How We’ve Helped Others

Read up on just how incredible our care is, even for the hardest of cases.

It’d be easy just copy and paste a nice thing a patient said about their experience here, but you should know the depth of care you’ll receive at Zak Performance Health. This is a collection of in-depth testimonials about people’s lives before and after they’ve received treatment.

  • Back, neck, rib, and TMJ issues

    Feelings before treatment:

    I was in a lot of pain, unable to workout, and spent much time icing and taking Ibuprofen. I had lower middle back and neck issues, rib issues, and TMJ.

    Life before treatment:

    I was unable to lift weights which had been part of my routine for many years. I was unable to sit at the computer for long, which I needed to do for my job.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    Chiropractic (Traditional), Ice, Ibuprofen, Rest, and Acupuncture.

    Feelings since treatment:

    So, so much better! I can lift weights and workout and sit at the computer. I haven’t had Ibuprofen since I began TX. ART honestly changed my life for the better.

    Advice for future patients:

    ART did what nothing else did... improved my quality of life by 90%. My Advice? Try it!

    Comments:

    I was on the brink of spending thousands of dollars on TMJ TX that “might” work. ART did work for me. I’m back to my regular routine.

  • Back and ankle injuries

    Feelings before treatment:

    Before Zak I had a history of back and ankle injuries. In less than six months I’d sprained my ankle 5 times.

    Life before treatment:

    Being an Irish dancer, my ankle and back injuries affected my performance in practice and in competition.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    After my sprained ankles I would use ice to lower swelling. But, for the most part, I had to continue dancing with the pain.

    Feelings since treatment:

    I’m 100% better than I was before Dr. Zak. My ankles are, now, both healed and even stronger than they were previously. As for my back, I come in semi-regularly to maintain a pain-free life.

    Advice for future patients:

    Trust the advice Dr. Zak gives you. The guy knows what he’s talking about and will get you healthy fast.

  • Back pain

    Feelings before treatment:

    Not too good, I had consistent back pains, which effected my athletic performance and daily activities.

    Life before treatment:

    I had a hard time running, walking up stairs, and, sometimes, sleeping.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    I tried ice, steam, and ultrasound therapy.

    Feelings since treatment:

    I feel great. My Back is feeling better and I have been able to do more physically since I’ve been getting ART therapy.

    Advice for future patients:

    No Matter how bad you feel when you walk into Dr. Zak’s office you are guaranteed to feel better when you leave.

  • IT band

    Feelings before treatment:

    I was having problems with my IT band which made it difficult for me to engage in physical activity (ie: walking, running, cycling).

    Life before treatment:

    My Condition interfered with my ability to meet my goals (ie: running, cycling, triathlon).

    Previous attempts at relief:

    I sought out treatment from another professional which treated the symptoms, but not the underlying issue. Subsequently, the symptoms reoccurred.

    Feelings since treatment:

    My symptoms and underlying issues have improved tremendously. As a result, I was able to complete two half marathons, one triathlon, and one marathon.

    Advice for future patients:

    Dr. Zak is very knowledgeable, and he will develop a treatment plan to meet your goals. Follow his recommendations and your condition will improve.

    Comments:

    I am very grateful for the treatment I received from Dr. Zak. My condition has improved that I was able to achieve my goals. I look forward to meeting other goals with Dr. Zak’s help.

  • Sports injury

    Feelings before treatment:

    Prior to my treatments with Dr. Zak I was in constant discomfort. A sports injury improperly diagnosed and wrongly treated by numerous health professionals left me inactive and limited in my daily exercises.

    Life before treatment:

    My Discomfort caused me to be socially withdrawn and depressed. I had to discontinue nearly all participation in sports and exercises.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    The doctors continued to treat my injury with medications, injections, and physical therapy. I was not getting better I saw over a dozen different providers in five different specialties.

    Feelings since treatment:

    After a few visits his treatments began to show signs of improvements in my pain. I am now back to exercising, but, more importantly, I have returned to being an active person and am engaged in life once again.

    Advice for future patients:

    By Chance I was searching for similar cases to mine and came across Active Release Therapy. I phoned Dr. Zak who answered all of my questions and explained how ART actually works.

    Comments:

    Thank you, Dr. Zak, for your knowledge and healing techniques.

  • Right shoulder, arm, and hamstring issues

    Feelings before treatment:

    Uncomfortable with tight hamstrings. Running was compromised. Right shoulder and arm were out of alignment.

    Life before treatment:

    Tight hamstrings were uncomfortable while sitting at work. Running was tough because of the lack of range of motion.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    Rest, ice, and stretching.

    Feelings since treatment:

    Wonderful! My Range of motion has gotten so much better.

    Advice for future patients:

    Incorporate his expertise and services into your fitness plan.

    Comments:

    Treatments are up to date. Stretches are always part of an appointment.

  • Herniated Disc

    Feelings before treatment:

    With being a college athlete and having a herniated disc everyday activities including sports were very hard and painful to do. Dr. Zak helped get me stronger and better in a a way that nobody else could.

    Life before treatment:

    My condition caused everyday life to be very painful and challenging to complete.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    With my injury, the team doctors and trainers could only do so much. With the help of Dr. Zak I was able to get back on the ice much faster than I would have without him.

    Feelings since treatment:

    I feel very good and am able to return to everyday activities and resume my full ice activities for playing college hockey.

    Advice for future patients:

    My only advice would be to come to Dr. Zak for anything you need. You will never leave unsatisfied and will always feel 10X better than you did when you came in.

    Comments:

    I have been seeing Dr. Zak for a while now and with his help I’ve been able to excel both on and off the ice. The atmosphere is perfect and from my first visit to my latest I have never felt better.

  • Shin and IT band issues

    Feelings before treatment:

    I had been feeling progressively worse. I remember the last run before I began treatments. My shins were extremely sore. They were painful to the touch and my left IT band was almost as bad. I was running about 50 miles a week and hating every minute of it.

    Life before treatment:

    The pain was, pretty much, limited to running. I wasn’t biking or lifting at the time so, running was about all that was affected.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    I tried ice, rest, and more Aleve than I’d like to admit to help get rid of the pain. Nothing seemed to give me anything more than temporary relief.

    Feelings since treatment:

    Before treatment I wasn’t sure I could complete a 12 mile run. After four months of treatment I ran a marathon and have been training, pain-free, since then. There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Zak and ART has been the primary cause of this turnaround.

    Advice for future patients:

    My advice in for another runner dealing with chronic pain to see Dr. Zak. That goes for another type of athletes or people who have been living with chronic muscle, joint, or tendon pain in their everyday lives. Active release Therapy is effective and can alleviate a lot of unnecessary pain, especially for athletes.

    Comments:

    Dr. Zak is extreamly knowledgable. He is energetic and is only satisfied when his patients experience significant improvements. His mastery over ART techniques made my running both enjoyable and competitive again. I owe most of my running improvements, post-collegiately, to Dr. Zak.

  • Lower back, left shoulder, and left elbow

    Feelings before treatment:

    Ok, was feeling pain in my lower back, left shoulder, and left elbow.

    Life before treatment:

    It was tolerable, but couldn’t achieve my ultimate goals.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    Other chiropractors.

    Feelings since treatment:

    Great, would recommend Dr. Zak to others.

    Advice for future patients:

    Give him a chance, he will make a difference.

  • Shoulder Pain

    Feelings before treatment:

    In a lot of pain. I was on the edge of getting shoulder surgery.

    Life before treatment:

    My shoulder interfered with my workout routines and football. I couldn’t sleep on my stomach because of the shoulder.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    I saw some other doctors for their opinions and tried to ice and rest as much as possible.

    Feelings since treatment:

    I feel completely different. I have range of motion and use of my shoulder that injury took away.

    Advice for future patients:

    Anyone would benefit forming an appointment. You don’t necessarily have to be an athlete because he can treat any of your aches and pains.

    Comments:

    Stop trying to manage the pain on your own. Go see Dr. Zak.

  • Neck and Shoulder Pain

    Feelings before treatment:

    I had neck and shoulder pain, with burning sensation in my scalp, running behind my right ear and extending up to the top of my head.

    Life before treatment:

    I was constantly icing my head, so I wasn’t engaged in my daily routine. I stopped golfing and yoga as a result of my neck and shoulder pain.

    Previous attempts at relief:

    At first, I went to several orthopedic doctors and a neurologist, but no one could pinpoint my condition. I was using ice packs and patches to relieve the pain and burning along with a heating pad and hot showers. Nothing seemed to work.

    Feelings since treatment:

    After only four visits to Dr. Zak the pain in my shoulder and neck is very minimal and the burning in my head is down to once or twice a week in occurrence. And, I’m back to golfing!

    Advice for future patients:

    I wish I had been recommended to Dr. Thomas Zak sooner! After months of visiting doctors and home remedies, I would have been much further along in the healing process had I gone to see him sooner. If you have pain issues that keep you from enjoying your life, do not hesitate to call and make an appointment with Dr. Thomas Zak!

    Comments:

    I was impressed with all of the information Dr. Zak shared with me in regards to my condition, showing me where and why I was experiencing pain and burning. Just knowing why and how he can try to relieve my pain was assuring and calming.
