me whenever I have a fibromyalgia flare.

Very Thankful to Gil @ Restore 2 Function for helping my daughter with her recovery. He is professional, kind and very knowledgeable.

As an equestrian, I sought out Gil’s services to help identify the causes of multiple issues in the saddle. Gil did a fantastic job identifying my asymmetries, areas of weakness, and imbalances during our assessment. In fact, he did such a great job that we immediately added an integrated bodywork session to release facial adhesions in multiple areas on the spot. I’m very impressed with Gil and look forward to future sessions to learn how to return my body to proper functioning and enhance my riding abilities!

I have a messed up shoulder and some lower back issues when weightlifting. He took the time to go over everything in detail and work on finding the muscles causing the issue as well as exercises to resolve it. It definitely helped me out and would recommend here.
