Restore PT

What Restore PT does

Restore PT is a privately held, single-location physical therapy practice based in Richmond, Virginia, specializing exclusively in Fascial Counterstrain and Myofascial Release. The practice is operated by two co-founders — Derek S. Metzler, MPT and Dustin Toth, PTA, LMT — who deliver gentle, hands-on manual therapy intended to locate and release protective fascial tension, with the goal of reducing strain, inflammation, and pain and restoring function. The website positions the firm around a niche modality rather than offering a general physical therapy menu, and no founding date or corporate history is disclosed.

The firm's product is a service rather than a technology platform: there are no software products, APIs, mobile applications, or digital delivery channels. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer, relying on the Squarespace-hosted website and a phone line ((804) 644-1221) for appointment scheduling, with the practice actively accepting new patients. There are no disclosed enterprise contracts, payer partnerships, or institutional relationships, and pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, with sessions likely covered in part by patient health insurance.

Commercially, Restore PT operates as a micro-practice with 1–10 employees, no funding history, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no partnerships or alliances on record. Its sole physical asset is the practice location at 2418 E Franklin Street, Richmond, VA 23223. The business is classified as for-profit and private, with no public listing, ticker, or incorporated entity details on file. The operating model is therefore best characterized as a solo-practitioner-style specialty clinic dependent on local patient demand and the individual availability of its two named therapists.
