The Visionary: Joe Zarett, MPT

Meet Joe Zarett, MPT

Joe Zarett founded Zarett Rehab & Fitness with a simple but powerful realization: traditional physical therapy often stops right when the real work begins.
A Russian immigrant who arrived in Philadelphia with just $500, Joe built Zarett Rehab from a small basement practice into a 12,500-square-foot state-of-the-art facility near Rittenhouse Square. Joe’s “charismatic obsession for care” has made him the go-to fixer for the city’s power brokers, professional athletes, and socialites.

The Zarett Method: A Three-Prong Approach

The Science of Living Pain-Free

The Zarett Method is a unique, standardized approach that ensures every client achieves the most effective physical outcome. We use a science-driven, three-prong model for every patient

Strength Training

Strength is the foundation of injury prevention. Our programs develop better body mechanics while promoting bone health and muscle growth. We ensure your body is resilient enough to handle the demands of your specific lifestyle, whether that’s professional or recreational sports or activities of daily living.

Flexibility Improvement

Muscles can only work efficiently if joints can move through their full range of motion. By improving your flexibility, we decrease the risk of future strains and allow your body to move with the fluid efficiency it was designed for.

Manual Muscle Work

We believe in a “hands-on” approach. Every session at Zarett concludes with highly effective manual therapy and deep tissue techniques. This hands-on approach supports recovery, improves symptom management, and helps break down scar tissue to promote optimal outcomes.
