Optimize Physical Therapy & Performance

Optimize truly is light years ahead of the game when it comes to Physical Therapy and Personal Training. They are undeniably the best physical therapy office in not only the state of Nevada, but I believe in the country. Their relationships and knowledge they share with their clients is unmatched. My body has never felt better and the information they’ve shared with me has helped me further my journey towards being a better athlete. Optimize has a beautiful facility that offers much more than your average PT Clinic. They work with some of the most high level athletes in sports so their reputation speaks for itself. Zaki and his team are truly remarkable in what they do and most importantly how they treat people.

Christina and I representing Las Vegas Gold elite running team started working with Dr Carmen last year, we are so excited with our progress and resilience that he has been able to instill into our workouts. Dr Carmen is so knowledgeable & passionate about our needs as elite runners. He has taught us so much in such a short time. Working on very detailed and specific aspects of our training has made us build strength & stability in areas that are critical for our injury prevention. During our time working with Dr Carmen I stumbled on a pine cone and twisted my ankle I though I was going to be ok but my Achilles did flare up and I was unable to run ( and hardly walk) I immediately came to see Dr Carmen where he assessed me and we worked on some critical things immediately. The work we had previously done helped my strength and stability which meant that I was already ahead of the game. I was still nervous and worried that I would cause more damage but his knowledge and expertise was incredible!! It was like a magic trick I was able to get back to my FULL running schedule in 9 days. I am very thankful for the support & incredible knowledge of all the staff at optimize . They work together as a solid team and we are so excited to be working with them and have them in our corner for continued success with our running endeavors. 🙌🏻😊

I've been seeing Dr.Zaki for about three years now and I have nothing but amazing things to say about him and his facility. Every time I go in everyone is always so welcoming. Dr.Zaki always targets my needs and concerns and always recommends the best for my recovery. I've been through many different therapy facilities and this is by far the best and most effective one I have gone to! Highly recommend.

I was referred to Dr. Christie by a friend. Prior to seeing her, I had been to two other Physical Therapists over the past eight months without much relief from sciatica. I had met with five ortho specialists and they suggested medication, steroid injections or surgery as the last option. I was taking painkillers and had a steroid injection that made my pain worse. My life revolved around how my sciatica was doing day by day (most days not great). I had been a runner and hiker and quit those activities. I was desperate for relief! During the initial consultation Christie diagnosed what was causing my pain without looking at my records and scans! She looked at how I walked and stood. Over the past few months, I’ve had weekly sessions of dry needling and on-site exercises and feel 80% better! I decided to purchase a package and will continue treatment. They only take out of pocket payments and I decided that my health is worth the investment. Christie is extremely patient and follows up with me on how the home exercises are going. If I have any concerns or questions about my form, she is always available for answers. I also feel like she cares about my healing. :) I’ve referred her to others that have injuries. Overall I highly recommend Christie!

As an ex-Navy SEAL with 12 years of service, I have encountered various challenges and high standards in my career. Dr. Zaki's and George’s expertise and guidance during my recovery from a herniated disc and torn bicep were truly exceptional. Their approach to rehabilitation not only met the rigorous standards I'm accustomed to but exceeded my expectations. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Zaki and George for helping me regain my strength and mobility efficiently. Their skill and dedication are second to none. If you're looking for a physical therapist who understands the demands of elite training, Dr. Zaki is the one you can trust to get you back in peak condition.

Been working with Dr. Zaki for almost a year. Originally went in after a minor golf muscle strain in my lower back. Over the past year, we have developed a solid “athletic” foundation and opened up my hips, lower back, hamstrings. I no longer have pain, gained flexibility, gained mobility and overall feel more “athletic” with daily movements. Amazing job.

I didn’t know I needed physical therapy until I started see Dr. Zaki! I’ve had multiple knee surgeries and thought I would just learn to live with the pain, but after seeing Dr. Zaki for only 6 months, he’s greatly increased my mobility in my knee as well as well as decreased my pain. I’ve still continued to see Dr. Zaki after the knee rehabilitation and now my sessions don’t even consist on working on my knee, but other aches and pains that I deal with. He’s been a lifesaver and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for anyone looking for extended, pain free quality of life

I cannot really begin to state how appreciative I am of Christie, Zaki, and the rest of the Optimize team. I was an avid orangetheory enthusiast, and while it was the best shape I’ve ever been in, my body started to obtain injuries from the constant cardio, and lack of strength. These injuries became increasingly apparent when I was training for a half marathon (think shin splints and sequelae of those kinds of things). Finally, I ended up really doing a number on my knee on a ski trip one week prior to the half. Christie made sure to get me in almost everyday and treated with her magic, dry needling and electro, and constant support. I was able to do my half and I will always be going to Christie as I make my way through my fitness journey. I’ve referred my family members and friends to her, and will continue to do so.
