I came to Zenith PT for a long standing structural issue after completing long walks like the Camino Santiago (400+ miles) and a recent half-marathon. While we are just starting this journey, the progress has been substantial and I am very happy with Dr. Mike Robinson's approach. It is methodical and gradual. Their website makes it easy to remember the exercises, with the videos, and to keep on track. This is a beneficial partnership in which I am learning how to better take care of myself for sustained results. I highly recommend this group.

I had a great experience at Zenith! Mariel, Mike, and everyone else were incredibly helpful in getting me back to running after a bout of Achilles tendinitis. I felt like the workouts and feedback Mariel gave me were unique to my circumstances and the personal touch seemed to make the recovery go much more smoothly. 5/5 would definitely recommend Zenith Performance to anyone looking for a PT!

I’m not exaggerating when I say Dr. Mariel Hammond saved my life. I was feeling really discouraged about an ankle injury that hadn’t healed well, even after physical therapy elsewhere, and I thought it was too far gone for me to resume activities I loved without giving me intense pain. From our very first session, Mariel gave me hope—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, and I had reduced pain and increased mobility right away. Her mix of hands-on tissue manipulation and customized, progressive exercises has made running feel possible again, something I had totally given up on. I’m also learning so much more about my body and physical patterns through working with her. If you’re dealing with pain or a tough injury, don’t hesitate to check out the team at Zenith—I can’t recommend them (especially Dr. Mariel) enough!

Really happy to provide a very strong review for Mike Robinson, DPT at Zenith Performance and Wellness. I am a fairly serious road cyclist, but also an older one! This means that I have had a variety of physical problems on the bike at times. Over the last year I had some intermittent severe sit bone pain and at first I attributed it to either bike fit issues that come with a new bike or a saddle issue—or just aging. I tried a variety of fixes and was getting pretty discouraged as I trained for the Wolf Creek Century. I had thought it might just be a physical issue (me, not the bike) and had been doing some PT and began working with Mike a bit more than a month before the Century. He did a thorough assessment and made clear recommendations for exercises. This crash course to get ready for the ride was extremely helpful, and I was able to do the ride with a manageable level of discomfort and set a new personal best for the whole course. Great result. I am a person who likes to understand the underlying mechanism of a problem, and Mike (patiently) gave clear explanations that helped me commit to the exercises. I am currently continuing to work with Mike, and I would recommend him to the cycling community without hesitation. He is himself a pretty serious rider and that informs his thinking and his interventions. And he is a nice guy who is very easy to work with!

I’m a high school runner who has done Zenith’s 12-week winter fitness program 2 years in a row and it is a game-changer for runners of all levels. The program blends endurance, strength training, injury prevention and mobility into a one hour session. Each week you build progressively, with exercises tailored toward beginner and advanced runners. With personalized feedback and a supportive community, I gained many friends and efficient running mechanics. Highly recommended!

My daughter benefitted so much by working out an injury with Jen initially, and then joining the strength/stretching classes for other runners. It also gave her the opportunity to become friends with other distance runners she'd previously competed against in HS XC and track. I think that was her favorite part. We will be back with any future needs for PT!
