Jesse Klein was highly recommended by a friend for a hamstring injury I had been dealing with 3 weeks prior to running Boston. I was desperate for help!

I was instantly impressed with my first phone call with him and the quick pre-appt form he had me fill out. Our hour appointment was thorough and he felt confident he could get me running Boston pain free.

He followed up our appointment with an email of everything we went over and a list of exercises to do.

3 weeks later I ran a full marathon pain free, smiling the whole way. Thanks Jesse!

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.

Ran a 24-hour race just 9 weeks after a neck injury

I originally started at Zenith (with Jesse) for a nerve injury in my neck/back that kept me from turning my head and certainly from running. With Jesse's help both in session and with an at-home program I was able to recover in time to run a 24 hour race only 9 weeks after my first appointment. I've continued to improve as a runner with regular sessions at Zenith over the past 18 months that have included gate analysis, strengthening programs, and injury consultation. If you have a nagging injury or want to simply improve your running go visit Jesse and the team at Zenith!

Skilled and compassionate physical therapist

I have been seeing Mariel for about 6 months now, and I only have positive things to say. Aside from being nice and easy to get along with, Mariel is very knowledgeable and makes things easy to understand. My body feels so much better after working with Mariel, and the best part is I have learned so much about how my body functions and moves, which has helped me understand how to take better care of myself and prevent future issues. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate physical therapist!

I worked with Dr Mariel Hammond for my poor posture and neck pains. Dr Hammond did a comprehensive analysis identifying my issues and came up with a plan to help alleviate my short term pain issues while strengthening my body to better support itself. the 1:1 sessions are second to none and her education and experience will help you toward relief starting on the first visit.
