A seamless transition from PT to strength training

I was having ankle issues and basically could hardly run at all without discomfort. I've never had major issues in 3 decades of running and this was severely impacting my life. Scheduling PT through my doctor was going nowhere, so after a year of inaction—and honestly, despair—I decided to find PT myself. I'm very glad a friend recommended Zenith! It was super easy to set up my first visit and Mike Robinson has been terrific at figuring out what was going on with my body. I've seen significant changes in just a few weeks. Mike is clearly invested in not just solving my ankle issue, but also setting me up to avoid or reduce issues in the future. I was already back running after just two weeks—really wish I'd done this a year ago. Also, I signed up for the 10 visit option, which turned out to be a good move. Going in regularly has kept me on top of the exercises, and Mike has adapted things as I've improved. Could not have asked for better care or results!

I first came in due to tearing the labrum in both shoulders in my senior year of football. I was unsure if I was going to be able to compete in my final year of basketball and track. Lucky enough for me, my friend recommended that I go see Jesse for help. That was the best decision I could have made. Before I was even able to get in for an MRI, Jesse was able to diagnose the tear — and better yet — start getting to work on treatment. I went from hardly being able to hold my arms above my head with lots of pain and instability, to a month later being able to play basketball every day almost pain free. I continued treatment all through basketball and into track, where I was still unsure whether I was going to be able to compete in my throwing events. Luckily for me, Jesse was able to create a treatment program that allowed me to come back better than ever! With his amazing help, I was able to work back into all of my throwing events — while also making it to state in all 3! Following that season last May, I decided to still undergo surgery. Of course, following surgery, I chose to go back to see Jesse for rehab. With his expertise I was able to make a speedy (and safe) recovery. I went from not being able to (or allowed to) move my arm, to two months later having nearly all of my range of motion back. Three months post-op, I was already able to get back to some light weightlifting. Thanks to all of Jesse's help, after six months I was able to be back to throwing and training full time as a collegiate athlete. Not to brag up Jesse too much, but he also helped me become a better athlete and put together a training program specifically for me outside of physical therapy. On a final note, though I spent the majority of my time with Jesse, every PT at Zenith is very knowledgeable and professional, and it’s very obvious that they all take pride in and care about their work. If you would’ve told me last year that I was going to miss going to physical therapy, I would’ve called you crazy. After spending the last year and a half in PT and just finishing a month ago, I can honestly say I do. I highly recommend Zenith to anyone suffering from any kind of issue. You won’t regret it!

Jesse Klein was highly recommended by a friend for a hamstring injury I had been dealing with 3 weeks prior to running Boston. I was desperate for help! I was instantly impressed with my first phone call with him and the quick pre-appt form he had me fill out. Our hour appointment was thorough and he felt confident he could get me running Boston pain free. He followed up our appointment with an email of everything we went over and a list of exercises to do. 3 weeks later I ran a full marathon pain free, smiling the whole way. Thanks Jesse!
