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. They were always patient and encouraging, and their positive attitude helped me stay motivated throughout the process.

I would highly recommend Zenith to anyone in need of sports physical therapy. Their team is top-notch, and I am confident that they will provide excellent care for anyone who seeks their services.

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.

I’ve never worked with PTs who get runners so well

I had two running goals for 2023: complete a marathon in less than 4.5 hours and run more than 1300 miles in total. I failed both (the first one I actually failed twice :)). Disappointing on some level for sure. But when I step back and take a look at the impact of those two unmet goals I find something that makes me very happy: the journey led me to set personal records at 6 distances, including my first ever trail run event, and for total mileage in 2023. Also, the two destination marathons were amazing experiences beyond the race day fun! I couldn't have done it without the running focused PT expertise of Jesse and Jenn at Zenith! I’ve never worked with PTs that understand runners so well.

The best cross-training habits of my life

After two years with a recurring foot injury, I had very little hope before I started with Zenith and particularly Dr. Mariel Hammond. Her expertise was immediately obvious and her approach was thorough as we worked over the weeks to problem solve and return my entire body to running readiness. Best of all Mariel is one of the most fun and easy to work with people I can imagine. I'm back to running and have established the best stretching and cross-training habits of my life. My only regret is not starting sooner. Thank you Mariel!

I had a goal—Zenith helped me hit it

I came to work with Jesse by way of my running coach. I had a goal of running the Eugene Half-Marathon this year (2024) and started training back in September 2023. By November, I had injured my knee trying to push harder during the training. All of November was very painful. That is when I started seeing Jesse for physical therapy. Jesse and I worked on my mobility, strength and conditioning, running posture, breathing, and all kinds of warm up and exercise routine that had me running faster and longer within a month.
