Brandon and his staff are the BEST! I highly recommend anyone who truly wants to improve their quality of life, check them out!Brandon is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to understanding how the body works. I cannot recommend ProActive Physical Therapy enough!

After 5 back surgeries, I was hesitant to lift on my own again. I was interested in ProActive because of their unique programming, allowing me to transition from physical therapy into gym workouts within the same facility and with the same provider, so I can apply what I've learned under supervision. I've now completed 13 sessions with Dr. Brandon and I am back to dead lifts and squats! Not only is Dr. Brandon obviously an expert in his field, he's also an empathetic, thoughtful person with whom I felt comfortable immediately. I recommend their services without any hesitation. If you're looking for a physical therapist who will make you feel safe, empowered, and motivated, ProActive is the place!

I had sepsis and have to actually learn to walk again within five days of his physical therapy. I am walking. He has a nonconventional way from other therapist. He works you hard. He knows what you need. I couldn’t be more pleased and I’ve only been five times. I’m sure you will hear more from me as I progress. I can walk up a step now I’m so happy thank you Brandon for being who you are. God bless.

Came in to relieve neck pain that was causing headaches and never done PT before. ProActive is hands down, THE BEST PLACE in Louisville to go if you need physical therapy. Brandon is extremely nice, professional and well versed in his field. Extremely personable and knowledgeable and takes the time to individualize each experience and make you feel like so much more than "just another patient." His facility is very clean, quiet, professional and welcoming. Brandon really cares about helping people and will go the extra mile to do everything he can to make sure that you are well by the time his job is done. Will absolutely recommend him to anybody that needs PT.

Brandon is truly a blessing on this earth! I’m only beginning my journey with him, but I have gone to just my first 2 sessions already and Brandon has both diagnosed me and began my journey to healing. I’ve dealt with dizziness for years unexplained and I have been in and out of the hospital, ear specialists, primary care providers, and a neurologist. Brandon gave me the answer to my problems after one 80 minute session and has began a life changing experience for me which I will forever be grateful for, words can never explain how Brandon’s knowledge and dedication has actually saved my life. Dealing with this for so long and getting no answers or relief definitely started to bring on depression for me and after meeting Brandon I have hope for an active healthy lifestyle! I look forward to the rest of my sessions with Brandon this is truly a life changer and I can never thank him enough God put him on this earth to change lives and that’s exactly what he is doing!

Dr. Evans is unlike most physical therapists you will typically visit. I've been on the hunt for a great PT for YEARS ever since mine moved out of the state. I've been to Results, Kort, Dunn, and so on and wasn't impressed or feeling my best. Diagnosed with sacroiliitis and left forward pelvic tilt, I have been experiencing debilitating low back/hip stiffness and aching since 2020. Dr. Evans has already changed my life in drastic ways, even as dramatic as it sounds. Being a mother who couldn't sit on the floor to play with her children without pain has been physically and emotionally draining. After completing just 6 sessions with Dr. Evans, I was able to spend time on the beach collecting shells and sifting for shark's teeth for HOURS without pain. My husband even noticed that I wasn't complaining , which is a major win! Dr. Evans doesn't just pass out exercises for you to do at home like most PT facilities. Several modalities are used in his office including PEMF, massage chair, red light therapy, dry needling, trigger point hand work, stability and strength training, and thorough education regarding body mechanics. Yoga and gym sessions are also available. If you're interested in trying out ProActive PT and Wellness, Adrienne will be your first point of communication. She will spend a great deal of time learning about your physical issues and goals for healing. She is so personable and energetic that she makes you feel like anything is attainable and achievable. With each visit she greets you warmly, offers snacks and drinks, and stops what she's doing to get to know you as a person. She is such a great asset to the office! The business they have all grown together is simply amazing and others should take note. My only hope for a better practice is that they were closer to me ! Try them out, you won't regret it.

This place is awesome. They are so friendly, kind and really make you feel comfortable. They are caring and I am not even a patient and they strive to make me comfortable every time I take my sister in law to her appointment. Their office is clean and accommodating for any and all of your needs. They have several different programs that is suitable to any and all needs.

Brandon is a talented physical therapist who thinks outside of the box. Brandon has no quit in him, he will find a solution to your problem and listens to you truly wants to help you. He has helped me after a total knee replacement in only a few visits, after going to 2 different therapy groups with poor results before. The office is inviting as well as the staff. Give Brandon a chance to improve your conditions, you will not be let down or treated like a number.

JUNE 19, 2024I would like to add a post about the wonderful work Dr. Emily Evans has done with my sister in law. She has gone from not even being able to make a cup of coffee to being able to drive and cook for herself!Her mobility and range of motion have improved greatly as has her mental state. She is not experiencing the depression and feeling of being "useless" and on her way to a nursing home. I would highly recommend that if you, or a loved one, is struggling to stay in their home, please reach out! I cannot express how wonderful this program is! I have been with this practice for a few years now, and still think they are THE BEST!!***********I found Dr.Evans after experiencing an injury that resulted in a very painful, immobile shoulder. It was important to me to find a therapist who did not push pharmaceuticals.He took a lot of time to assess the injury, before moving ahead with a treatment plan that was both affordable, and worked with my schedule.He also provided home exercises, and consistent follow up.Thanks to Brandon, I now have the use of my shoulder- without drugs!He is very knowledgeable, caring, and has my highest recommendation!

Been a regular runner for more than 10 years and have been dealing with lower back pain for the last several years. Finally I had enough. I went to Proactive and Dr Brandon listened to everything I had to say and put together a treatment plan. He showed me how to take care of my aches and pains and in the end, what he did for me helped me get back out there with no pain. Thanks to everyone at Proactive. You guys rock!!

i can be a very nervous person when doing something new, but everyone at Pro Active made my therapy for my knee and ankle so much less stressful. They are attentive, understanding, and patient throughout all of it. They truly are the best at what they do, and will make you feel so comfortable every step of your therapy. I should’ve started way sooner!!

I have known Brandon since 2019 and have worked with him several times to improve my strength and stability. I came back recently to figure out why I was having shoulder pain. Brandon took the time to test my shoulder to determine what was causing the pain. We then came up with a treatment schedule and exercises that are easy to do anywhere which helps with my busy schedule. Brandon and Adrienne are top notch and they’re there for whatever you need. 10/10 recommend this dynamic duo.

This is a great solution if you are not afraid of hard work. The relief I have felt can not be easily described other than to say I am getting back to the old me.After a broken back, ProActive helped me to avoid surgery and I have no long term side effects or pain after my recovery from the injury.Now I am bicycling, snowboarding, golfing, and enjoying life in the way I want to!

I can’t express how much I LOVE proactive rehab! They’re the most dynamic team. Originally I wanted to expand my knowledge so I could refer my orthopedic patients to their facility. But then I decided to use their services for myself. They have so many options to choose from not limited to only physical therapy but a gym, massage with an emphasis on myofascial tissue release, and even medical grade PEMF therapy which is incredibly healing, it has helped me tremendously. They’re professional yet approachable. You’re not gonna be treated like another patient rather you’ll have high quality care. They truly do care about you!

Everyone in the office care about you. They are very knowledgeable and work to help you get back to the physical activity you want. They listen as well as watch you as you do the exercises you need to be the best you can be. By far they are the best choice in physical therapy and training.

I love Proactive Physical Therapy! The entire staff is super welcoming and hospitable. They make sure you get exactly what you need.I came to Proactive because I was experiencing lower back for several years with no improvement after going through a treatment program by a different PT company. From my very first consultation and evaluation to now week 3 of my sessions, I’ve felt heard every step of the way and feel like I have a treatment plan catered to my unique needs and goals.I’m excited to finish my treatment program so I can participate in the personal training services they offer.

I had the pleasure of experiencing a massage therapy session with Jessica, and it was nothing short of exceptional. ProActive's skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for their clients truly set this experience apart. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting them - your body and mind will thank you!

I feel fortunate to have discovered ProActive! I had hip replacement less than 2 months ago and had had physical therapy while in “rehab” and later at home. I was impressed that so much time was spent to assess my condition and what I desired as a successful outcome of physical therapy. A personalized plan was developed, which I have been following with Dr. Jessica, who is one of the best physical therapists I have ever had. Besides being knowledgeable, she answers questions I have about the exercises. We have a full hour of therapy, unlike home or rehab PT which is usually 40-45 minutes. I can now see myself enjoying yoga again (and getting up from the mat without help). The ProActive environment is always welcoming and bright!

I have been seeing Jessica twice a week for a few weeks and I have already made so much progress! They also make it an amazing atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Everyone is so nice and personal:) I love it and would highly recommend!!!

This place is outstanding!! The key is that all of the treatments are custom to your specific needs vs cookie cutter. I was looking for help after an MRI showed 2 herniated disc. I spent 3 months in standard PT with little improvement. I had left leg and heel pain and weakness. I have seen more progress here in 3 weeks than I did before in 3 months!!! I am very active and I want to stay that way. Proactive is committed to keeping me that way!!!!

This team at ProActive is phenomenal. They came to my company wellness fair and blew all our employees out of the water with what they do and their level of personalization for everyone’s personal needs and concerns. You need to explore them on so many levels. Overall wellness is so important and I love the programs they have around wellness for everyone. I have been so surprised by how engaging they are with me and their real interest in caring about what they can do for others. Adrienne and Brandon, you guys rock!!!!! See you tomorrow. Lol. Thanks for taking care of me.

I met Dr. Brandon at a wellness fair at work. I immediately signed up for custom orthotics for terrible foot pain. The team was amazing! I got in for a full assessment within a week and they helped me understand the root of the pain. My orthotics arrived quickly and feel great! There's some soreness as my feet adjust to being aligned and in the correct position but it's so much less pain than just yesterday. I've already ordered a second pair for dress shoes! So excited to continue partnering with the ProActive team for my complete journey to wellness.

Going beyond physcial determination that ProActive offers, Dr. Brandon helps with the mental confidence lacking in patient's also. Dr. Brandon brings out the best in people while working with our Physical Therapy problems. He is by far one of the best therapist I have ever had.
