I am thrilled to be able to hike Mount Pisgah again, for the first time in five years without knee pain!!

I highly recommend Mike Robinson at Zenith. Mike helped me understand and manage pain, provided a wide range of strategies, and took a holistic approach. The sessions are focused on treatment, rather than testing for insurance/billing purposes. He taught me how to progress with the exercises and use weights for the first time at age 60, patiently teaching me good form, so as not to hurt myself. It was a very different experience than my previous physical therapy, and proved to have excellent results.

Mike’s encouraging, positive, approach, along with the exercises he shared on Zenith's websites, and seeing improvements each week, kept me motivated. Zenith have a great online system, making it easy to set one’s own appointments. Although they are geared to runners, they do support people who are not, or are wannabe’s. Highly recommend them.

Hiking is back on my calendar—maybe even running

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.

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!
