Hiking is back on my calendar—maybe even running

After two years with a recurring foot injury, I had very little hope before I started with Zenith and particularly Dr. Mariel Hammond. Her expertise was immediately obvious and her approach was thorough as we worked over the weeks to problem solve and return my entire body to running readiness. Best of all Mariel is one of the most fun and easy to work with people I can imagine. I'm back to running and have established the best stretching and cross-training habits of my life. My only regret is not starting sooner. Thank you Mariel!

I came to work with Jesse by way of my running coach. I had a goal of running the Eugene Half-Marathon this year (2024) and started training back in September 2023. By November, I had injured my knee trying to push harder during the training. All of November was very painful. That is when I started seeing Jesse for physical therapy. Jesse and I worked on my mobility, strength and conditioning, running posture, breathing, and all kinds of warm up and exercise routine that had me running faster and longer within a month.

After a series of injuries and a slew of physical therapists and attempts, i wasn’t particularly optimistic as to my future health. I can say with complete certainty they gave me my mobility and a decent dosage of hope back. When I started i could barely stand my back was so seized, now I'm back to hiking and running. My insurance wasn’t particularly great, so i had to pay out of pocket; but they worked with me on that front as well. It took a lot of work, effort and attention to detail but I've recommended them to anyone who’ll listen and plan on attending their group classes when i have some more time. You can do this, and they can help. 10/5 stars, thanks Mike!
