We help active individuals in Eugene, OR get back to and excel in life and sport through Physical Therapy, Training, and Massage

I was visiting Eugene and sleeping on the hotel pillow left me with a stiff neck. I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank Jesse for the incredible massage during my recent trip. Your work on my neck and shoulders brought such relief—it was easily one of the best bodywork sessions I’ve ever had. Jesse’s technique encompassed the "4 p's" (pace, pressure, pain, then pleasure/release!). He clearly had deep expertise and experience. I would love to find a practitioner in my home area (Dillon/Summit County, Colorado) who offers something even remotely similar. Thank you again for your thoughtful, skilled care. I only wish your practice was located a little (okay, a lot) closer—I’d be a regular in a heartbeat!

At the beginning of the year I woke up with a pain in my ankle that felt like I had sprained it/rolled it or something similar. Nothing had happened that would have alerted me to that particular injury. Went to my PCP, got an x-ray (nothing wrong) got referred to a podiatrist (they found nothing). Thankfully the podiatrist referred me to Zenith, where I met Dr. Mariel. Over the course of 6 sessions she worked like a detective trying to solve my issue. Seriously, she is like Sherlock Holmes. Did not leave a stone unturned. My issue ended up being a nerve that was very angry and causing pain to present in my ankle. It was the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. Without Mariel, I would still be limping around with a phantom injury. I highly recommend working with her. She is so kind, knowledgeable, patient and will not stop until you are feeling your best. Zenith as a whole is a fantastic place to heal and to meet your fitness goals. My goal was simply to walk normally and to get back to playing with my kiddos and I am not only able to do that but have come out the other side feeling better than ever. Yes, they are a cash pay facility but Jesse made it so easy to submit to my insurance with superbills and was always available if I needed anything. These guys are seriously the BEST at communicating with their patients / clients. I have never felt so taken care of it was as if I was the only client they had. 10/10 recommend. Ask for Mariel, she kicks ass.

Mariel was the best PT I could’ve asked for. Incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and chill. She is great at explaining her process—It was very helpful for me to understand the ‘why’ behind each exercise. Life gets busy and hectic for me at times, and Mariel was so understanding and flexible. Zenith is a great facility and an awesome culture. Highly recommend.

I experienced a ground lever fall while rollerblading and ended up with a herniated disc in my lumbar spine, whiplash, cervical strain, and a concussion. I was off work (full time PT) for 6 weeks - lifting even a pot/pan caused severe pain and headaches. I was devastated because I had to wait weeks before I could get an appointment to an outpatient clinic - eventually my insurance didn’t cover it so ended up having to cancel my appointments and try another clinic. In the meantime, I used my own expertise to help myself but I could only treat myself so much and needed hands-on manual therapy for my cervical spine. I knew I needed a PT who is knowledgeable with manual therapy. I tried an outpatient clinic in my network but I wasn’t impressed with their manual therapy skills and ability to get me back to higher level activities pain-free. I decided that my health and physical well being is worth the investment and I was tired of the insurance policies and headache. So I reached out to Mike. Best decision ever. Mike did a thorough evaluation and assessment and set goals that were reasonable and patient/client centered. He did not deter from doing manual therapy as needed for my spinal column to help my muscles and soft tissue heal. I felt relief in my first visit with him (it had been 3 months since my injury at this point and I still wasn’t doing most of my activities). Every visit he made sure to check in to see what worked and what didn’t work - it was focused on my goals and not a formality to please the insurance folk or making sure to bill the right codes. The home exercise program was catered to my needs. Fast forward I am now back to running, rollerblading, playing piano/guitar/violin, strength training, skiing, and hiking with better stability and mobility - I can also lift my kiddos without pain or significant muscle/joint tension! Each and every visit was focused towards my healing and I know he truly cared for me to return to my life. Coming from a physical therapist who is very unimpressed with our medical system and insurance policies, my only regret is that I didn’t go to him sooner. If you’re looking to a PT who is invested in you, thorough, professional, and willing to invest in yourself, this is the place to go! They don’t waste any time here.

Mike was fantastic. I came in with a meniscal tear with no great surgical solutions. I hadn't run for several months and was worried that my running days might be behind me. But after 6 months or so, I've built back to being almost where I was before. There was no rush and no pressure on my rehab. Just a steady progression that pushed me forward.

I have been working with Mike since October. I can't say enough good things about him and my experience with Zenith. Mike helped me understand my situation with the issue I was having with my hip and some issues I may face down the road. Then we attract the issue with some targeted exercises and stretching. Mike is super encouraging and patient. He motivated me to be faithful to the things he was assigning me. All that has made a world of difference in how I was feeling when I first came it. I may still need a hip replacement sometime in a few years but for now hiking is still on my calendar and maybe even running.
