I knew why it tore and how to prevent it

At the beginning of the year I woke up with a pain in my ankle that felt like I had sprained it/rolled it or something similar. Nothing had happened that would have alerted me to that particular injury. Went to my PCP, got an x-ray (nothing wrong) got referred to a podiatrist (they found nothing). Thankfully the podiatrist referred me to Zenith, where I met Dr. Mariel. Over the course of 6 sessions she worked like a detective trying to solve my issue. Seriously, she is like Sherlock Holmes. Did not leave a stone unturned. My issue ended up being a nerve that was very angry and causing pain to present in my ankle. It was the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. Without Mariel, I would still be limping around with a phantom injury. I highly recommend working with her. She is so kind, knowledgeable, patient and will not stop until you are feeling your best. Zenith as a whole is a fantastic place to heal and to meet your fitness goals. My goal was simply to walk normally and to get back to playing with my kiddos and I am not only able to do that but have come out the other side feeling better than ever. Yes, they are a cash pay facility but Jesse made it so easy to submit to my insurance with superbills and was always available if I needed anything. These guys are seriously the BEST at communicating with their patients / clients. I have never felt so taken care of it was as if I was the only client they had. 10/10 recommend. Ask for Mariel, she kicks ass.

Dr. Mariel Hammond is awesome. I came in with bad intermittent hip pain going on for the better part of the last decade. I’ve seen a number of insurance-based PTs over the years and not only does that service model fail but I’ve never gotten anything other than generic exercises that aren’t really tailored to an identified problem. Mariel takes a really systematic approach to tackle the complex issues that result in my pain and in ways not explored by others. She also doesn’t BS or put on a show. She’s clearly confident in her knowledge and expertise. For the first time in a while I feel better, have been making gains, and have been able to increase my activities without the normal routine-busting pain that inevitably presents itself. Really enjoyable experience over there. Highly recommend.

Mariel is by far the best PT I have ever seen. Mariel’s background with PRI creates a holistic approach getting to the root of the problem and providing a great, easy to follow, treatment plan.
