  • I am an Elite Spartan Race competitor, so needless to say when I found out I had to have shoulder surgery (torn labrum), I knew exactly who I wanted for my PT doctor - Dr. Zachary Long. Zach always showed concern for any pains or issues I had between visits and took great care to make sure the right treatment was taught and used to combat those problems. Months later, I am strong, healthy and ready to compete in races again! I owe a lot of this to the care I received from Dr. Long and the CSC staff.

  • A few things separates Zach from any other PT professional. For instance, he has an ability to treat not only the issue you came to see him about, but can forsee how one issue will lead to a different problem, therefore, always providing PT drills to stay ahead of injury. Zach has a passion for what he does and that greatly shows in the time he spends with his patients, and his knowledge of the human body. Zach helped me head into the CrossFit Games injury free so I could perform as a top level athlete.

  • When you have an appointment there is no question you are his only patient with total focus on you. My recovery has far exceeded my expectations and am stronger now, then prior to surgery. Without hesitation I refer anyone who needs Physical Therapy to Zach Long

  • Hi Dr. Zach: Before I came to see you, I thought I would have to give up CrossFit completely because (my knee) would never get better. It broke my soul a little every day thinking I might have to give up something I am so passionate about. I am so grateful for you and all your work. You are so unique because of your knowledge of Crossfit and our movement patterns. Everything you did, every exercise you gave me helped me 100% to get to where I am. You know your $h!t. I can’t believe I am able to Olympic lift and pistol squat again!
