Fantastic experience: I've been working with Zarrett Rehab and Fitness since 2019, and as we welcome 2024, I can't help but express my gratitude and admiration for this exceptional place. Working with the Zarrett Rehab team has been nothing short of life changing for me, playing a pivotal role in my journey as a D1 tennis athlete and even now as I prepare for knee surgery post-college tennis. From the moment I stepped into Zarrett Rehab and Fitness, I knew I had found a place that truly cared about my well-being and athletic goals. The support and guidance I've received from their team have been instrumental in helping me navigate multiple injuries throughout my D1 tennis career. Their commitment to personalized care is unparalleled. They took the time to understand my unique needs for my knee injury and crafted a rehabilitation plan tailored specifically to my goals on and off the tennis court. One of the standout features of Zarrett Rehab and Fitness is their team of experienced Physical Therapists (PTs) and Exercise Physiologists (EPs). These professionals are not just knowledgeable; they are passionate about what they do and I have greatly enjoyed connecting with everyone I have worked with! Their expertise shines through in every session, and I've witnessed firsthand how their guidance has accelerated my recovery and haveI helped me achieve levels of strength and confidence that I never believed were possible. As I prepare for surgery and the road to recovery that lies ahead, I have complete trust in Zarrett Rehab and Fitness to support me every step of the way. Their dedication to their clients' well-being is unwavering, and I have no doubt that they will continue to be an essential part of my journey to optimal health and fitness. I couldn't recommend Zarret Rehab and Fitness highly enough! Their personalized care, experienced team, and the incredible results they deliver make them a standout choice for anyone seeking rehabilitation and fitness support. Thank you, Zarret Rehab and Fitness family, for being a crucial part of my success and well-being. :)

Fantastic experience: The Staff at Zarett are simply the best. You will not find a better rehab place in the country. They are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and motivating. I came in unsure if rehab would do anything for my cervical issue and here I am 6 weeks feeling fantastic. Brian Robbins is one of a kind.He was my PT and I am so grateful to of worked with him and the rest of the incredible staff. They give you 1 on 1 attention and will make sure you are on the right path. They are simply the BEST. Jennifer Lee.

Fantastic experience: Zarett staff have been so helpful and encouraging to me as I gain strength and recover from an injury. It’s easy to schedule and I have love having a PT experience where I leave after an hour knowing I’ve worked hard to strengthen and been seen by a PT who doesn’t rush. I’m grateful to have found Zarett!

Natan Aronhime 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started going to Zarett for rehab after shoulder surgery on the recommendation of my orthopedic surgeon. I immediately could tell the difference between Zarett and other PT facilities I’ve gone to previously. Zarett and his team approach therapy aggressively to restore joint function as fully as possible. With them, I’ve made extraordinary progress that I doubt I would have made going elsewhere. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: You get one-on-one attention from the staff here which is extremely key in rehab. They ensure that you are moving correctly with the correct form! Personal training and physical therapy simultaneously - what more can you ask for? The facility is clean and equipment is pretty up-to-date. Also have lockers and shower facilities- so convenient. Everyone is nice and professional. I have been to physical therapy at Einstein Outpatient- Phila, and Rothman in Chalfont, PA - I am annoyed that I wasted my time at my prior ones.

Margarita Queralt Mirkil 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Zarett Rehab for various reasons over the past year and a half, most recently, for physical therapy after a foot injury. My experience at Zarett has been consistently excellent. The physical therapists, exercise psychologist and massage practitioners are amazing and work as a team to provide a truly individualized and flexible program. Nicole has been especially helpful, encouraging, and motivating. Everyone is attentive, helpful, and responsive, making every step of the healing process a positive experience. Joe’s unique approach, expertise, knowledge, and individualized guidance are invaluable. Very grateful to have this group in Philadelphia and highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I spent the last two plus years in pain and uncertainty after sustaining a torn labrum in a car accident. Post surgery in January 2023 the only thing that give me hope was the team at Zarret Rehab with their patient, methodical, well thought out plan to get me back to good. Thank you Joe Zarret for assembling such an exceptional team around you. They are truly the warmest, attentive, and kind staff that I have ever met. I am better than good now and blessed for having found you. Continue the great work You will be missed! I will not be seeing you soon;)

Fantastic experience: Recent back surgery gave me huge relief from compressed nerves, but didn't correct the paper-thin discs at the base of my spine. "Don't let your spine ever think it''s sitting" was my surgeon's advice. Egads. And "DO PT," he said. Egads, again. Even at Zarrett Rehab, things were slow-going at first - sciatica kept interrupting my progress. When I told Joe Zarett things felt stuck, he assigned physical therapist Kate Brogan to do the equivalent of an "intervention" - taking over as my trainer for an hour. Within minutes, Kate realized extension was causing that sciatica, and, by the end of that hour, she'd created a new program focusing exclusively on flexion (forward-bending) and core work. My back loved every bit of it - and improved literally overnight. Today, I sit. :) Today, I travel. :) Today, I'm living pretty well with this tricky back of mine. I thank Kate, who figured out, quite brilliantly, what my surgeon didn't think to tell me -- and I thank the rest of the trouble-shooting, problem-solving team at Zarett too. They never, ever give up on you!

Fantastic experience: Cale is an incredibly talented and caring PT. I've had incredible experiences at Zarrett, but Cale is a stand out. I have had great experiences working with Edwin and others in the gym. They have all gotten me my mobility back to a less painful level, and for that I am very appreciative. They're a wonderful crew of people who I'd recommend to anyone if they have a need for a PT. Also a very friendly front desk! Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: This is my third time at Zarett over 6 years or so for different physical challenges. I’m always pleased with the quick results and with the inclusion of many exercises I can do at home. And the pts target just the right areas.

Fantastic experience: Zarett Rehab has the best team to help you recover from injuries and build strength to reduce the risks of re-injuries. Highly recommend.

Tzvia Wexler 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had been struggling with TMJ for several months, seeking relief through visits to various doctors, i took , steroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and different treatments. Unfortunately, none of these approaches provided any relief until I discovered Joe Zarett Fitness Center. Joe Zarett and his team not only accurately diagnosed my issue but also successfully treated my pain. Thanks to their exceptional care, I can now eat and drink comfortably, and, perhaps most importantly, I am able to return to work and pursue my passion for singing. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Joe Zarett and his dedicated team for the outstanding care and treatment they provided, enabling me to regain my quality of life.

Fantastic experience: Better than chocolate! Indeed, if I had to choose between having delicious chocolate or going to Zarett for physical therapy, I'd choose Zarett no contest. I've gone to Zarett for various issues over the last several years and have received excellent care every single time. The staff is knowledgeable and empathetic. They push me while making me feel safe. The one-on-one, personal approach is prefect for me. I aways feel better walking out than I did walking in! I highly recommend Zarett for physical therapy and more.

Lynn Mandarano 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The physical therapy and physiology team at Zarrett is excellent – knowledgeable, caring, and friendly. Brian, my PT, created an exercise routine to treat chronic hip flexor tendonitis and muscle imbalances after a cycling injury. Therapy is working great. I look forward to working with the physiologists. Getting stronger and enjoying the challenge. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: The personalized care and attention provided to each patient at Zarett is truly unmatched. Joe and his team are extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and go above and beyond to help you on your road to recovery!

Sue 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing PT at Zarett for the past several weeks after meniscus surgery on my knee and it’s been a really positive experience. The exercise physiologists and physical therapists are very knowledgeable and attentive. Joe is very hands on. I’m already back to golf and hiking after a few weeks, I couldn’t have done it without Zarett!

Michael Beck 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Zarett rehab is the best in the business, Joe literally got me back on my feet again. I’ve been a competitive basketball player for years and was having trouble getting over a lingering basketball injury that forced me get around on crutches. After two weeks at Zarrett I’m already walking and biking. This facility and staff are the best around and it’s not close.

Mary-Angela Papalaskari 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Hi, just wanted to say hello from Greece and thanks for the great rehab these past few months as I addressed meniscus issues. Thanks especially to Joe and Kait for their patient and thoughtful care and advice, and all the other amazing pt specialists and trainers! Also, I want to thank my friend and neighbor who recommended Zarett Rehab to me. She said that's the best place for physical therapy in the city and she was right! So I was really happy when Dr Chou also recommended it. Now I in turn recommended it to my husband,and even after a couple of sessions, it has transformed how he works out and stays strong. A big thanks all around!

David Slobotkin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went to Zarett Rehab for a high ankle sprain and fracture. The team at Zarett was fantastic! The entire staff is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Kait and Cale were outstanding, thank you all for helping me get back on my feet! I highly recommend Zarett, was very impressed with their services and care.

Brandt Davis 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Zarett goes above and beyond any regular PT establishment. They also push you harder and get you back to feeling better faster. The staff is friendly and helpful and most importantly they help design home programs and protocols that are manageable and easy to follow. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs PT/rehab/Post-Op care!

Lakara Blanding 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best 75 minutes of my life every time. Maaaaan, I've had some serious musculoskeletal issues pretty much ever since I turned 35, and this is THE best physical therapy organization I have ever been to. I've been to [xxxxx, xxxxx, xxxxx], and God only knows who else, but when I was referred for this round, I started doing some googling. I wanted something more intense than what I'd previously experienced. Zarett's tagline on their website said something like, "come for the therapy, stay for the fitness," and I was like, "oh, yes, this sounds like the place for me." I read about Joe's theory on posture being the key to everything and saw the reviews, including some from physically elite clientele and knew he was the real deal. The staff is amazing from start to finish. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful, Joe is there most days and makes it a point to ask about your progress firsthand, my intake Physical Therapist was thorough, and every Exercise Physiologist I've worked with has been absolutely amazing. There are four floors including private rooms and a small massage studio. Depending on your needs, each session ends with a little stretching, or a massage (Melissa changed my life - book yourself 90 minutes with her; it's worth every penny), or a manipulation session with one of the Physical Therapists. All are through and knowledgeable, and make me feel like a million bucks, physically and mentally. They'll also give you an HEP (Home Exercise Plan) if you want to supplement your workouts at home. I leave each session with a pep in my step and rosy cheeks from working up a sweat (there are showers and lockers available) when I couldn't even walk up and down steps without clinging to the railing when I started. In addition to being strong enough in my mid-40s to do things I was never able to do, even in my 20s, My condition improved SO much after 4 weeks that my military gym rat brother noticed and was openly impressed. Yeah, I think I'll stay. Bonus points cuz you'll often run into well-known and familiar faces from the local community.

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful to have been referred to Zarett Rehab for my post-surgical shoulder care. Joe and his team provide unbeatable care and literally gave me my shoulder back! I drove past countless physical therapy offices in the Philly suburbs to get to Zarett, but the long drive was worth it...nobody else can do what Joe does!

Vicki Spiller 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great team at Zarett. Each team member is well educated on phys Ed, personal trainer and massage therapy. Great communications and positive thinking too by all the team. They said they would have me back to my best in 4 weeks and they were right. Special thanks to Ali and Sam for all their help and challenging me to work hard and have fun.

Casey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Zarrett for over 6 months. After breaking a bone that required surgery, it was important to me to get back to my active lifestyle ASAP. That wouldn't have been possible with Zarrett. They've been absolutely crucial in my recovery, and I'm so grateful to have been able to work with them and very appreciative of their support. Everyone from the front desk staff to the exercise physiologists to the PT team to the owner Joe has been very supportive. I hope not to get injured again, but if I do Zarrett will be my first stop :)

Debra Staples 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Zarett Rehab is a great rehab and fitness experience- very different than what I have experienced at other rehab facilities. They develop a plan to treat your issues, assign an exercise physiologist to work 1 on 1 with you at all times. The EP corrects your form to make certain you are getting the most out of your exercise AND that you don’t injure yourself further. And then as you improve, they tweak it- make it more challenging and keep it interesting by varying the work out with new exercises. A PT sees you each session, stretching and checking in on how you are doing. And if a massage is right for you, get a deep tissue massage from someone who really knows what they are doing. A fabulous program that has pushed me, made me stronger, vastly improved the issue for which I came in, and improved my overall fitness. I can’t say enough about how good they are.

Harris Sokoloff 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Zarett Rehab & Fitness for several weeks for therapy on my neck, shoulder and upper back. As a fairly fit senior citizen I was starting to hunch over and experience shoulder, upper back and neck pain. My doctor gave me a referral and the rest has been a steady reduction of pain and improvement in posture. I start each session working with an exercise physiologist -- stretching my back and spine and hips -- and the a series of strength and flexibility exercises. Each session ends with time with a physical therapist doing some hands-on stretching and mobility work, and a massage therapist doing some work on my neck and shoulders. In addition to this thorough approach to rehab and fitness, they have some excellent massage therapists who have increased my neck and shoulder range of motion. All of the staff are effective in what they do, and they are welcoming and engaging to work with -- what I would call high touch and excellent emotional intelligence. I've done some PT work with other organizations and have never experienced such a thorough and broadly conceived treatment routine. And it's already started to have a positive impact on my posture, breathing more fully, and presentation of self. Friends and colleagues have said that I look healthier and stronger. So, in short, I highly recommend Zarett Rehab & Fitness, and play to continue working with them over the long term -- both for improvement and maintenance.

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful for the care I received at Zarett! Their expertise and positive attitude enabled to meet my rehab goals and leave stronger than I arrived. The team of excellent physical therapists and exercise physiologists provide an integrated and personalized treatment plan. All of the care providers and administrative staff are skilled and professional and provide a smooth, client-friendly experience. The Zarett model of functional, whole body rehab is unique and awesome…I highly recommend Zarett!

Gina Morgan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Zarett Rehab & Fitness. The staff is top notch and the program Joe has created is beyond your ordinary physical therapy. I tell people it’s like the Ritz Carlton of PT – you have a 1:1 personal trainer for your workout, time with a Physical Therapist to stretch and evaluate your condition and maintain your goals, and you end with a brief session with one of their massage therapists. The team listens, helps you work towards your personal goals and really takes the time to personalize a PT program to fit your needs. I am beyond grateful that I found Zarett when I did. I was extremely limited and suffering from chronic back pain daily due to a recurrent disc herniation. After putting in the time and effort and working with the Zarett team, I am now back to living my life and enjoying sports and hobbies that I had almost written off. And while I am past the acute phase of my injury, I continue going to ensure accountability and keep up my strength training so I don’t find myself back where I started. At Zarett, I always feel welcomed and supported and leave feeling my best.

Fantastic experience: Needed PT while recuperating from ankle surgery. This place came highly recommended by my surgeon, and I traveled from New York twice a week for my sessions – that’s how great the service is! Trainers are positive and motivating, they all made me look forward to my 6:30am sessions. PT staff are the best, Brian was my favorite. Office personnel are also kind and professional. Thank You to everyone at Zarett Fitness, for helping make my recovery swift, pleasant, and as painless as possible!

AnnMarie E Draycott 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Currently going to Zarett for an ankle issue, have gone to them previously for neck and SI joint issues. They were recommended highly by my physician who had used them for her own neck issues. They are hands down the best PT facility I have gone to. The physical therapists tailor your program to meet your individual goals for recovery. Most PT places apply a generic formula based on the average for your age which does not account for individuals who are more athletic & are looking to stay active at a higher level. Joe Zarett’s program takes a whole body approach to therapy. They work not only on the injured area but the injured part in relation to the body’s mechanics. This approach works to strengthen & correct movement & helps tremendously in preventing reinjury. Additionally, you work individually with a trainer while doing the exercises, ensuring proper technique & maximizing the outcome. All of their trainers are knowledgeable, kind, and very encouraging. After each session, you are seen by a physical therapist for stretching & massage and to evaluate how the program is meeting your recovery. All is the therapists at Zarett are top notch. And a shout out to their front desk staff who are super friendly & efficient at getting you scheduled & making sure your pt scripts are current. I have recommended Zarett to family & friends. Honestly, I would never consider going anywhere else, the team at Zarett is that good!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Zarett Rehab and Fitness to treat my lower back pain for about a month, and I’ve never felt better! For years, I’ve had muscle tightness and spasms. The physical therapist created a therapy program that meets my exact needs. Each session consists of a one on one interaction with knowledgeable exercise physiologists. They all demonstrate correct position to perform the exercises and immediately adapt the exercises if I feel discomfort. After an hour of therapy, my core and muscles are strengthened and stronger. Following each session, my body is stretched and/or massaged for an extra level of relief. I highly recommend Zarett Rehab and Fitness services! The knowledgeable, experienced, and personable therapists have helped to tremendously alleviate my back pain and improve strength and movement.

Shannon Griffin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Zarett at the recommendation of my doctor for almost over a year. This is the best rehab I’ve received after having 3 surgeries on my knee for a torn meniscus and ACL. Thought I’d never get back to running or anything I did before, but Zarett offers comprehensive programs that gets to the root of the issue and improves your overall fitness. I also love the knowledgeable and personable staff - makes my sessions highly enjoyable rather than recovery feeling like a mundane obligation.

Karen Davis 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t speak more highly of the physical therapists, the massage practitioners, the trainers and of course, the administrative staff of Zarrett Rehab. I had major back surgery which required extensive therapy work over a year plus. I’m stronger, so much more flexible and actually enjoy coming every week to test my mettle. Not only is everyone extremely professional, but they are so encouraging, supportive of me and always make me feel my progress. Love these women and men for their service to me.

Stu L 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: When doctors prescribe PT after surgery, our body parts are at our worst, and we’re wounded physically and mentally. Whatever it is hurts, not working the way it used to, and let’s be honest, it can be downright discouraging. In comes Joe Zarett and his team of amazing PTs and Physios. I have visited Zarett PT on and off for close to 20 years for a variety of issues, head to toe, at times traveling over an hour several times a week. There is no substitute for what Joe and his team provides in terms of equipment and knowledge, and the healing process they take you through is unparalleled. The results speak for themselves, and perhaps most importantly at Zarett Rehab, while you may come in broken, you leave with positivity and confidence that tomorrow will be a better day.

Fantastic experience: Zarett Rehab is the best! They have an amazing team of knowledgeable professional, supportive physical therapists and exercise physiologists. Care is uniquely individualized with close attention to form. Special thanks to Emma Collier (DPT) and Rachel (EP) for tweaking my program to get my shoulder swinging again! Highly recommend Zarett Rehab and Fitness.

Kaitlyn Cestaro 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Growing up as an athlete I have been referred to many physical therapists but none can compare to Zarett! Joe and his team care so much about each patient and provide an individualized and flexible program. They don’t look to provide a quick fix but rather strive to help you feel better and stronger for life. I’m grateful I found them and plan to stay for fitness post my rehab.

Spiridoula Matsika 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Zarett for 5 months now after my ACL surgery. They were recommended by my surgeon, and she was right! The whole team has been great! They have taken my goals seriously and they work hard to get me there. And I really appreciate the positive environment. It makes physical therapy a lot of fun.

Wilson Altidor Jr. 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I tore my meniscus, and my knee popped every other step. The options were surgery or a few weeks at Zarett Rehab & Fitness. I decided to go with Zarett and entered a well-equipped and warm environment. Zarett offered a comprehensive plan that not only rehabilitated my knee, stopped the clicking and popping but strengthened my entire body to get back to doing the things I loved. Mostly lifting, but also walking without my knee sounding like a bowl of rice crispies. The staff is kind, flexible, and knowledgeable. I will take everything I’ve learned here to improve my flexibility, stamina, and strength. I couldn’t recommend anywhere else but Zarett Rehab and Fitness

Kristen Grant 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Zarett Rehab is the best physical therapy I have ever been to. I highly recommend choosing them for any PT needs. For background, I have had 4 knee surgeries and a hand surgery, and thus have been to and witnessed numerous PT businesses. What stands out about Zarett are their (1) people and (2) facilities. I have worked mostly with Chris C and Eric, and have only fabulous things to say about them. They are incredibly knowledgeable - not only with what exercises are needed for my specific rehab, but also with explaining specifics around my healing process (i.e., what different sorenesses around my knee mean and what are the best steps to improve these feelings). Arguably the best thing about Chris and Eric is that I feel like they really get me. In other words, they recognized my competitive spirit and have created a safe but goal oriented schedule for me to adhere to during my recovery. The fact that they recognized this and adapted their routine to me shows a sophistication that you will not find elsewhere. (I know they have adaptive for me, because I have friends that also see Chris and Eric who have vastly different personalities to me and these friends also overly enjoy their sessions with Chris and Eric). Lastly, the Zarett facilities are better than other PT options in Philly. First of all they are large, but more importantly they are full of machines. Other companies rely only on body weight exercises. But that is not the case at Zarett! In fact, get excited to move down the basement floor and work on the turf - you’ll feel like a real athlete! (Brian and Spencer are gems also!)

Samantha Roecker 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am a competitive runner and have trusted Zarett Rehab and Fitness with all recovery and rehab I've needed the last several years. The multidisciplinary approach that Zarett takes is unparalleled by any other PT practice I've ever been to. Every person I've worked with at Zarett is extremely knowledgeable and it is evident that each PT, physiologist, receptionist, massage therapist, etc., truly cares for and about you. I've worked with many of their employees and the continuity of care is seamless so that you do not always need to schedule with a single person. I will always recommend anyone to Zarett without hesitation.

Kate Giordano 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Joe and the entire team at Zarett. This isn’t your grandmother’s PT practice! I’m currently rehabbing at Zarett for the third time - after a third orthopedic surgery. I wouldn’t trust any other team with my recovery! For the active, athletic person, Joe and the team provide a perfect balance of compassionate encouragement and skillful progression. I enjoy working with a diverse team of PTs and exercise physiologists - each professional adds a new dimension to my lexicon of physics awareness. You won’t regret choosing Zarett!

Nicole Carter 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Zarett Rehab and Fitness for over 15 years. During this time, I have worked with The Zarett Team to address specific injuries that were a source of pain and discomfort. I have always seen very positive results. Recently I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I underwent a double mastectomy procedure. Post-surgery, the range of motion in my shoulders and chest was severely limited, I was weak, stiff and I was suffering from a good amount of pain. One of the best decisions I made during this process was to contact The Zarett Team. Given my circumstances, Joe prioritized a consultation, and I was evaluated the very next day. I Immediately started an intensive, custom rehab program that the team developed for my specific, unique needs. Some of the elements of the program were a bit daunting, but Joe and the team provided hands-on monitoring, support and reassurance. I developed a strong sense of trust which allowed me to push myself and, therefore, successfully progress through the program. I am now just over 1 year cancer-free and I am back to lifting weights and practicing yoga on a regular basis. I would not be in this position if it were not for the expertise, professionalism, engagement and support of Joe Zarett and his team. I will be forever grateful. I would highly recommend Zarett Rehab to anyone looking for the best support in their rehab journey.

Joel Steiker 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joe Zarett is simply the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. Whether you are a regular adult athlete or play on a collegiate varsity team, Joe will provide a detailed therapy plan for your injury and take you as far as you want to go. Most impressively, he trains his staff to an extraordinary level. During the last 25 years, Joe has gotten me through three significant injuries. In each case, after being under his care, I have come out in far better shape. He is a master.

Robyn Berger 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Zarret Rehab and Fitness for the first time about a decade ago. I was having some pretty bad low back pain and was hoping to find relief. I had a great experience then too, but ultimately I was told by my drs that eventually I was going to need surgery. Fast forward to January 2021, when I had spinal fusion surgery of L3,4,5. It was brutal. After 9 days in the hospital and six weeks of home rehab, I came back to Zarett, where I knew I’d be an excellent hands. I was not disappointed! I was paired with Spencer, a very knowledgeable, kind, patient but persistent physical therapist. I began with him while I was still on a walker and extremely limited. I came to physical therapy diligently, twice a week, for a total of 30 visits. Tomorrow is my last visit and I find myself feeling emotional. I successfully went from walker to weightlifting! Every time I leave Zarett I feel significantly better, stronger, and more confident. Every physical therapist, exercise physiologist, and massage therapist here are next level fantastic. I’m so glad I found them and they’ve rehabbed me back to my active, dancing, constantly running around self.

Susan Ingalls 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am so impressed with Zarett rehab. Each exercise physiologist is knowledgeable, professional, and gave me individual attention throughout the one hour of exercises specifically planned for my foot rehab. This is so very different than any PT place that I have been to in the past. I had excellent workouts with everyone that I worked with, especially Zach, John, Dave and Nicole. After the one hour workout, I would have a session with the PT. Huge thank you to Spencer and Eric who helped me immensely! I highly recommend Zarett!

Fantastic experience: This place is the truth I had surgery on my foot and I needed therapy during my transition. I was sent to Zarett by my surgeon. My first day there the owner Joe came to me and let me know that he was gonna take care of me. And he does! Joe is so amazing, this man really cares about the quality of care and compassion his patients get. His team is awesome as well, they are caring and hard working people. They strive on addressing your concerns while continuing to meet your goals that are set in place for you to get back to where you need to be. The work that it takes to get better can only happen with dedication and hard work. That’s where people like Brian Robbins, PT,DPT come into play by keeping you on track during your your time at Zarett, he’s awesome the whole staff are a group of outstanding employees. My likelihood to recommend to company to my friends and family is 100%

Fantastic experience: I was skeptical about physical therapy prior to going to Zarett. However, three weeks of treatment not only eliminated back pain, but improved my posture. The staff doesn’t only consider what they do as a job, they get satisfaction from seeing their clients improve. Everyone I have worked with has the personality to comfort you throughout your session.
