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!

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.

Running stronger, transparent pricing, out-of-network experience

After getting injured running last year, I was referred to Zenith from a friend and couldn't be happier with my experience. Due to scheduling conflicts on my end, I've seen almost every PT there, but have especially enjoyed my appointments with Mariel - she's very fun to chat with and super helpful at figuring out the puzzle of what underlying issues are causing my injuries. We've worked together to figure out a path forward that has gotten me back to running feeling stronger than I ever have before. From the cost side, the appointments are more expensive than you'd get at an in-network PT place, but because there's no insurance critiquing everything you can actually figure out what the root cause of your injuries are. I was able to work on my ankle, foot, hip, and low back all within the same appointment which has been a challenge for me at other PT places. Zenith's pricing is also very transparent so you know what everything costs up front, and my insurance still reimbursed a good chunk of it as an out of network claim.

Upbeat, friendly, deeply supportive during hip replacement

The spirit of Zenith is upbeat, friendly, and deeply supportive. From being greeted by Allie at the front desk, to interacting with James in the office, to sessions with the professional providers, it just feels good to walk through that door! I have worked with PT Mariel, both before and after hip replacement. She is equal parts exceptional knowledge and motivational joy. And I've just started working with Alex, the personal trainer. He is also obviously very knowledgeable, dedicated, and personable. Both he and Mariel are committed to creating individualized programs by listening and responding to their clients in order to build not just optimal physical strength and recovery but also to educate us in ways that will support our on-going health and resilience. Zenith really does live up to its name!
