History

Established in 1984.

Anthony Gilbert is the owner and founder of The Athlete’s Edge, based in San Mateo, California. He has been in private practice since 1984. Having extensive expertise in work– and posture-​related biomechanical problems, Anthony works with each individual to ensure pain-​free daily activities.

Anthony works with both professional and amateur athletes, including Olympic athletes, triathletes, football players, baseball players, bodybuilders, and dancers. He understands the effort and discipline it takes to train consistently and remain injury-​free, and he appreciates how difficult it is to be sidelined. He works with each athlete to optimize performance and limit down time from injuries.

Anthony also works with fitness enthusiasts and «corporate athletes» (anyone who has chronic pain that affects them at work or home) in order to regain the quality of life compromised by overuse injuries.
