Great experience. I am leaving therapy so much better than when I arrived. The whole staff is excellent, but the guidance and expertise of my usual PT, Steve Gibson, was what really made this a successful round of therapy.

As a former athlete with a previous knee injury, I was in constant knee pain, preventing me from enjoying the gym, which I love a lot. Each gym session was accompanied by pain, and I had to stop my workouts.As a result, I was almost pushed towards knee surgery by my doctor. Before agreeing to the surgery, a friend recommended I get a consult with Zarrett Rehab, and Im so glad I did!!! Joe and his team are incredible professionals!!! They created an individualized training plan that strengthened my body and helped me to completely eliminate my knee pain, which I thought was impossible. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I am back at the gym, exercising regularly without any discomfort.I am extremely thankful to Zarrett Rehab for their exceptional care and support! If youre in need of physical therapy, I highly recommend their services because they truly know what theyre doing, and the results speak for themselves!

I have been dealing with intermittent back pain and spasms for the past 9 months, so debilitating that I could not work for long periods of time. Ive seen multiple offices for various types of care to combat this pain and tightness in my muscles (PT, Acupuncture, specialty massage therapy, Rothman) but nothing seemed to be working to provide longterm relief. Until I saw Joe at Zarett Rehab. He was able to very quickly identify some of my rooted issues, that no one else had discussed with me, and I left with noticeably less pain after my very first day with him. I feel very well cared for, as Joe has catered all of the specialty services at Zarett around my specific needs, and personally oversees my treatment plan, which has given me incredible results. I feel like I am in a new body, with more freedom of movement without pain. Huge thank you to Joe! You have changed my life.

I have been an active athlete my entire life and have seen many PTs due to multiple sports injuries and surgeries. This past August I suffered a hamstring avulsion (hamstring tears off the bone) which is a very very challenging injury to overcome. Doctors told me that most likely I would not be able to return to my sport. I was referred to Joe Zarett and his team by an interventional radiologist at Jefferson Radiology at the Navy Yard. I travel 90 minutes roundtrip 2-3x a week and it was well worth the time, travel, and money. Joe and his team did not disappoint. Im so glad that I went!!! Joe and his team are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They created an individualized treatment plan that was specific to my injury and sport. I thought returning to sport was going to impossible and I was feeling very bleak about my injury. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I am back to playing my sport and exercising at the gym. I am extremely thankful to Joe and his team for their exceptional care and support! I highly, highly, highly recommend Zarett Rehab and Fitness because they provide comprehensive, patient centered physical therapy services plus they have a state of the art facility. Their results speak for themselves!

I was a patient at Zarett for several months and had a very mixed experience. On the one hand, the facilities are great and the workouts were challenging, which I loved. I found that the model of spending most of the session with an exercise physiologist and only a few minutes with a physical therapist for manual work (stretching) to be disappointing. I found that there were a lot of inconsistencies between the PTs, and I received very conflicting guidance from them about returning to running after a stress fracture, which was a large reason why I was there. There was also virtually no privacy in the space where you met with the PT- just a very long row of tables separated by curtains. Additionally, there were several appointments where all the PTs were busy so I would see another exercise physiologist to stretch at the end, but my insurance would still be billed for an appointment with a PT (listing the name of someone I didnt interact with at all at that appointment), which felt very unethical. Additionally, my injury was misdiagnosed at first for several weeks, which potentially could have been avoided by having a full initial evaluation with a PT (or referred to an MD) rather than even during the initial exam spending most of the time with an exercise physiologist. I would summarize my experience as insurance-subsidized personal training, which I think could work well for some people and situations but personally was not what I needed, and I was ultimately much happier going elsewhere.

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.

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.

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!

Ive been working with Zarrett Rehab and Fitness since 2019, and as we welcome 2024, I cant 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 Ive 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 Ive 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 couldnt 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.

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 thats 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!

Cale is an incredibly talented and caring PT. Ive 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. Theyre a wonderful crew of people who Id recommend to anyone if they have a need for a PT. Also a very friendly front desk! Thanks guys.

Better than chocolate! Indeed, if I had to choose between having delicious chocolate or going to Zarett for physical therapy, Id choose Zarett no contest. Ive 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.

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.

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!

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!!!

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;)

Recent back surgery gave me huge relief from compressed nerves, but didnt correct the paper-thin discs at the base of my spine. Dont let your spine ever think its sitting was my surgeons 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, shed 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, Im living pretty well with this tricky back of mine. I thank Kate, who figured out, quite brilliantly, what my surgeon didnt 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!

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.Ive done some PT work with other organizations and have never experienced such a thorough and broadly conceived treatment routine. And its 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.

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!

An amazing team of well-trained and highly skilled personnel make for an experience well beyond expectations. At age 76, one might give up hope for painlessness but after three sessions, I am very optimistic. I even think I might be able to run again and perform a full body weight pull up notwithstanding my knee and shoulder pain. Excellent in every respect.Now, three years later, I am 79 and have been a client 2021 through 2 total knee replacements and 1 revision. The management, staff and facility are first class. They are uniformly knowledgeable, well managed and attentive. I cant conceive of a better choice.

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.

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.

Review №27

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Ive 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 wouldnt have been possible with Zarrett. Theyve been absolutely crucial in my recovery, and Im 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 :)

Growing up as an athlete I have been referred to many physical therapists but none can compare to Zarett!

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%

I am a competitive runner and have trusted Zarett Rehab and Fitness with all recovery and rehab Ive needed the last several years. The multidisciplinary approach that Zarett takes is unparalleled by any other PT practice Ive ever been to. Every person Ive 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. Ive 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.

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.

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!

I have been going to Zarett the last few months after a car accident to rehab my back, neck, and other affected areas. They are top notch - personalized service to your needs and a three prong approach of fitness, manual, and massage. The therapists take the time to understand your needs as your body changes and make sure you are always getting the best treatment possible. They have been great to work with on any issues and have made PT accessible virtually during the covid pandemic. Zarett Rehab has been the most important part of my recovery and I am so lucky to have found them!

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.

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.

Calling Zarett a Physical Therapy practice is simply not sufficient. Zarett treats each patient with an individualized plan, not only addressing the presenting problem, but holistically. Each and every appointment, I go in and work one-on-one with my trainer Mike upstairs, who is just great. He makes sure that I do each and every workout with the correct posture and am working the right set of muscles. When I ask him a million questions, he always has an answer for me. The trainers are all very knowledgeable and patient with us not-so-athletic people.After working out, the trainers send you downstairs to get massage therapy on your targeted problem area. All of the girls are great and really know what theyre doing. Next, you are seen by the physical therapist - whether its Joe, Elan, or Adam. Each one of them knows every single patient - and has a full conversation with each one. The physical therapists stretch and adjust you and let you know how youre progressing.Each time I walk into Zarett I feel welcomed and am even getting to know the other patients. The facility is state-of-the-art and everything is always clean and new. I cannot say enough good things about Zarett Rehab & Fitness, the team is just phenomenal.

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

Best 75 minutes of my life every time.Maaaaan, Ive 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.Ive 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 Id previously experienced.Zaretts 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 Joes 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 Ive 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; its 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.Theyll 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 couldnt 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 Ill stay.Bonus points cuz youll often run into well-known and familiar faces from the local community.

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.

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.

I was not a believer in physical therapy, due to being extremely active and for a good portion of my life in good shape. However, after experiencing hip pain that would not go away on its own, I made an appointment to go to Zarett Rehab & Fitness. The relief I experienced after just two visits made me a TRUE BELIEVER in physical therapy. I would hands down tell anyone to make an appointment and no longer continue to suffer as long as I did.

I have been to Zarrett for two separate injuries, once a few years ago for a calf injury from running and currently for frozen shoulder. My first experience there was so good that it was a no brainer to go back when I had another injury. The staff is incredibly professional, attentive and all around great to work with, especially PT Brian and exercise physiologist TJ. They have customized a great program for me and are helping me recover quickly and build strength. The massage therapists are fantastic as well! Do not hesitate to go to Zarrett if you have an injury, these guys are the best and actually make going to rehab an enjoyable experience!

Review №60

From my first visit I could tell that Zarett was different from my past experience with physical therapy. After a thorough evaluation by a physical therapist and an exercise physiologist, they developed an individualized program including a home program to meet my needs. The exercises are targeted, varied and just the right amount of challenge. Each 90-minute session includes working one/one with an exercise physiologist followed by individual treatment from a physical therapist or assistant PT. The exercise physiologist stays with you in completing each exercise. I have found everyone there to be very professional, competent and caring. After just 5 sessions I was able to stash the cane that I had been using for nearly 3 months. Joe Zarett has developed a “model” program for rehab and fitness. I cannot recommend this practice strongly enough!

I don’t want to sound overdramatic, but Zarett Rehab saved my life. Two years ago, I experienced a trauma with my lower back – L5-S1 disk got ruptured. Two independent doctors misdiagnosed my condition for two weeks, resulting in a sever additional damage on my right side below the waist. When I start loosing the ability to walk, a friend (ER-doctor) pushed for MRI, leading to emergency surgery. I was lucky to escape paralysis. Month after the surgery, my neurosurgeon recommended a rehab, which is a typical practice. Thanks God I found Zarett Rehab! First of all, this is a team of highly professional and knowledgeable physical therapists, exercise physiologists and massage therapists. In 90 minutes a patient works out with an exercise physiologist in one-on-one setting, followed by physical manipulation/adjustments by a therapist, followed by a massage. The program is individually designed for every patient, closely monitored by a group of therapists and regularly evaluated and adjusted. As a result, such a practice pushes a patient to all different level of physical health. If you go away for few weeks, Zarett team designs program that you can do by yourself. Another important factor that makes Zarett rehab truly unique is that the team becomes your family. The overall atmosphere of Zarett rehab is super friendly and emotionally supportive. ALL team members become very involved with you and your problems and help you to overcome frustration and emotional/physical discomfort caused by trauma. All team members are positive, attentive and smart people, EXTREMELY WELL TRAINED, and they wish you well and work hard to get you out of woods. For me, this emotional support was as much as important as physical training. Imaging when healthy and active young person became incapable of doing simple things… such a tragedy usually leads to depression. Did not happened with me (!) because Zarett team was there for me every minute of every day. Zarett runs flawlessly (no waiting time or messed up appointments); it is a very clean place that is very well maintained. The training equipment is top-notch, and upgrades continually (every couple of months I see a new machine there). To sum up: if you experience physical problems and ready to go to physical therapy don’t waste your time looking for a place, call Zarett Rehab. Trust me, you will not regret it!

Zarett Rehab is an amazing place not just for PT but also Fitness. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I have been going here for the last 10 years for a variety of PT related injuries and been very satisfied with the outcomes each time. Over the last year, I decided to treat myself and participate in the fitness program. I am so happy with my results! I am stronger and my overall posture has improved. The fitness trainers I have worked with, Travis, AJ, and Curtis are amazing. They push me each session to reach and exceed my fitness goals. Unlike going to the gym, as part of the fitness session, I also see Matt (PT) for stretching after and feel fortunate to have him monitor the overall program. I am also a type 1 diabetic, and through the consistency of my fitness plan (increasing intensity) I have seen tremendous benefits to my blood sugar control & decrease in insulin pump requirements. If you havent tried Zaretts yet, trust me you will not be disappointed. And dont forget to learn more about the benefits of Cupping through the incredible massage team.

Call Joe Zarett! I would highly recommend going to Zarett Rehab for Physical Therapy. Each session you are paired with a trainer for about an hour and complete different exercises. Once you are finished your session you get stretched for about 5-10 minutes and then you also get a massage for 5-10 minutes! I had a back and hamstring injury so I mainly worked on strengthening my core muscles and received deep tissue massages in both areas after my sessions. All the trainers are very knowledgable and outgoing so you feel comfortable working with them right away. The Staff really cares about you and do everything they can to get you feeling better. Ive had other injuries in the past and gone to other physical therapists in the city, but I can confidently say Zarett Rehab has been my favorite! The location at 19th and South is very convenient for those working/living in the city. I actually live in the suburbs 20 minutes away, but take the train in because I believe they offer such an amazing service. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for a place to do Physical Therapy!

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.

Review №65

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!)

Zarrett Rehab is an amazing physical therapy location from top to bottom. Joe has truly thought about every detail to give the best experience. Every member of his staff is very educated and personal. The building is beautiful, clean and has the most up to date equipment.

I dislocated my patella back in November and Zarett Rehab really helped push me back onto the right track with my fitness goals. I went from not being able to walk up and down stairs without excruciating pain to biking, running, and just generally working out again daily with minimal to now no pain. I would recommend them to anyone looking for Physical Therapy in the Philadelphia area. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and extremely motivating during the entire process, they felt more like friends than staff by the end of my time there. I truly could not have gotten back to where I am today without them. I am eternally grateful for their services and will absolutely head back if I ever am in need again! Thanks Zarett Rehab, you guys rule!

Review №68

After years of living with a frozen shoulder and never being consistent with PT, I decided to take one more stab at trying to treat it. To my surprise, an xray showed that my frozen shoulder had turned into arthritis. While the doctor gave a script for therapy, he also told me to immediately stop running, cycling and participating in any other activity that would require moving my shoulder. On my way out, he told me that I needed a shoulder replacement sooner than later. I should add that I am in my late 30s.When I showed up at Zarett, I had very little mobility and a lot of pain. The first thing they did was send me to a shoulder expert who used pain level over pictures to determine the need for surgery. The next was put me on a sustainable plan to heal. It has been over a year now that I have consistently been going to Zarett for my shoulder – I have gotten back the ability to put up my hair, I have no pain when I run or really when I do anything and best of all, my doctor has told me that as long as I have no pain, I do not need surgery.On a personal note, I have gotten to know almost every PT and therapist at Zarett. They are all incredibly kind and knowledgeable. In addition to my work on my shoulder, they are always available to give me tips and exercises for other aches and pains that I have. Recently they have been giving me at home workouts thru a new program that demonstrates proper technique. It has been incredibly helpful – especially on weeks that I just can’t make it in.I highly recommend Zarett to anyone that needs physical therapy. From recommending my new doctor to repairing my shoulder, they are completely full service and are fully committed to seeing all of their patients recover.

I came to Zarrett Rehab suffering from lower back and sciatica pain. It was debilitating at times. In 8 weeks, I have seen tremendous progress. I’m feeling stronger, more flexible, and so much of the pain I was feeling is gone. I no longer fear “hurting myself” by picking up my kids or unloading the dishwasher. Joe and the staff at Zarrett’s are simply amazing! The entire team is invested in my health and progress! I can’t thank them enough! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m an extremely active jiu jitsu competitor and I went to Joe Zarett because of a shoulder issue (clunking, pain) that I had dealt with for over a year and a half and was hoping to resolve it through physical therapy. I did one session (which laid the groundwork for exercises that I could do at home), and while it was helpful, upon closer examination Joe had suggested I get an MRI. I got the MRI and it revealed a major SLAP tear! Physical therapy wouldn’t be enough to “fix” it, and Joe suggested I go see Dr. Chris Dodson (who is awesome). It was in my best interests to go through with a repair. I did it, and the surgery went great. A month later, I came out of the sling and was ready to get some work done to heal as strongly and as quickly as possible.My main PT guy is Chris Cush, but I’ve also worked with Anthony, Riva, Eric and Demarcus (who all pretty much follow the program that Chris mapped out for me.) My surgery was on July 8th. Today is September 5th— almost a full 2 months post surgery. I’ve almost gotten my full range of motion back and am increasing weight on my exercises and am getting my stability back fast. I make sure to do at least some homework. I really like how they pay close attention to your form and that you’re doing the techniques the right way— and they are also really receptive to whatever trouble areas you tell them about. A great example is how my lats on the side of my repaired shoulder are still kind of stiff and is affecting my hip. Eric was the PT that pinpointed the trouble muscles and helped me learn what stretches I could do to help relive them to keep my hip from hiking up. Joe has also been great, he makes sure to check on all of his clients, making sure progress stays on track (they have ROM landmarks that they meet based on amount of time post surgery), and if there’s a particularly stubborn group of muscles or tendons, he will personally take time to manipulate them.The front desk staff are always helpful and in good spirits and they keep the facility very clean. I’m very fortunate to be working with Joe and his staff and look forward to rehabbing my other shoulder! Because of the program and the recommendation of a solid surgeon, I’m able to get surgery (another SLAP repair) on my second shoulder a little early.If you’re serious about your rehab and want the best case scenario for your body, I highly recommend Zarett. Five stars!

After working with two other physical therapy groups within 6 months and seeing no improvements in my frozen shoulder condition, my new orthopedic surgeon told me I was to only go to Zarett Rehab. The minute I called to make my appointment and then walked in their offices, I could immediately tell the difference. The attentiveness and level of professionalism that everyone from the receptionist to the exercise physiologists to the physical therapists to the owner give to each client is undeniable and impressive. Four months later and I am 100% back to all of the activities that I had not been able to do previously. I highly recommend Zarett Rehab!

The primary reason I went to Zarets Rehab was to slow down the process of my scoliosis at the age of 66. I am an active person, hiker, bike rider and exercise routinely. Luckily I was able to schedule appointments 2 times a week as my ins.covered all but a deductible. As a seasoned nurse I evaluate my experiences a bit harder, I take it all in and use a high bar when making an opinion or judgement as it relates to a medical issue. That saying, the staff....ALL staff were extremely professional and knew their specific specialty and more. Their schedules are quite grueling, they educated me on exercises that have changed my routine to increase the musculature supporting my spine issue. The perks are, after an hour of exercise you are led to the area where the desert comes in.....quick massage and a stretching of a body like no other!!!! I floated during my walk home each time I left. To mention Emma as amazing is an understatement as is Lauren N as the many others I had the pleasure of their expertise. I thank all of you!!!

I am grateful for and unreservedly appreciative of the care I received from Zarett in my rehab after knee replacement surgery. The staff was uniformly warm, supportive, and expert, and I could see that every patient received unique personalized attention. I owe a shout out to Travis, who was my personal trainer, spending two or three one hour sessions each week with me, urging me on through the pain and difficulties to reach each milestone. I remember his convincing me that, though I thought it impossible, I really could turn that pedal on the stationary bike a full rotation for the first time. Only because of my confidence in him was I able to give it a 100% effort, and when I succeeded, I felt that I had won the Tour de France. I also thank Elon, who was my main physical therapist, who followed Traviss workout with the most sophisticated work on my knee. He helped me get through the pain to increased mobility, and he reassured me every time that I was making great progress. The result was that I really did recover faster than expected. My surgeon was astonished at how quickly the Zarett folks had brought me to complete recovery.I could see that Joe Zarett has created a terrific team that functions seamlessly. Every member of the team knows every patient by name, and when another professional would take over for a session they knew exactly my program, the plan, and my unique issues. I cant imagine a better facility and recommend them with as many stars as there are available.

I came to Zarett Rehad as a last resort. This is after a year of rehab at Moss Rehab, Good Shepard Penn Partners and Excel PT. Zarett Rehab was the only facility that took me seriously when I informed them of my recovery goals and concerns regarding my injuries. They are very hands on and really provide the push you need for recovery unlike other facilities. They took me as far as I can go with their assistance and the remainder is up to me, but they make sure to provide you with documentation needed to continue after ending treatment. Im very grateful to have been referenced here by a prior patient. I highly recommend coming to this facility over any place else.

Gifted with faltering joints, this is my third rehab with Zarett. I am an alum, perhaps a veteran. The fact that this is my third should say enough. I was originally recommended to them by a student (I am a prof) who said they would not be easy but they would bring me back. Suffice: They are consummate professionals, they push you as hard as they can but judge your capacity individually, they nurture you back into health--and this is saying something enormous, and with gratitude. The staff, brimming in their sharply tailored black suits are always too young and beautiful to be so devoted and indeed, kind. How did Joe train them so well? And then, yes, there is Joe Zarett, the owner/guru who could be mistaken as gruff and ambitious. But this would be a mistake. We have been together for ten years, Joe and I. I am not one of the many rich and famous on his walls. But he knows me, my knees, my muscles and joints. He even knows my dog. Thank you Joe.

I came to Zarett with a running injury in my Achilles and could not be happier with my experience there. Ive been to other rehab facilities in the city and nothing compares to the attention Ive received at Zarett. The Exercise Physiologists are incredibly knowledgable and have consistently challenged me with workouts to increase my strength and mobility. Anytime I became frustrated with how long tendons take to heal, my PT (Brian Robbins) was positive and encouraging. Through Brians expertise and guidance Ive gone from having pain walking to comfortably running again and I am beyond grateful to him and everyone else Ive worked with (E.P.s Nicole & AJ). Cannot recommend Zarett enough, especially to runners with nagging injuries.

Have been going to Zarrett for several weeks now to rehabilitate my ankle and they simply are the BEST! I have never done any type of physical therapy and was scared to start the process, especially being more of a couch potato.

Zarett rehab is the best! There is no other rehab facility that offers this kind of care/service. Zarett gets your whole body warmed up before honing in on specific areas for rehab and wraps up each session with a 15 minute deep tissue massage that targets pain areas and gets the blood flowing to the injury. I came in with a shoulder impingement and after 2 weeks I saw a major improvement. 6 weeks later, I’m almost pain free. Awesome! Thanks Zarett!

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to Zarett Rehab and have beenas far back as I have a record, 2009 and itmay be further back than that. Every singleperson with whom I’ve worked, including Joe Zarett has been, thoroughly trained, knowledgeable, caring,supportive and helpful in the very best sense of that word. The women and menwho have worked with me have encouragedand inspired me to do my best work and have become through the times we have shared, dear friends.Something about me.

Review №83

I have nothing but great things to say about Zarett Rehab & Fitness. Going in, I had no idea what to expect. This was my first major injury and first major surgery. I ended up completing 3 weeks of prehab prior to my ACL/meniscus repair. They spent those 3 weeks walking me through several exercises (designed to restore range of motion and maintain strength) and answering what felt like the hundreds of questions I had about surgery and recovery. By the end of prehab, I felt more prepared, both physically and mentally, for the road ahead.I’m nearly 3 months out from surgery now and couldn’t be happier with where I’m at. Everyone at Zarett truly takes a personal interest in your recovery. They’re there to celebrate the small wins with you, support you through the bad days/setbacks, and give you that little extra push when needed. The PTs and exercise physiologists develop unique plans to fit each person, and they continue to switch up the routines to keep you challenged as you progress. I’m always looking forward to seeing what’s next!To everyone at Zarett - thank you so much!!

The best PT experience I have had in every way. After an ATFL avulsion fracture, I was convinced my running days were over, and I would be stuck with a slight limp for good. The Zarett staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgable from day one. They pushed me every session while also providing detailed feedback and the occasional pep talk when I was frustrated. Somedays I felt like I was with a personal trainer vs PT with the activities I was doing, which I loved. I could feel myself getting stronger every session.At four weeks, I was feeling confident enough to try running again, and the team provided me a program to help me get this activity back without doing any damage to my injury. This week, I finished my PT and signed up for a Triathlon. This would not have been possible without the Zarett team.While Im excited to be done with the program, Ill miss my mornings with the PT crew!

This place is amazing.I went to Zarett initially for arthritic pain in both knees and subsequent knee replacements. Along the way I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The team at Zarett modified my program immediately pushing me to do more and better. The place works as a well-run team with clear communication and coordination. I am supported to meet and exceed my individual goals.I receive one to one service from the time I walk in the door. The service is personal and individualized. The physical therapists and exercise physiologists work seamlessly to implement my program and all of them have a good grasp of my needs and progress.My services did not skip a beat during the height of the pandemic as they provided virtual sessions. My thanks to Bridget, Alyssa, Steve and Kaitlin for keeping me progressing during that period.I have enjoyed working with exercise physiologists, Rachel, Colleen, TJ, Steve, Jen and Emily who helped me prepare and recover from knee surgery as well as controlling Parkinson’s symptoms. The PT staff including Chris, Spencer, Brian, Pete , Vira and Eric are knowledgeable, positive and professional. They do it all with competence, genuine encouragement and humor. Their observations, strategies and suggestions have been extremely helpful and I often hear them in my head when I am walking and doing other activities.I want to also acknowledge the office staff, Shannon, Lisa and Chelsea. They are always professional, welcoming, personal and helpful. They help cheerfully with any issues or concerns with scheduling, billing and other logistics. They are totally reliable.Joe Zarett has set innovative standards for rehabilitation and fitness that take the best of both fields to provide a more powerful service. He shows genuine concern for the progress and well-being of his clients.

I feel extremely blessed to have such a professional team of experts to call whenever I get an injury. There are many different exercise physiologists under the Zarett roof but all have a benchmark of excellence and professionalism and knowledge that came from Joes example! Being hurt is not fun...but being given a road back and a plan that you see unfold in the days and weeks that follow gives you fresh perspective on not only your injury but life. I left my last appointment today a stronger gal with a plan for keeping my knees stronger and stronger! As I move into the second 1/2 of my life (51)I am grateful for all I have learned and can put to use daily to stay strong! Thanks Team Zarett!PS...I have been to other rehabs much closer to my home without tangible results... never at Zarett. You are worth the 30 minute drive from the suburbs!!Take it as seriously as they do and youll glean a great result.

I have been a Physical Therapy client of Joe Zarett for several injuries over the past 10 years, primarily for multiple cervical disc herniations but also for a shoulder. I live in the suburbs so it is not exactly convenient for me. I go to Joe because he gets results. I have been to other physical therapists over the years and frankly I would be better off doing finger calisthenics. Joe is thorough, knowledgable, and cuts through all the stuff you dont understand to get you results to put you back in action. His physical therapists, trainers, massage therapists are all top notch. If they are not, they would not be working with Joe. Its the kind of place that it doesnt matter who you get for your appointment as the staff are all great and knowledgable about your personal circumstance and injury. Demarcus and Spencer happen to be a personal favorites. My endorsement gets better when I tell you that I have switched over from rehab to personal fitness twice a week even though I probably drive past 25 other physical therapists to get to Joes location in center city. If you want to rehab an injury and can accept a little tough love, Joe and his team would be a great solution. While I did not go to Joe for weight loss, I have lost 31 pounds on his strength and fitness program. If he were to open a facility in the suburbs, I would be an investor.

I’ve worked with Zarett multiple times and they’ve been really amazing every time - incredibly thorough and extremely attentive to helping me heal my injuries/issues. Really happy with their service! Every PT/exercise physiologist is so knowledgeable and professional.

I went to Zarett Rehab with excruciating IT Band pain 3 days before I was running a 10 mile race. I had scraping done and I was miraculously able to run my race pain free. Scraping was painful for sure, but it was worth it becasue of how successful I was. Joe Zarett is probably one of the smarted physical therapists Ive met and I wouldnt recommend going anywhere else in Philly

Zarett Rehab and Fitness changed my life for the better. Joe overheard me talking about the spasm in my kneck from overuse/repetitive motion at my full time coffee shop job and he said, Come to Zarett, well heal you. And heal me they did. I am 28 and have been working in the service industry for 12 years and I thought it was time for me to quit. Not only did my time at Zarett heal my neck spasm and overall body pain, the fitness program trainers taught me personalized exercises I could take home and stretches I could do at work to help me continue keeping myself strong and able to work the job I love. I thought physical therapy was only for people who have had surgery--- a misconception on my part. Zarett helped me realize that it is a necessity for any job that requires repetitive motion (all jobs do) and gave me the tools to keep myself stronger and happier.

Zarett Rehab has given me my life back! After breaking my shoulder and 6months of therapy elsewhere my surgeon suggested a different approach. That approach was Zarett! It truly is a unique experience. Professional, knowledgable, and compassionate from the front desk to the PTs. What makes this so unique is the one on one care as well as the incorporation of massage therapy. The environment is very upbeat and positive. This is crucial to overall recovery.I am amazed at how much mobility and increased range of motion I have gained. I feel very grateful to have this experience.Teamwork and communication makes the program so successful.If you are looking for a PT facility STOP right here. I can honestly say there is none better.

Zarett Rehab and Fitness has looked after and restored the health of the unique situations of my mom, uncle, grandma, grandpa, and now me. 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧I first found out of Zarett Rehab and Fitness because Joe Zarret and his staff have looked after nearly my whole family all with different ailments, injuries, illnesses that required the kind of attention to detail in ambience and ability that they raved about during their visits. I would always hear about how Zarett consistently attended to them with genuine skill and generosity. I had heard and can now attest to the whole staff being very sincere and professional and that Joe especially goes above and beyond as if he were treating his own loved ones.For the past two years, I have been cared for here and I am so glad. ♥️Encouraged by my family to go at 18, I was very unsure, both because I had no grave injury such as the broken bones of my family members. Instead I had been in constant discomfort suffering with some common postural problems attributed to the sedentary lifestyles so many of us occupy and seeking the creation of habits to improve my health. I had low confidence in my abilities, physical and beyond. Around the start of the pandemic I had been feeling more isolated and low energy. Plus, I was not physically moving very much at all.I first came to Zarett wishing to improve my posture. But I have also seen myself transform and get stronger, physically and emotionally. 💪🏼It didn’t help that I abhorred and never understood how to work out or find joy in exercising. If you hold this kind of disposition but are seeking help, do not let this stop you. Throughout the weekly visits month by month, I have seen myself grow. I have learned that physical therapy really can also be a therapeutic act for breaking one’s limiting beliefs and that rehabilitation and fitness are not exclusively physical deeds. My physical posture has improved as well as my emotional one of my own body image and confidence.I look forward every week to coming here. 🤩The ambience is clean, with proper amenities such as showers and lockers and aesthetically pleasing but also the overall attitudes here are un-intimidating and friendly. Because of Zarett, I now enjoy fitness and am even now knowledgable to navigate the previous scary turmoil of going to the gym. This place where I get sweaty has been a source of sanctuary of structure that I didn’t know I needed in the most isolating moments in my life. The stress relief and connection from the challenging but not draining workouts, relieving adjustments, and medicinal massage are awesome.I am grateful for and recommend this place. 🙏I have never written an online review for any place but because it has been so instrumental for the wellness of me and my family I definitely want to encourage others to come here. If only for personal pursuits, I can say with assurance that I am indebted to the gritty and honest work of Joe and his staff that has been so important to not only restoring my physical body back to health, but also my emotional and mental bodies.

My latest stretch of rehab has been 7 months for a torn achilles. This team is fantastic (and I cannot stress this enough). As I approach the end of my program, I feel confident in my ability to return to sports and other athletic activities. More importantly, Ive improved in areas that have exceeded some of my pre-injury capabilities. Rehab is a team sport, and as a patient if you listen and put in the prescribed work both in and out of the office, I can almost guarantee youll have a similar outcome.

Zarett Rehab has been a life saver. Since going through rather extensive shoulder surgery, I have been receiving physical therapy here for some months now –– the progress is remarkable and clear. Joe Zarett and my surgeon communicated well and in a timely manner, they coordinated updates and kept pace with alterations in my treatment plan. The staff of Zarett Rehab is friendly, professional, respectful and attentive. They develop a treatment relationship with you that is encouraging, and that adjusts and adapts to your condition at the moment.At Zaretts, after your rehab session, there is stretching and evaluation by the well-trained and experienced senior PT staff (including and especially Joe Z. himself, Ilan, Adam and Matt) who insure that progress is steady and always focused on rehab goals and undoing any glitches along the way. Massage after your rehab session conducted by the skilled bodywork staff (Jen, Jill, Anna and Andrea) loosens up the kinks and strains that may have developed from your injury, post-surgery, and while rehabbing. The front desk staff (Lisa, Francie and Katie) are always welcoming, organized, and helpful with scheduling, and assist with the paperwork and insurance aspects (they are Always there and sometimes I wonder when do they get a vacation!?).Finally, and this sets Zarett’s apart, is that, if you are interested, they will also help you attend to your overall health and fitness planning going forward beyond your injury rehab, once you are through the woods. This goes along with the fact that the atmosphere at Zarett rehab is not overly medical (while still being very medically, fine-tuned, anatomically savvy and carefully guided). The ambience is vibrant, upbeat, and keeps you actively moving forward, which is especially helpful post-surgery and post-injury when you might be in pain and need encouragement.I feel fortunate to have found Joe and Zarett Rehab. Of the rehab staff who work on your injuries for the bulk of your rehab session, I’ve had the good fortune to work with, and you should consider yourself fortunate if you work with, the ever-inspiring Tim R, Travis, Kevin, and Anthony who are are careful, encouraging, caring and diligent. Others with whom I’ve worked on occasion and have seen their diligent work with others include Bridget, Tim H., Nate, Tom, Jarred, Natali, AJ, Jeff and Tommy.Figuring that you are reading this as you are about to enter a rehab phase, I wish you good luck in your rehab!

Review №103

Im an emergency physician with lots of experience with musculoskeletal injuries in my patients and myself and I was loathe to go to a physical therapist for my aching shoulders and worsening forward head posture. A close friend who had shoulder surgery with complications and chronic issues with the other shoulder gave me a birthday gift of one session and I was totally convinced. The basics are obvious and fully in place: a professional environment and staff. A team that treats each client as an individual and works for the clients success. At my first session, Joe Zarett did an assessment and turned me over to Keegan who introduced me to several exercises Id never previously tried--these became the core of my program. My subsequent sessions over the past two weeks, mostly with AJ and Wes have steadily improved my strength, mobility, balance and stamina. Finishing each session with a massage that zeros in on my sore and tight spots has given me progressive relief, especially after Joe Zaretts scraping of my right shoulder concentrated on the long head of my biceps. I commute 35 minutes each way for my three times weekly sessions and Its entirely worth it to me. There may be an equal out there, but theres none better.

Jeff and his team did a phenomenal job at personalizing a treatment plan to help me recover from a shoulder dislocation. The physiotherapists provide a one on one experience during the excercises which separates this place from other therapists I have been too.

Review №107

I very rarely write reviews and only do so when I feel that a business is so fantastic that to fail to write a review would be a disservice to others. Zarett Fitness is one of those places.I have been a client of Zarett for nearly 5 months. Over this time period, I have been a fortunate beneficiary of the incredible service that they provide. There are four features of Zarett, in particular, that make it the cream of the crop: 1) highly-individualized care 2) a well-organized operation 3) state-of-the-art facility and 4) incredible staff.1) Highly Individualized Care: The quality physical therapy that Ive received at Zarett is unparalleled. Their model is broken down such that every session you work one-on-one with an exercise physiologist/kinesiologist (EP) for about an hour and then your physical therapist for about 15-20 minutes. Your program is tailored to your particular injury - and that program adapts to your progress. In my previous physical therapy experiences at other places, you are essentially left on your own to do a list of exercises. Not here. At Zarett, your EP is focused on you and only you, making sure 1) youre doing the exercises properly and 2) that those exercises are meeting your particular needs. Your therapist (in my case I generally work with one of two therapists at each session) then works on your injury afterwords. Your main therapist will also likely inquire into your progress to ensure that the prescribed program is working for and adapting with you.2) Efficient Operation: theres nothing better than going to a place where everything runs smoothly on a consistent basis. The EP’s are always ready on time. Theres no confusion as to which EP youre working with that day. The EP has the program ready to go. The facility is never over-crowded. Theres no appointment-confusion (unless youre me and forget or oversleep - despite their text reminders). Ive never waited more than 5 minutes to see a therapist after a workout and that has only been during high-peak times.3) State-of-the-Art Facility: this place is incredible. If youve done physical therapy elsewhere, in all likelihood the equipment looks run down and/or the place is really small. Conversely, Zarett is four floors - three are dedicated to machines/workout space and one is for therapy. Everything is brand new - and clean - and the facility is always getting new machines and equipment. This not only serves to make therapy a comfortable and enjoyable experience, but also helps to ensure that your program does not remain stagnant as there are a myriad of different machines/equipment for you to use (and the EP’s really do try to incorporate different exercises/machines into your program).4) Incredible Staff: I have been so fortunate to have worked with a large majority of the Zarett family. Everyone - and I mean this sincerely - is cut from the same cloth. They are just the nicest people and they genuinely want to make sure you get better. This runs through the organization at all levels - including therapists, EPs, masseuses, administrative staff, and the owner. I actually look forward to going to PT not only because I feel 100x better after a session, but also because its a sincere joy to get to see and talk to the people that work there. I am eternally grateful for all of their help and kindness.I unfortunately re-injured myself recently (due to my own stupidity) and have now had to restart therapy. While I was understandably really bummed that I was injured, the one upside - and its an important one - is that I knew exactly where I would go for therapy. It was a great source of comfort and solace to know that I had Zarett - a place that I greatly trust to provide me with the care that I need to re-heal. As usual, they do not disappoint.Long-story-short, to those looking for a place for physical therapy in Philly, going to Zarett will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Frankly, its a no-brainer.

I cant recommend the team at Zarett Rehab, and my PT, Ilan Immerman, highly enough. Ive needed PT several times in my life for various injuries and the Zarett staff and facilities are simply superb. I suffered a serious knee injury about five months before my wedding. At the time of my injury, it was questionable whether I would even be able to walk down the aisle without a brace. With the expert help of the Zarrett team, I was back to my normal routine a month before the wedding - no crutches, no brace. Not only was I able to walk down the aisle, I danced the whole night and even did some mountain climbing on our honeymoon! Thank you Ilan and the rest of the Zarrett team!

I cannot recommend Zarett Rehab enough. Ive had chronic back pain for several years due to severe scoliosis leading to multiple back injuries. More recently I was in a car accident that spurred debilitating neck and scapular pain. Over the years I have been to literally a dozen physical therapists in multiple states and very few have been helpful. However, not all PTs are created equal. Zarett Rehab is a well-oiled PT machine with far superior care than I have gotten anywhere else. After one session working with Ilan and the team of exercise physiologists and massage therapists at Zarett, I knew this place was different.Ilan developed an exercise plan tailored precisely to my needs and which progressively got more challenging overtime. He always seemed to know when I was ready to try something new. My goal was to be able to run again which I thought was completely unrealistic. Ilan, on the other hand, did not. Overtime he helped me to built up my posture and strength and eventually tried me at running. Im now a month out of PT and back to running 3-5 miles at a time. Ilan always treated me with compassion and maintained an optimistic attitude even if I was negative or skeptical (which I certainly was in the beginning). He was patient and encouraging and never talked down to me as some PTs have done in the past. Ilan is by far the best PT I have worked with and I would not go to anyone else!The exercise physiologists at Zarett are incredible! They are extremely hands on and dont simply give you exercises and walk away. Instead they spot you on every rep while giving you physical or verbal cues to make sure your form is perfect.I am so grateful for the care that Ilan and all the PTs, massage therapists, and exercise physiologists at Zarett provided. Its a huge facility but everyone takes the time to get to know you and help you get back on your feet. Thank you Zarett Rehab!!!

I came to Joe Zarett in physical pain and unsure if I would be pain-free again. Joe and his staff- AJ, Tom, the massage therapists, the wonderful ladies at the front desk as well as all of the doctors of physical therapy make the experience of healing an amazing process. Without hesitation, I can honestly say that this rehab center is the best in the area. If you live or work in Philadelphia- it is the only place you should go for physical therapy. If you live in the suburbs, find a way to make this the place you go to heal, work hard to get better and get back to your life after an injury, surgery or an accident. Call Joe Zarett. You are guaranteed to get the results you need to get better and stay better!

I sought out Zarrett after realizing I needed professional help to continue running. Running a marathon was on my 30 before 30 list and I could barely get past three miles without my knee hurting. I called and they were able to get me in immediately when Rothman told me I had to wait three weeks. After three sessions I was able to run the distance and could train for the marathon. I continued to see them for three months—twice a week until my marathon was over and each session was pleasant and motivating. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and always open to hear out my concerns. Chris—one of PTs there noticed my frustrations getting closer to the marathon with some leg pain during a long run and offered to do scraping and recommend I see Sarah a message therapist before the race. This was a game changer before race day. Chris made me feel like he cared about my goal and went the extra mile. Sarah was a gem and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else other than her for a sports massage. I will be recommending Zarrett to any and everyone!

Review №116

After being discharged from two other well-known local rehab centers for pain management issues, I finally wised up and got a script for Zarett despite my apprehension after reading every Yelp review and as a 55-year-old overweight woman facing a fourth spine surgery. Calling Zarett - on the advice of a prominent Center City orthopaedic surgeon - and deciding to go was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. So, first impressions are everything, right? The front office staff (Maria, Shannon and Lisa) are always welcoming and efficient and handle the smooth operation at Zarett seemingly without effort. As an office manager, they get an A+ from me.For the rehab part of it, in my opinion, Joe Zarett has developed an outstanding model that should be franchised. Each appointment is broken down into three parts: 45-minutes with a personal exercise physiologist who not only helps to make sure you are doing the movements correctly for maximum benefit, but also to stop you immediately if something causes pain. I truly enjoyed working with each one of these kind and patient folks (thanks to AJ, Luc, Natali, Chris, Anthony, Alex). Next is a session with a massage therapist who works out your aches and pains with what I guess is the equivalent of a deep tissue massage (thank you Andrea, Jen and Megan!) And finally, a visit from a physical therapist. To say that I love Adam and Francie is an understatement. Their incredible knowledge of the human body and all its working parts provided a wealth of information for getting me back on my feet both before and after surgery and a better understanding of what I must do to avoid another. I cannot thank them - and my entire team there - enough for your collective energy and dedication to my rehabilitation.Although it wasnt the most convenient facility for me, to quote another client: Best Rehab on the Planet!

Ive been going to Zarett now for almost a month about 8 visits already due to a left rotator cuff tear. Three weeks ago when I started PT on the 26th of April I could only raise my left arm to my chest if that. Now I can stretch my arm above my head & thats almost a full stretch w/very, very slight pain.I recommend Zarett as 5☆ especially their one on one therapist /trainers. My therapist who has been working w/me Alex is excellent & really thourgh, he answers my questions, very knowledgeable & definitely knows the buisness. He is a definite asset to Zarett.And just to mention all the staff in Zarett are excellent & I am very happy that Rothman/Jeff recommended me to them.

These people are really good at what they do but they overcharged the hell out of me. I have a high deductible employer provided insurance plan so I have to pay out of pocket till I hit my $2,800 deductible.Before I started my treatment I asked them how much would each session cost me. They said We dont know call our billing department. Ive gotten PT here before and they charged me about $70-80 per session. So I thought this time would be about the same. After a seven sessions I found out that they charged me $261 for the first session, $235 for the second, and $179 for all the subsequent sessions. When I called billing to ask why I was charged more this time compared to the last time, the woman tells me that was because my previous insurance didnt cover some of the billing codes while my new insurance covers more billing codes.So essentially they charged me more because they could. So in all they charged my insurance $1,500 and charged me $1,400 for 7 sessions. That works out to $414 per session. Each session was 1 hour long so thats $414/hour!

Review №134

Where do I even begin. If you are person who only reads the first sentence all I will say is GO HERE. The rest is for Injured athletes.When my injury needed physical therapy I made a mistake. That mistake was going to Novacare. My wonderful surgeon, Doctor Hammoud (rockstar; highly recommended), was so unpleased with the result at my first follow up, she immediately called Joe Zarrett.Walking in, before you see anyone, you know this is elite. Stand alone building, buzzer door, only an elevator entrance, this is legit. When you arrive at the 2nd floor, the wonderful receptionists are there greeting you with smiles (at 7am). They have lockers with keys to keep your possession safe. Private bathroom with showers, for those who do not have a lot time and need to rush right back into your busy schedule.Now to the important things, physical therapist. You get one on one treatment. These professionals are seeking for you to be 100 percent ASAP. They will push, you will sweat, you will feel pain, and you will see those rewards. In that one and a half hours, you will feel like the only person they ever cared about in their profession. Remembering not only your, I’d like to call it, work out (which will never be the same), but things that happen in your life. The personal relationship and trust that you gain with your therapist is what helps you succeed. Trust is everything for someone who is injured, and they earn that by their patients immediately.Basically, if you are an active person, and want to be 100% ASAP, this is your place. Don’t research more. I went to that other place, I made the mistake for you.Side note: they have massage therapist that come in BEFORE the dreadful stretch. Sorry first time injures, the stretching is the hardest thing you will go through, but it needs to be done. Bite the towel and take it. BUT THE MASSAGE, each one is magical and they know how to loosen you up more, and they too make you feel special.Remember... Joe Zarett is there, he is taking notes, he will pop in, he will add to your program. Nicest guy who only and wants succeed.-I am a climber, runner, biker aka active person. Again GO HERE!Moral of story... GO TO ZARETT!!!!!!!!

Over many years this group has never failed to rehab my injuries, strengthen my body, and dissipate the pain. They have a great combination of strength and flexibility training mixed with massage and stretching. If you are hurt go there. If you want to get strong go there.

Where should i begin with this unprofessional establishment!I went here taking some clients that i work with. I sat in the lobby with my eyes closed(but not sleep) the owner who i never met so I didnt know who he was walked passed me and said she needs to get up. I heard him but didnt pay it any mind. He repeated his self and told his assistant you need to handle THAT serious;y. I open my eyes and and decided to go sit in the car because i didnt want to curse him out. I called up there later to speak to him and let him know it was very rude how he spoke to me we was instantly busy! HE WENT INTO THE CLIENTS SESSION AND TOLD THEM HE KICKED ME OUT BECAUSE I MADE HIS BUSINESS LOOK BAD! He said things about ,e in other sessions to them about me afterwards. HE THEN CONTINUED TO CALL MY JOB SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I LEFT A BAD REVIEW! I called to speak to him about the review and let him know Im starting to feel HARASSED and he lied and said he never called and hung up on me. Let it be known I and a women and African american. I have seen others sleep in the lobby often waiting for friends etc and he never said anything to them. I would recommend this place the owner is extremely rude!

Joe and his team worked on my back after I aggregated it badly. After a month of PT they sent me on my way with a solid regimen and I haven’t needed to go back. I think that’s the testament to their expertise.

Zarett Rehab offers the only substantive, comprehensive, effective personalized therapy I would ever use to recover from an injury or surgery. Despite an hour commute each way, the travel to them is worth the time because I know that I will be in the best shape possible when my rehab concludes. At the end of each session, they reevaluate me, stretch and massage tight muscles, and add electric stim, if necessary. Their encouragement is icing on the cake. There is no other option for rehab than Zarett.
