The trip was a success — pain free!

November 5, 2024

I have had a great experience working with Mike @ Zenith! I sought PT after experiencing knee pain while on multiday backpacking trips and then increased knee instability after a climbing fall. Mike assessed my current state and got me started on a program that was easy to jump into.

I noticed increased knee stability within a few weeks of being consistent with my exercises. Mike helped me prepare for a 70-mile trip in the Sierra by: supporting me through my training, designing an on-trail warm-up for me, and teaching me techniques to handle my pain if it arose mid-trip.

The trip was a success (pain free!) and I have continued working with Mike on stability and strength to train for next summer’s objectives. It has been wonderful having professional support from someone who understands my goals.

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.

From Misdiagnosed Adductor Pain to Running Strong Again

I can’t say enough good things about Zenith. After over a year of lingering adductor pain that seemed to come out of nowhere, I finally found answers and treatment here. As a semi-professional runner, lingering pain isn’t something I can afford. It throws off my form and affects every part of my training, including lifting. So I went to a doctor who thought it was iliopsoas tightness and they sent me to a PT who thought it was an adductor strain and made it worse. Then I came to Zenith and started working with Jesse. He took the time to understand the full story and offered a completely different perspective: this wasn’t a strain or tightness but actually a nerve issue. That insight alone was a game changer. He worked on the problem during our first session, gave me daily stretches, and even made simple lifestyle suggestions that I hadn’t considered (like actually using my standing desk throughout the day). The progress was slow and steady. After the first follow-up, I still had some discomfort, but the plan felt like it was finally targeting the root cause. Jesse introduced strength training specific to the problem area, which I was initially nervous about. After my first lift, my muscles were sore in and around the adductor area, but the pain didn’t worsen. That was the turning point for me. After just four sessions and a few months of consistent stretching and strengthening, I’m nearly 100% better and still improving. I’m back to running and lifting with more strength, confidence, and most importantly almost no pain.” “If you’re dealing with a nagging issue like me or an injury then I would highly recommend Zenith. It’s an investment, but for me I saw it as a long-term investment in my body’s future, and I’m glad I did because it was absolutely worth it.

A professional bike fit—life changing

I worked with Mike and he was incredible! I was experiencing so much knee pain on my bike and he was able to help me move to feeling confident and pain free again by making some adjustments to my bike fit and prescribing some exercises that changed how my body functioned. I never knew how life changing it would be to have a professional bike fit, it has changed my riding!

A seamless transition from PT to strength training

I worked with Dr. Mariel Hammond who helped relieve my pain from an acute injury and identified the underlying cause. She worked with me to develop a longitudinal plan to prevent this injury from happening again. She was professional, supportive, and positive, and helped provide a seamless transition from physical therapy to a tailored strength training program. The whole Zenith team is great to work with—communication and scheduling is easy, they are friendly, and work with my schedule and individual needs. After graduating from physical therapy, I now participate in strength training sessions with Josh Harper and am happy with my progress. Thanks to Dr. Hammond, Josh Harper, and the whole Zenith team for providing excellent physical therapy care with a smooth transition to a tailored strength training program. If you’re looking for physical therapy, personal or group training in a supportive and respectful environment, Zenith is the place to go.
