PT helped me finish my first Ironman pain-free

Mariel Hammond, PT is the absolute best! She is thorough, knowledgeable, and inquisitive — she wants to figure out the root cause of the problem and then sets out to fix it. My daughter's knee pain was affecting her ability to compete at her best as a competitive alpine ski racer. Mariel figured out what was causing the pain and then put together a comprehensive workout plan that constantly evolved throughout their sessions. We have seen tremendous improvement in her pain, and she has gained strength and flexibility as well as knowledge to hopefully prevent further injuries. I highly recommend Mariel Hammond, PT.

I can’t say enough good things about Zenith. After over a year of lingering adductor pain that seemed to come out of nowhere, I finally found answers and treatment here. As a semi-professional runner, lingering pain isn’t something I can afford. It throws off my form and affects every part of my training, including lifting. So I went to a doctor who thought it was iliopsoas tightness and they sent me to a PT who thought it was an adductor strain and made it worse. Then I came to Zenith and started working with Jesse. He took the time to understand the full story and offered a completely different perspective: this wasn’t a strain or tightness but actually a nerve issue. That insight alone was a game changer. He worked on the problem during our first session, gave me daily stretches, and even made simple lifestyle suggestions that I hadn’t considered (like actually using my standing desk throughout the day). The progress was slow and steady. After the first follow-up, I still had some discomfort, but the plan felt like it was finally targeting the root cause. Jesse introduced strength training specific to the problem area, which I was initially nervous about. After my first lift, my muscles were sore in and around the adductor area, but the pain didn’t worsen. That was the turning point for me. After just four sessions and a few months of consistent stretching and strengthening, I’m nearly 100% better and still improving. I’m back to running and lifting with more strength, confidence, and most importantly almost no pain.” “If you’re dealing with a nagging issue like me or an injury then I would highly recommend Zenith. It’s an investment, but for me I saw it as a long-term investment in my body’s future, and I’m glad I did because it was absolutely worth it.

This place has changed my quality of life a million times over! I met Mariel when I had severe shoulder pain and could barely open a door—this had lasted a few years. Part of the reason I initially went with Mariel is because we talked about my long-term fitness goals, and Mariel said all this was possible through Zenith. My crippling shoulder pain is now well in the rearview mirror, and we’ve been well on my way to being the strongest I’ve ever been. If you're looking for people that can help from recovery and then onto your fitness goals, Zenith is definitely the place you'll want to be. This is very high quality care that I would highly recommend.
