Louisville's #1 Choice For Natural Low Back Pain Relief

We Challenge The Dogma That You Need To "Slow Down" As You Age

Don't take our word for it. Listen below how Gary went from not being able to get out of bed (due to back pain) to once again enjoying his life and passions

What Are The Benefits Of Physical Therapy?

  • We treat patients just like you every day. They walk through the doors of our physical therapy clinic in a low-energy state, feeling stressed, depressed, and sleep-deprived. 
  • We quickly identify the source of their pain and get to work – and after just a few sessions when we’ve worked our magic, educated them, and gifted them with a “toolbox” of therapeutic stretching and strengthening exercises.
  • They leave the clinic with a spring in their step and hope in their heart again. 
  • Let me tell you, nobody is happier or more excited to see them improve than us. That’s for sure. Our practice is built on this.
  • The more we know, the better we can help you get relief, get a plan, and get back to the things you love.

What Other People Are Saying About Our Physical Therapy Clinic

I am an avid golfer and have battled full on tendinitis in both my elbows for what would be 2 years this March. In May of 2023 I was forced to have surgery in my left elbow due to a severe tendon tear. My right elbow hurt, but didn’t need surgery. After finishing my rehab and being cleared back after 3 months I noticed two things. One, my left arm did not really feel recovered; and two my right arm even after resting for 3 months still was plagued with tendinitis. The goal of the physical therapy I was receiving seemed to be much less than the goal I was trying to achieve….playing golf often.In August of 2023 I was recommended to ProActive by a friend and have never looked back. The first thing Brandon did with me was getting me active in a smart way while also conducting physical therapy. He was adamant that the longer I sat around and didn’t push myself, the longer this recovery would take. He gave me the confidence to strengthen my body and showed exercises to strengthen my entire body while also strengthening my tendons. He pushed me to get back to golfing, probably before I would have on my own, which turned out to be a huge psychological boost.I am very happy I went to ProActive and am sure my recovery from the surgery and elbow tendinitis was vastly accelerated due to the treatment I was given.

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!

My experience at ProActive was beyond wonderful and beneficial. Brandon, and the rest of the team at ProActive, were kind, knowledgeable, and hospitable. The facility is top-notch and clean. I had an excellent experience, and they made me a game-plan that fit my budget for when I need to come back and see them for my neck/backpain. ProActive is worth it!

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 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!

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.

As a 45 year old, lifetime runner who focuses on longer distances, my hips, back, and achilles were starting to reject my efforts. Massage and stretching were not making a difference and I decided to try out Proactive to try something new. I was introduced to Jessica and she was able to quickly identify multiple weak points. Over several weeks, through soft tissue work, exercises, and stretching the running started to get easy again. I highly recommended Jessica and Proactive because they do a great job of explaining the exercises and the related anatomy as well as address the problem with multiple solutions.

Brandon is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me out with my back pain when no one else could. Great resource for athletes. Bonus points for the whole staff being so nice!
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.

I’m telling as many people as possible about the Proactive wellness center. Because after being told that I would have to live with and adjust to the pain effects of right shoulder bursitis I was diagnosed with in June, I had set my mind to just that. That was until an HONEST chiropractor told me that I could benefit from PT. Thus began my search and God led me to PROACTIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND WELLNESS, I checked out the website & I made an appointment on line. I received a call from Michelle informing me that my first visit was an assessment and plan and it was complimentary….well my complimentary visit lasted for 2.5 hours in which I was fully educated on my condition, cause and plan to return to normalcy without pain meds. I was so impressed. After the 2nd visit I actually felts so encouraged that I started spreading the word. Dr Brandon Evans “Brandon” and his Wonderful Staff are without exception- the BEST. My only regret is that I have to return to the Dominican Republic after only 8 visits, but I’m returning almost back to normal, and will be able to resume my Missionary duties with renewed vigor and pain Free. Thanks to Brandon, Jessica, Michelle and Loren. God bless you all as you continue to bless others. 🙏🏼✨
