I can’t say enough good things about Zenith. After over a year of lingering adductor pain that seemed to come out of nowhere, I finally found answers and treatment here. As a semi-professional runner, lingering pain isn’t something I can afford. It throws off my form and affects every part of my training, including lifting. So I went to a doctor who thought it was iliopsoas tightness and they sent me to a PT who thought it was an adductor strain and made it worse.

Then I came to Zenith and started working with Jesse. He took the time to understand the full story and offered a completely different perspective: this wasn’t a strain or tightness but actually a nerve issue. That insight alone was a game changer. He worked on the problem during our first session, gave me daily stretches, and even made simple lifestyle suggestions that I hadn’t considered (like actually using my standing desk throughout the day).

The progress was slow and steady. After the first follow-up, I still had some discomfort, but the plan felt like it was finally targeting the root cause. Jesse introduced strength training specific to the problem area, which I was initially nervous about. After my first lift, my muscles were sore in and around the adductor area, but the pain didn’t worsen. That was the turning point for me.

After just four sessions and a few months of consistent stretching and strengthening, I’m nearly 100% better and still improving. I’m back to running and lifting with more strength, confidence, and most importantly almost no pain.”

“If you’re dealing with a nagging issue like me or an injury then I would highly recommend Zenith. It’s an investment, but for me I saw it as a long-term investment in my body’s future, and I’m glad I did because it was absolutely worth it.

Helped me regain my shoulder mobility quickly

When I called, the Zenith Team was very responsive and attentive. They were able to get me in same day to be seen. Jenn Randall really listened to what my problem was and provided me a concise list of key, focused movements that helped me regain my shoulder mobility very quickly following multiple surgeries. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! They are a fantastic team.

They helped me get back to the activities I love

I’m old and active enough that I’ve had a lot of PT over the years. The DPTs at Zenith are the best I’ve ever seen, and it’s not close. At a certain age one starts to worry that the answer to “it hurts when I do this” is “stop doing it,” but happily the folks at Zenith have the tools and expertise to craft a better strategy. They listened to my woeful tale of injury and hopes for rehab, and devised a treatment plan that helped me get back to the activities I love. In addition, my work with Dr. Randall gave me more awareness of the good mechanics I need to stay injury free. I’m so grateful for their excellent care and highly recommend them for all PT needs.
