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.

Intimate, welcoming, and genuinely caring

I can’t recommend this place enough! The environment is incredibly intimate and welcoming. Had a spectacular massage from Jesse, and have been working with Michael and they’re amazing. The team here doesn't just see you as another client; they genuinely care about your well-being and want the absolute best for you. It’s rare to find a place that balances high-level performance with such a close, personal touch. If you’re looking for a community of people who are dedicated to taking care of you and helping you reach your goals in a space that feels like home, this is it. Super grateful for my zenith fam.

Helped me tremendously in my recovery from a torn rotator cuff

Dr. Mariel has helped me tremendously in my recovery from a torn rotator cuff. I have worked with other PTs in the past and none have had her depth of knowledge regarding how the human body should perform nor her ability to gently diagnose exactly where the issues are and prescribe an effective treatment. As a 64 year old active woman, I find her cheerful manner and positive attitude delightful, making our sessions something to look forward to. I highly recommend her!
