Owner, Physical Therapist, Eugene, OR

An absolutely amazing experience! As I trained for my first marathon, the Eugene Marathon, I unfortunately overdid it and ended up injuring myself just 18 days before the race.

Fortunately, Jesse, one of the owners of Zenith, overheard my conversation about the pain I was experiencing and recommended this place to me.

I met with Mike Robinson, who quickly identified the issue and had me walking pain-free in just a week. With only a week and a half left before the marathon, I had three more sessions here—each boosting my confidence and ensuring I could run without pain.

This place is incredible! I highly recommend it to anyone facing a potential setback due to injury. The team's communication, attention to detail, and dedication to their clients are truly exceptional. Five stars without a doubt!

What Clients Are Saying About Our Rehab PT

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 Rehab PT—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!

Would give Zenith 10 stars if I could

I can't recommend Mariel enough! She is incredibly kind, patient, and thorough-- truly the best PT I've ever had. She takes the time to explain the biomechanics behind my injuries and how each exercise or technique would help. Mariel is really flexible and intuitive. If something didn't quite work for my body, she always had an alternative ready. She listens, adapts, and genuinely cares about your progress and really tailors your treatment to your personal goals/lifestyle. She also makes herself available outside of sessions in case something goes wrong when doing the regimens on our own which was so helpful. Mariel is also just so easy to talk to-- I genuinely looked forward to my PT sessions! When I first came in, I couldn't run due to a hip and ankle injury and now thanks to her, I'm running pain-free and am stronger and more mobile than I was pre-injuries! Would give her/Zenith 10 stars if I could.

PT helped strengthen more than just my knee

Mike has been so helpful in rehabilitating my knee. Not only did he help me with exercises to strengthen the muscles around my knee, but also showed me stretches and exercises for my hips and low back, which made a big difference. I'm now able to go on longer walks and hikes with limited knee pain, and I look forward to continuing to use the tools he gave me to keep my knee in top shape. Highly recommend!
