Physical Therapist, Eugene, OR

May 20, 2024

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!

5/5 would definitely recommend Zenith

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!

Mariel has helped me find my glutes!

Mariel has helped me find my glutes! I have had an existing right knew issue for a long time and before coming to Zenith and Mariel. Since the very first day I have been blown away by the professional help and knowledge! Great homework exercises and demonstrations for proper form has helped my knee feel normal again. Mariel is extremely personable and fun while still maintaining that professional material to hone in on issue areas. I will be recommending Zenith and especially Mariel, to anyone and everyone looking for a physical therapist!

PT helped me avoid surgery and rebuild safely

Mike was fantastic. I came in with a meniscal tear with no great surgical solutions. I hadn't run for several months and was worried that my running days might be behind me. But after 6 months or so, I've built back to being almost where I was before. There was no rush and no pressure on my rehab. Just a steady progression that pushed me forward.
