1:1 Care
Every session. Every time. You deserve better than being passed between different therapists or being supervised by a tech your entire session. Your outcomes and experience are our sole focus.
Clear Plan and Checkpoints
We believe in results. Through a thorough full-body assessment, we pinpoint the root cause of your issue. We then provide a clear roadmap from beginning to end to achieve your goals and ensure progress with frequent testing and re-testing.
Fitness Forward
This is not your typical run-of-the-mill clinic. The challenges of your goals await you. We'll make sure you are strong and resilient enough to meet them.
Comprehensive Management
We blend in-person sessions with remote programming, fitting your care plan seamlessly into your life commitments. Our goal isn't just pain resolution; it's enabling you to return to your passions without constraints.
Guidance
Feel like you have the equipment and motivation, but just need help with the plan? This is for you. We will be there for every step of this journey
Independence
Life's busy, right? Asynchronous programming allows you to work on your time and schedule creating better consistency and sustainability. We're here for the long term change; not quick fixes.
Bridge the Gap
Too often people exit their rehab journey as soon as pain goes away or insurance cuts them off. Then are shocked when they are back to square one later on. Let's instead think of using programming to resolve the root issue long-term versus counting visits.
Communication
We are going to talk A lot. Working remotely means that communication is the highest priority. Think of having a physical therapist in your back pocket to help troubleshoot all decisions and situations you'll encounter on this journey back to 100%.

Step 3: Embark On The Journey To Moving And Feeling Better
Choosing Embark Physio and Performance means partnering with a clinician who prioritizes your unique goals and delivers care that seamlessly integrates into your lifestyle. Our distinctive hybrid model—combining in-person sessions with remote programming—ensures you receive consistent, personalized support, whether you're at the clinic or at home.

At Embark, every session is one-on-one, ensuring your therapist's full attention. We employ objective testing tools like the Tindeq Progressor and My Jump Lab to track your progress accurately. Our treatment philosophy encompasses three phases: Restore, Rebuild, and Re-envision, guiding you from pain relief to achieving your highest physical aspirations. Patients consistently highlight the personalized care and commitment they experience here. One client shared, "Zach has truly been the best. He has a genuine curiosity about his patients' injuries, goals, and recovery that make it very easy to trust him."
If you're seeking a physical therapy experience that adapts to your life and empowers you to exceed your goals, Embark Physio and Performance is your ideal choice.
1) Restore
This first phase is all about getting you back to feeling like yourself.
Move Better: We work on restoring comfortable, natural movement.
Manage Pain: The goal is to get your pain to a manageable level so it’s no longer holding you back.
Rebuild Basic Function: Think pushing, pulling, squatting, hinging, lunging, carrying—getting these movements back is key.
This stage is like hitting reset. We’re laying the groundwork so your body is ready for what’s next.
2) Rebuild
Once your movement and pain are under control, it’s time to level up.
Get Stronger & More Durable: We start building real strength and resilience so you can move with more power and confidence.
Create a Solid Base: You’ll develop the capacity to handle physical challenges again and again without breaking down.
This phase is about building a strong, reliable body that’s ready for whatever life—or training—throws at it.
3) Re-envision
Now we shift from recovery to performance.
Set Big Goals: What would you go after if you weren’t worried about pain or injury? Let’s go there.
Trust Your Body Again: This is where confidence takes over—you’re no longer just out of pain, you’re ready to push limits.
This is the fun part: redefining what you’re capable of and realizing your full potential.
Nope, I don’t take insurance—and that’s actually on purpose.
There are two main reasons for this:
First, staying out-of-network lets me give you a way more personalized and thorough experience. In most insurance-based clinics, therapists have to juggle multiple patients at once and often get boxed into what the insurance will or won’t cover. I want to be able to give you the time, attention, and treatment you actually need to get all the way back to doing what you love—without cutting corners.
Second, being out-of-network gives me the flexibility to stay closely involved in your care through some level of remote programming. Making real progress and getting out of pain takes time—and honestly, the biggest changes happen in the hours and days between sessions. That’s where the real work lives. My model takes the guesswork off your plate and keeps your rehab on track every step of the way, even if we’re not meeting in person. Instead of the usual setup where you see someone a bunch early on and then only check in here and there, I’m with you from start to finish. A lot of my clients—especially busy folks—really appreciate that consistent support, because it keeps things moving forward every week and makes the whole rehab process feel way clearer.
We accept cash, credit card, or debit card. We also accept health savings accounts (HSA) and flexible savings accounts (FSA).
In addition, we can provide you with an itemized receipt called a "superbill" for each session. This can be submitted to your insurance for an out-of-network reimbursement. To determine if you are eligible for this, please contact your insurance company.
Zach is an A class physiotherapist. He is extremely knowledgeable, and from our first consultation via zoom and then our very first in person session, I felt immediately at ease with his competence and professionalism. I have been working with Zach on my shoulder pain/mobility issues since January 2025 and I have been regaining skills that I lost, Now, I am mostly pain free, and able to to bear more weight in my shoulder joint, and experiencing increased mobility. I feel optimistic that very soon I will be back to my normal level of functioning. He is responsive and tailors every exercise to meet our targeted goals. I recommend his services whenever I hear of a need. He truly is gifted.
I can’t recommend Zach enough! He found me at Orange Theory with a running injury that had been holding me back. From the very first session, Zach took the time to really understand my injury and create a recovery plan that was tailored to me. Thanks to his expertise, encouragement, and care, I’m now back to running stronger and more confident than ever. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares about your progress, Zach is the one to see!
Working with Zach is exactly what I needed to fix all my aches and pains. I had nagging shoulder/neck pain that I had for YEARS. I tried everything to “fix” my problem and nothing seem to keep it away. I was referred to Zach and I immediately knew he was the perfect fit for me. From meeting him in person and having our first session together to working out a daily plan was what fit my busy schedule. Zach was always in constant communication with me and when needed we had FaceTime and phone calls. He always checked in to see what was working for me and what we needed to change. It was very adaptable and it was exactly what I needed. I am finally back to doing the overhead/kipping movements at the gym that always resulted in neck/shoulder pain and even horrible headaches. I am happy to be pain free and keep it that way. I highly recommend working with Zach.
