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!

What Clients Are Saying About Our Performance 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 Performance PT—tailored support that helped them move, train, and feel their best.

It feels so good to be running pain free

I came across Zenith through a local running class. I had been trying to deal with knee pain through my own strength training and stretching. After no progress on my own, I saw Jesse, who quickly figured out the source was my previous spinal nerve damage flaring up. My pain was gone within a week following a light stretching and strength regime. I've seen several physical therapists for my back, and while they were all generally great, Jesse seemed the most knowledgeable and understanding. He didn't force me to do bridges when I said they felt awful to me and instead came up with a different exercise that still helped me build strength in my at-home plan. It feels so good to be running/moving pain free.

Back running after just two weeks

I was having ankle issues and basically could hardly run at all without discomfort. I've never had major issues in 3 decades of running and this was severely impacting my life. Scheduling PT through my doctor was going nowhere, so after a year of inaction—and honestly, despair—I decided to find PT myself. I'm very glad a friend recommended Zenith! It was super easy to set up my first visit and Mike Robinson has been terrific at figuring out what was going on with my body. I've seen significant changes in just a few weeks. Mike is clearly invested in not just solving my ankle issue, but also setting me up to avoid or reduce issues in the future. I was already back running after just two weeks—really wish I'd done this a year ago. Also, I signed up for the 10 visit option, which turned out to be a good move. Going in regularly has kept me on top of the exercises, and Mike has adapted things as I've improved. Could not have asked for better care or results!

Back to throwing and training full time

I first came in due to tearing the labrum in both shoulders in my senior year of football.
