Physical Therapist, Eugene, OR

January 2, 2025

I have been working with Mike since October. I can't say enough good things about him and my experience with Zenith. Mike helped me understand my situation with the issue I was having with my hip and some issues I may face down the road. Then we attract the issue with some targeted exercises and stretching. Mike is super encouraging and patient. He motivated me to be faithful to the things he was assigning me. All that has made a world of difference in how I was feeling when I first came it. I may still need a hip replacement sometime in a few years but for now hiking is still on my calendar and maybe even running.

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.

Helped Me Resolve My Back Issues

I’m convinced that Mariel knows everything about the athlete’s body. Nice, intimate facility with plenty of equipment for anything you need to work on. They helped me resolve my back issues and transition into better overall mobility and strength training.

Exceptional Care from Mariel and Jesse

This is a review for Mariel and Jesse: I have had many massages with Jesse. He is methodical, receptive, and thoughtful with every massage. If you have a trouble spot he will definitely spend the time working on it but will budget his time to make sure you end up with a full body massage as well. I have never left without feeling better and that I wasn’t worth it. He is very good at getting the knots and tension out without subjecting you to abject torture. A true sports massage with the benefit of full body relaxation. The only caution I’d give is that he is in a “gym” space. If you do not mind the VERY occasional “sounds of the gym”, you will be fine. However, if you use the massage room as a means of escape into a quiet, serene, transcendent space without ANY external distraction - there may be the occasional thud of a weight. But by no means are the sounds constant. I can still find my peace. I worked with Mariel initially for my back and then my shoulder. I started by seeing Mariel for my back which started to progressively improve and during this time my shoulder flared up. I didn’t need a new referral, I didn’t feel bad about bringing it up, we seamlessly transitioned into working on both without any issue. She is a consummate professional, insightful, and knowledgeable. At the same time, she is fun, laid-back, and gives reasonable advice and adjustments to work towards your goal. I would trust her with any physical therapy ailment I have.
