Jesse Klein was highly recommended by a friend for a hamstring injury I had been dealing with 3 weeks prior to running Boston. I was desperate for help!

I was instantly impressed with my first phone call with him and the quick pre-appt form he had me fill out. Our hour appointment was thorough and he felt confident he could get me running Boston pain free.

He followed up our appointment with an email of everything we went over and a list of exercises to do.

3 weeks later I ran a full marathon pain free, smiling the whole way. Thanks Jesse!

Top-notch team for sports physical therapy

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jesse Klein and Mike Robinson at Zenith, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and expertise I received. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt welcomed and understood. Jesse Klein and Mike Robinson were incredibly helpful, kind, and approachable. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assess my injury. Their knowledge and experience were evident, and they tailored a treatment plan that was specific to my needs. Thanks to Jesse Klein and Mike Robinson's guidance and support, I was able to make significant progress in my recovery.

I would recommend him to the cycling community

Really happy to provide a very strong review for Mike Robinson, DPT at Zenith Performance and Wellness. I am a fairly serious road cyclist, but also an older one! This means that I have had a variety of physical problems on the bike at times. Over the last year I had some intermittent severe sit bone pain and at first I attributed it to either bike fit issues that come with a new bike or a saddle issue—or just aging. I tried a variety of fixes and was getting pretty discouraged as I trained for the Wolf Creek Century. I had thought it might just be a physical issue (me, not the bike) and had been doing some PT and began working with Mike a bit more than a month before the Century. He did a thorough assessment and made clear recommendations for exercises. This crash course to get ready for the ride was extremely helpful, and I was able to do the ride with a manageable level of discomfort and set a new personal best for the whole course.

The trip was a success — pain free!

I have had a great experience working with Mike @ Zenith! I sought PT after experiencing knee pain while on multiday backpacking trips.
