Jeanne McGee2024-03-23The physical therapists have helped me regain right knee function after total right knee replacement. I have only great things to say about ProActive Physical Therapy. I will go there again should I need PT in the future.Karen Rowland2024-03-18This place is Awesome. Each employee is beyond nice. They really care for their clients. From the time you walk in until the time you leave you feel like you are welcomed and cared for.Rebekah Miller2024-03-12Staff is knowledgeable, friendly and professional!Hannah Briggs2024-02-27If you’re looking for somewhere that will take into consideration every single detail about you and your health. This is the place for you. ProActive is more than just a physical therapy, it’s genuinely a family. Brooke Suggs went out of her way to help me better understand my knee and how my body is responding to exercises. She went above and beyond giving me advice on different exercises to try to help strengthen my leg. Every staff member at ProActive will make you feel welcomed every single time you walk in. I genuinely looked forward to PT every session because it was healing for my knee but also healing for my spirit. They lift you up and they keep you up. They will be your biggest champions I promise. I never left a single session without many smiles and laughs. P.s. Brooke deserves a raise. She absolutely did not have to answer any of my questions it was well after closing yet she not only answered but gave advice and suggestions to try. She is an absolute treasure. Everyone at ProActive is!Greta Neuman2024-02-23The therapists here are top notch and the support from the PTAs is excellent as well. Their front desk staff are really friendly and kind and get to know everyone who walks in the door. This office is small but with that, you get much more personalized therapy. This is not a cookie cutter, you have knee pain, so do these 5 exercises every visit and we'll discharge you after 5 visits. They listen and adjust treatment based on patient feedback, much moreso than any other PT office I've ever been to. I thought my problem was just arthritis in my knees - but they were able to get to the reason why the arthritis developed to treat the source. My whole family has gone to Proactive and we know how valuable it is to our health.Angela Griffin2024-01-05Treatment sessions are individualized to meet the needs of their patients. Professional , caring, and thorough are adjectives that describe their staff.William Good2023-12-15Awesome staff and great services, from the office to the therapy room, very professional staff.Stephanie Hallisy2023-12-11I was suffering with one of the worst headaches I've EVER had in quite a while - almost to the point of needing to go home and feeling quite nauseated. For several hours, I tried different remedies to feel better but nothing worked. Courtney offered dry needling to alleviate the pain. She used about 5 or so very tiny needles and left them in for about 15 minutes or so. I never felt the needles being set and only experienced a "heaviness" in the left temple area. The heaviness wasn't uncomfortable or painful at all - it was just a light "heaviness." After the needles were removed, my headache was completely gone. I can't believe something that small would make such an impact and help me feel much, much better. Research definitely supports dry needling. It helps to decrease muscle tightness, increase blood flow and reduce pain - and I can certainly attest to this in my case today. I've also been seeing an Occupational Therapist for an injury I sustained to my dominant arm. She listened to all of my concerns and prescribed just the right exercises to get me back on track. She provided me with an online platform that reaches out to me periodically to assess my progress. We had to tweak some of the exercises initially, but I can say that everything went perfectly well!Chuck Smith2023-10-09Great friendly, knowledgeable staff
Our 4-Phase Physical & Occupational Therapy Framework at ProActive
Phase I: Pain Relief
Initially, your clinician addresses issues related to the main complaint. For example, many people seek a referral to PT/OT because of a complaint like “shoulder pain”. Treatment in this initial phase involves addressing the symptoms of pain, edema/swelling, tissue tension, etc. while preparing the body for the corrective or repairing stage of treatment.
Phase II: Retraining & Return to Normal Movement
As your affected body part or region begins to heal from acute or subacute symptoms and the injury or the flare-up begins to resolve, your clinician then turns the focus of treatment to retraining your body into normal movement patterns. In this phase, you learn exercises and techniques you need to enhance specific motions or movement patterns that activate the entire kinetic chain appropriately. This opens the door to functional training and functional movement activities.
Phase III: Functional Performance and Targeted Improvement (Strengthening)
After your pain is gone and normal movement becomes more normalized, the next step in the process involves reinforcing and strengthening those motor patterns and functional movements. Strengthening generally takes time. Repetitions, frequency of exercises, etc. all impact how quickly strengthening happens. In phase III, your clinician helps you strengthen the entire kinetic chain, and even the entire body, to facilitate normalized movement patterns.
Phase IV: Self-Management & Discharge with Independence
Consider this the “graduation” phase of your rehabilitation course of care here at ProActive Rehabilitation & Wellness. To reach this phase of a rehab program you have 1) overcome the pain and symptoms or limitations resulting from your main complaint or original injury 2) you’ve relearned appropriate motor patterns and reinforced them through functional activities & exercises and 3) you’ve increased strength in the entire kinetic chain of that movement or injured area. You have also demonstrated increased independence, compliance, and ability to progress your home program.

When I got the call to schedule the appointment, the office staff was friendly. I also received a detailed explanation of what my insurance would pay and my estimated out of pocket. When I got to my appointment, the staff was equally warm and the vibe of the office was welcoming. And finally, I scored a good physical therapist -she did a thorough evaluation and provided suggestions…I’m very optimistic this team is gonna be able to help.
