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.

Zenith saw an opportunity no doctor had

After a year and a half of uncertainty regarding a lower leg injury I developed my freshman year, working with Jesse Klein is the only reason I can play pain free. After 4 MRIs, a compartment syndrome test, multiple X-rays, and people telling me it was time to give up my sport, Jesse saw an opportunity and brought to the table new knowledge and possibilities to my injury that none of the 3 doctors had mentioned to me. I am so thankful for this company and all they do for my team—but most importantly, huge thank you to Jesse for beating the odds and taking a new approach to heal me. After playing multiple sports my whole life, I knew something was wrong with my leg freshman year (2022). About two weeks into fall camp, I started experiencing swelling to almost double the size of my calf and leg spasms/cramps that would often keep me up at night. I attempted to push through and unfortunately ended up being diagnosed with bilateral tibial stress fractures and placed in a walking boot on my left side and an air cast on my right side for 2½ months, taking away my full freshman season. I went through about 3–4 months of physical therapy and attempted to return in March (2023) of my freshman season, but the pain wouldn't go away. I played through pain for about a month, but the swelling got to the point where I was having a hard time walking, and ultimately led me back to the boot from April to May. From June–August I was on a strict rehab schedule to get me back, which included no explosive or impact movement for the full time. I thought I was healed. I came back in August (2023) and the pain wouldn’t stop. At this point, I reached out to a new company and they wanted to discuss compartment syndrome testing, which ultimately took place in January—one of the doctors told me I should give it up if I wasn't reliant on scholarship. I went on break worried about what to do—and that’s when I met Jesse Klein. My coach introduced me to Jesse in January and told me he had a couple ideas on my injury. At this point I was looking for a miracle. I worked with Jesse from January to May (2024) and I plan to work with him in the future. We did weekly appointments and I followed his program that allowed me to begin play in moderation and keep up with exercises daily. Jesse brings a new view and unique take to PT and I would honestly recommend him to anyone. Because of him I am now pain free and can finally play the sport that I love. I played the whole 3 months of spring season with no pain and I can’t wait to come back and play in the fall. Without Jesse I don't know if I would be able to play anymore—he's made this experience efficient and comfortable, and my coach and I are eternally grateful.

A great team, facility, and experience

A great team, facility, and experience. I went to Zenith to improve my running form and lower back strength, and I was able to accomplish this and so much more. At Zenith, you not only get great treatment, you also get an academic understanding of your own body and how to improve it. I worked with Mike Robinson, and he thoroughly assessed my body's mechanics and diligently worked through all the different areas I wanted to improve. His treatment and instruction empowered me to continue getting stronger and more agile at their gym and on my own time, and I'm walking away with a whole arsenal of new tools to become a better athlete. Looking forward to future sessions with Mike down the road to check on progress and keep optimizing my running!

It’s like I have new legs

I had chronic Achilles tendon and ankle pain from running, to the point that I could not run without making it worse. I had tried tons of different strategies on my own to fix these issues with no progress. Then I got much needed help from Mike Robinson at Zenith. Each session had great coaching, guided exercises, and therapeutic massage. I would not have figured this stuff out on my own; take it from me when I say that the internet cannot evaluate your issues like an expert physical therapist can. Mike was always easy to get in touch with, was always respectful and compassionate, and there was good flexibility with the day/times of the appointments. After a couple months of weekly sessions and doing the prescribed exercises on my own time, it’s like I have new legs. I can move in ways that I haven’t been able to for well over a decade. Now I’m setting goals way higher than I thought possible. Overall I highly recommend Zenith to anyone seeking to eliminate pain or reach new heights in their running.
