Personalized Physical Therapy in Eugene: Rehab + Performance Plans

Jenn Randall and the team at Zenith did an excellent job supporting my teen through shin splints and coaching her through her first half marathon. Would highly recommend Jenn and Zenith Performance!!

I worked with Mariel a week after ACL surgery and she pushed me to get my strength back and set me on the right track! The exercises we did felt very beneficial. Zenith as a whole and Mariel were very encouraging and enjoyable to work with!

Dr. Mariel Hammond is very knowledgeable, caring, and committed to her practice. She does a great job explaining her approach, allowing you to get the most out of your PT sessions.

I started experiencing a persistent pain in my right hip after returning to running after several years. I am active and participate in sports and the pain was keeping me from my routine runs, races and my overall fitness. Mike evaluated me and got to the root of the issue. He is innovative in his approach and integrates elements of massage into the work. He is fun to work with, communicates regularly and uses humor as we approach some difficult movements that push me out of my comfort zone. After each visit, I receive a set of exercises to complete at home between sessions. As I got stronger, the pain decreased and I was able to return to my routine. We targeted goals, and he continues to tailor each session and prescribe a set of exercises to meet the unique characteristics of my body type and performance needs. I highly recommend Zenith; they take PT to the next level.

Mariel Hammond, PT is the absolute best! She is thorough, knowledgeable, and inquisitive — she wants to figure out the root cause of the problem and then sets out to fix it. My daughter's knee pain was affecting her ability to compete at her best as a competitive alpine ski racer. Mariel figured out what was causing the pain and then put together a comprehensive workout plan that constantly evolved throughout their sessions. We have seen tremendous improvement in her pain, and she has gained strength and flexibility as well as knowledge to hopefully prevent further injuries. I highly recommend Mariel Hammond, PT.

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.
