Owner, Physical Therapist, Eugene, OR

I arrived at Zenith with a frustrating hamstring pain that was preventing me from running. I met with Jesse, who gave me exercises and stretches that were easy to incorporate into my normal routine and helped to relieve a long-term back pain issue. After a conservative return to running program and incorporating weight lifting into my routine, I'm back and seriously feel stronger than ever.
