Owner, Physical Therapist, Eugene, OR

June 4, 2025

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.

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.

They gave me hope—and my mobility back

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!

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.
