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.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Wellness services

by George on May 30
I had recurring back pain. After my session with Gilbert, I was feeling much better. He explained what he was doing and why as the session progressed. He gave me a couple of stretching exercises to help prevent a recurrence. It is been over a week and I have been doing the stretches he suggested and they have helped. If you participate in CrossFit sessions, you are going to get sore and occasionally get pain. When you do, go see Gilbert for immediate relief and long-term improvement.

Gilbert Pena is an experienced, extremely knowledgeable therapist. He listens and provides the exercises to aid the restoration 2 function process. I highly recommend Gilbert as the only therapist I use to restore my ability to function. I travel from Charlotte, North Carolina for my therapy.
