Testimonials

“

I’m in the fitness world – I’m a personal trainer and love working out, but I do not love running. I decided to run a marathon as a challenge to myself and I had no idea what to do. I started coming to Prehab and it changed the whole training game for me. I did a gait analysis seeing what was different between my stride and helped me identify which running shoe worked best for me.
Shayna Schmidt
As an 800m runner for the USA Olympic team, working with Prehab has taught me a lot of tips for my running technique for races and for practice. Coming to Prehab has really helped me to perform better.
Ce'Aira Brown
I had a knee and calf injury shortly before entering a race and ended up walking the last few miles. In training for the NYC marathon, I got hooked up with Prehab for injury prevention, strength training, and improving my gait in ways that would help me prevent my past injuries and I got my best marathon time ever breaking 4 hours.
Emilyn Kowaleski
The Prehab warm-up has literally changed my running game. I did it right before the start of the NYC marathon as well as some other exercises they gave me. I had one of my best races on one of the most challenging courses I have ever ran. I would recommend them 100% to any one of my fitness & runner friends or any friends who want to meet their goals.
Laura Frye
I came to Prehab because I injured my knee running and was in a lot of pain. I thought I couldn’t run again but I’ve now gotten back to running 2 to 3 miles pain-free.
Rachel Leighton
Prior to the NYC marathon, I came in for a couple sessions and did a gait analysis to help balance out my stride. I did a lot of exercises to help and did a warm-up routine. I found out my prior stretching routine was not very limber which wasn’t helping me run far. Prehab gave me the encouragement to keep going and finish the marathon.

This philosophy is something he has developed both from working with his patients and dealing with his own injuries throughout life. As a distance runner earlier in life and an avid CrossFitter now, he has had a fair share of aches and pains that have been resolved by working on moving well. Though the reference point is always the quality of movement, his approach is using any method that works to achieve the desired outcome. Zach is continually working to expand that toolbox of techniques to help patients heal and improve, and learning how to make those techniques applicable to a variety of populations. He has worked with youth athletes, high school athletes, collegiate athletes, theater performers, construction workers, and patients of all ages and activity levels. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training and Kinesiology from Miami University and a Master’s in Kinesiology with a specialization in Athletic Training from Indiana University, along with numerous specializations and certifications. Zach is excited to to join the Prehab team and looks forward to growing together. 

Jordan

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Sports Medicine and pursued a Master’s in Athletic Training at Washington State University, where I developed expertise in injury prevention, emergency response, first aid, rehabilitation, and optimizing athletic performance. My participation in sports including football, baseball, swimming, surfing, and MMA, provide me with firsthand insight into the physical and mental demands athletes face in diverse disciplines. These experiences have not only shaped my clinical approach but also deepened my appreciation for the unique challenges athletes encounter.

I am committed to promoting preventive healthcare strategies that empower individuals to proactively manage their well-being. I advocate for equitable access to healthcare services, believing that every individual deserves personalized and compassionate care tailored to their specific needs.I prioritize quality care by staying up to date on advancements in medicine and adopting a patient-centered approach that respects each person’s individuality and goals. My goal is to not only facilitate recovery from injury but also to support athletes in achieving peak performance and maintaining long-term health. 

Outside of clinical practice, I am dedicated to community education and outreach, fostering a culture of health and wellness. I am driven by the belief that by promoting physical activity, injury prevention, and holistic healthcare practices, we can enhance quality of life and empower individuals to lead active, fulfilling lives.
