As a physical therapist, Jesse enjoys getting to know his clients beyond their primary complaint, and utilizing a combination of education, manual therapy, and exercises to help them recover. He enjoys working with people of all ages and abilities, but does especially enjoy working with those establishing or returning to a work out program, and those pursuing endurance sports. Jesse has extra training in the realms of wellness and can help with strategies to create a more well balanced life.

I had a recovery session with Jesse, and it was awesome! He was professional, knowledgeable, and kind, and my legs and back appreciated the reset. I definitely plan to book a recovery session after every race. And it would be a great gift for other runners in my life!

UPDATE: I have been taking their group strength training classes too! They are awesome! Such a great workout!!!

What Clients Are Saying About Our Massage

From weekend warriors to elite athletes, our clients trust Zenith for expert care and real results. Here is what they had to say about their experience with our Massage—tailored support that helped them move, train, and feel their best.

I had given up on running—then I found Zenith

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!

I love Zenith—PT that fits how I train

I love Zenith! Working with a PT who understands my running goals and can incorporate strength and conditioning into treatment—along with helping me understand imbalances or injuries as they come up—has been so valuable. Thanks Mike!

Best bodywork sessions I’ve ever had

I was visiting Eugene and sleeping on the hotel pillow left me with a stiff neck. I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Jesse for the incredible massage during my recent trip. Your work on my neck and shoulders brought such relief—it was easily one of the best bodywork sessions I’ve ever had. Jesse’s technique encompassed the "4 p's" (pace, pressure, pain, then pleasure/release!). He clearly had deep expertise and experience. I would love to find a practitioner in my home area (Dillon/Summit County, Colorado) who offers something even remotely similar. Thank you again for your thoughtful, skilled care. I only wish your practice was located a little (okay, a lot) closer—I’d be a regular in a heartbeat!
