I came across Zenith through a local running class. I had been trying to deal with knee pain through my own strength training and stretching. After no progress on my own, I saw Jesse, who quickly figured out the source was my previous spinal nerve damage flaring up.

My pain was gone within a week following a light stretching and strength regime. I’ve seen several physical therapists for my back, and while they were all generally great, Jesse seemed the most knowledgeable and understanding.

He didn’t force me to do bridges when I said they felt awful to me and instead came up with a different exercise that still helped me build strength in my at-home plan.

It feels so good to be running/moving pain free.

PT helped my posture and relieved neck pain fast

I worked with Dr Mariel Hammond for my poor posture and neck pains. Dr Hammond did a comprehensive analysis identifying my issues and came up with a plan to help alleviate my short term pain issues while strengthening my body to better support itself. the 1:1 sessions are second to none and her education and experience will help you toward relief starting on the first visit.

I hiked Mount Pisgah pain-free for the first time!

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.

Now that I can move pain free…

Dr. Mariel Hammond, wow. Starting back in June with " It hurts right here " and fast forwarding to November with " Now that I can move pain free.. " I am so thankful for the time, energy, explanations and compassion she has shown me. I'm not an athlete, just a guy who hurt and hadn't found relief from massage and chiro. I now regulary workout 5 times a week, 4 of which are a home program structured by Dr. Hammond. You will gain insight to "Movement Snacks" and genuine interest in your recovery.
