TESTIMONIALS
Just wanted to follow up and say “THANK YOU” for identifying my daughter Lauren issues with regards to her calf muscles always cramping up towards the end of her soccer games and even during cross country & track. Here I was just hoping it would get better by me saying eat more bananas and do more stretching. Of course those were good suggestions.However, it wasn’t until we visited with you and you immediately identified the situation. It took a few visits and Lauren has definitely benefited from your expertise. Thanks again for getting Lauren back on track and running pain free.
Best regards,
Mark
As I dancer, the stress injury to my hamstring severely limited my flexibility and ability to move freely. Someone once told me that this type of injury is for life, but obviously they had never heard of ART! The recovery I experienced with Anthony was truly amazing. He is a skilled engineer of the body, and knew exactly where the problem was and how to address it without harming the surrounding tissues. Today I'm almost back to 100% pre-injury status, and it's exhilarating to train to my full potential again. I would recommend ART as a must-try for anyone experiencing limited mobility or chronic pain due to injury.

Over the many years I’ve been a patient of the Athlete’s Edge, I’ve experienced relief from pain—the result of outdoor endeavors; gym workouts; or simply the tensions of sitting at my workspace. In addition to the treatment of specific injuries, I have a greater sense of well-being and calm; as well as, enhanced mobility.

“I love to run, bike, windsurf and ski.”
Unfortunately, since I’ve turned 40, injuries have become more of an obstacle often preventing me from doing the things I want to do. Since being referred to Anthony by the Stanford Medical Center for a hamstring injury, I have found his skill to be invaluable to keeping me going with my athletic endeavors.
His knowledge of the different parts of the human body and how they can be impacted by injuries is simply unbelievable as is his ability to find and treat the affected areas. He’s my go to guy whenever any kind of injury starts to affect me. If it wasn’t for Anthony, I’d be spending a lot more time on the injured reserve list and a lot less time doing my sports.
Highly Recommended!!!

After one frustrating year of Achilles pain, multiple visits to doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists; I discovered ART and Anthony. He put me back in my running shoes in a couple of weeks, and few months later I was breaking new personal bests. I don’t know how he does it, but it works; when I speak about my recovery to my friends, I tell them that I met a magician! “

“Anthony is amazing! I came to him for help with an Achilles injury from running and he not only cured it, but got rid of built up scar tissue that I thought would never go away. I have been seeing him regularly for the past five years and could not run marathons and half marathons without him. He’s helped me with chronic ITB pain, bulging discs in my back, and a host of other running related injuries. I am able to run 50 miles a week thanks to Anthony and ART. He’s great! I have recommended him to at least a dozen friends and everyone has thanked me for the recommendation.”

Anthony Gilbert, from The Athlete’s Edge, is the most trustworthy, knowledgeable, educated and talented Active Release therapist I know. His hands have the power to heal your body in the most amazing ways. The touch is gentle yet thorough, soft yet successful. I am a dental hygienist who Anthony has helped in numerous ways. No more carpal tunnel pain, and no more lower back pain. The treatment was effective and performed in a short amount of time.
Anthony has had the most profound influence and positive effect on my body, spirit and mind. Thank you for your dedication to healing through active release therapy. I will continue to cherish your gift by referring more friends and family to your practice.”

I have been receiving sports massage therapy from Anthony Gilbert for
over 17 years. He has helped me recover from countless running
injuries including hamstrings, calves, hips, knees and several other
weak links. His deep tissue massage and ART have allowed me recover
sooner and prevent my minor problems from becoming acute. I have
recommend Anthony to many people in search of an answer to that
nagging pain that won't go away. Anthony employs his expertise and
intuitiveness to do the right massage on an individual basis. I turned
60 this past year and continue to turn to Anthony to keep me running.

Anthony Gilbert and the ART he provides has been instrumental in keeping me free from injury and maintaining my body in peak condition. My workouts, practice and tournament performance all benefit from being in a healthy and balanced state. Anthony is also very professional and knowledgeable. He continually improves his training and education so I know that I am getting the best available treatment.

Anthony has been a great help in troubleshooting my hip, calf, and IT band problems. Being a true athlete gives Anthony real insight into providing optimal therapy and really enhances his ART treatments.

To Whom It May Concern: I have known Anthony Gilbert professionally for more than 15 years. His work is thorough and diligent. In fact, Anthony has helped me immensely with my personal musculoskeletal problems. He has extensive knowledge about specialized physical therapy techniques (active release therapy and other physical massage techniques) and human anatomy. Anthony’s work compliments the efforts of more traditional medical therapies such as medicine, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Developing and maintaining excellent working relationships with his clients and the more traditional medical establishments has been key to Anthony’s ongoing successes. He does not overstep the scope of practice or state that any one technique is the answer to the exclusion of other approaches. Anthony is an excellent educator as evidenced by his approach of bringing his clients into the process of managing their posture, stretches and other routines. He imparts useful knowledge to his clients so they can better manage their musculoskeletal issues. He also validates clients’ personal responsibility, thus having a positive impact on their wellbeing. Anthony’s expertise, enthusiasm and motivational style are appropriate for educating individuals, as well as, school and corporate personnel. In summary, Anthony Gilbert fills a niche left over by the more traditional therapies. There is a place for traditional physical therapy or medication or physician intervention such as steroid injections, acute care, etc. There are other circumstances, especially, with many minor nagging aches and pains, where he can fill the void after the more serious problems have been resolved, or, before they become debilitating.
Sincerely,

I came to Anthony out of desperation. After experiencing constant lower back pain over a six-week period, even after seeking medical advice and treatment, I was referred to Anthony Gilbert by a golfing buddy who said he had a similar problem years ago and was successfully treated by him in one visit. Despite my skepticism, at that point I was willing to try anything. About 45 minutes into my session, suddenly I felt instant relief. I could not believe it. Since then I have referred over 25 people to Anthony. If I had only known sooner!!!

Thank you for your healing energy, knowledge and compassion. You’ve given me back my hands and my legs and the feeling that I can “fly” again. I will be forever grateful.
