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.

PT helped me finish my first Ironman pain-free

I started working with Dr. Mike Robinson at Zenith in May when I was having issues with numbness in my hand due to compressed nerves starting in my neck and shoulder. I was training for an Ironman and a marathon at the time. Over the next ten sessions, he was not only able to provide relief from the pain, but helped me work through other issues that came up during training. Dr. Robinson was always kind, helpful, and friendly during our sessions, and I felt each appointment was tailored to my specific needs. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to return to training pain free and successfully finished my first Ironman and got a PR at my fourth marathon!

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.
