Personality, performance, and place to go if you want to get fixed. Dr. Brandon has been a blessing.

Where do I even begin? Dr.Brandon Evans has truly exceeded all expectations in regard to my low back/hip pain. He takes deep pride in his profession, knowledge base, and educating his clients throughout the session which I’ve been incredibly grateful for. He actively addresses problems through multiple therapeutic modalities and has a holistic approach second to none. Brandon is a wealth of knowledge and experience, you will learn more than you could imagine during your session.If you are looking to find real longterm solutions and pain relief from a strong science-based and holistic approach, look no further than ProActive PT. Go see Brandon, you will thank yourself for doing so. This man is a blessing, truly out for nothing less than the best possible outcomes for his clients and I can’t say enough great things about him. Forever grateful for all he’s fixed thus far and all that is to come.

I came in with very little hope that my knee issues would ever be resolved. Thanks to Brandon's expertise and patience, we figured out it wasn't actually my knee – it was a combination of mobility and connective issues! I never would've solved this on my own without his guidance, and I am so grateful. Highly recommend.

Brandon is the best!! I had a shoulder injury during wrestling and Brandon got to me back to 100% for all 3 of my sports! Most definitely recommend!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Proactive Physical Therapy and Dr. Brandon Evans! My son injured his shoulder and we were so worried he might miss his football season. Dr. Evans worked with him tirelessly, creating a plan that not only helped him heal but made him stronger and more confident. Thanks to their incredible care and encouragement, he is now the starting quarterback for his high school team and having an amazing year! Even being named the Touchdown Friday Night Player of the week. We are beyond grateful for the expertise, kindness, and genuine support from Dr. Evans and the whole team. Proud parent moment for sure—thank you for helping make this dream possible!

Brandon and his team are absolutely amazing to work with! Brandon makes sure that he creates a treatment plan designed specifically to you. Neurologists were never really able to help with my chronic migraines, but after a few dry needling sessions with Brandon, my migraines have subsided substantially. I highly recommend ProActive!

I was over the top impressed with Brandon and the staff at ProActive. I was confident that Brandon had a clear understanding of my condition and really listened to my concerns and goals. He is so friendly and professional. I highly recommend ProActive PT to anyone.

Omg where do I start? Everyone here is so wonderful and caring from the 2 receptionists to all the therapy workers in the back and Teresa the owner is amazing. These people are the best there is. They give 100% every time I can feel terrible. I can feel down and when I leave, I’m so happy every single time so thanks to all of them. They’re all wonderful and I wouldn’t dare go anywhere else. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

I have enjoyed the best possible personal training experience during my one hour sessions with Karina. She started with a detailed assessment of my fitness and goals and has worked diligently each session to meet my needs.

Brandon and staff are top notch. I came to Proactive after having a complex ankle surgery. Being a 5 year old injury I not only had to overcome the surgical recovery but also getting my legs and body back to a congruent state. Brandon cared for the injury, gave me top of the line medical technology to help speed up recovery, and continued to help me balance my lame leg with renewed strength and mobility. He gave me the ability and confidence to be an athlete again, which I had all but given up.I came for physical therapy and “left” with family. I can’t recommend this crew enough.

I highly recommend the entire ProActive Physical therapy and Wellness Team. My husband and I have both received physical therapy from their top notch physical therapist Dr. Brandon. Brandon listens to each client and spends time getting to know you before developing a treatment plan. Brandon treated my back issues with an individualized approach. Dr. Brandon also collaborates with personal trainer, Karina, so that my personal training sessions are individualized to meet my needs. I recommend both Dr. Brandon and Karina without reservations for physical therapy and personal training. They truly care about each client and treat you like family. It has been a blessing to receive exceptional care from the Proactive Physical therapy team.

Eddie Driskell

1749378781

Dr. Brandon is more than a PT. He's like a detective. He'll keep asking you questions about your specific issue until he figures out exactly what it is and how best to treat it. He has done wonders for my back and neck. He also works with Karina, their personal trainer, to give her specific things to work on with you during your training sessions that focus on specific issues related to you. They are definitely NOT a one size fits all facility. They are geared towards the individual.

As both a patient and a physician, I can confidently say that Brandon at ProActive Physical Therapy provides exceptional care. I first saw him for a chronic knee issue that had been interfering with my judo training and competition. Thanks to his targeted and thoughtful approach, I was able to heal completely and return to competing even at middle age myself - something I wasn’t sure would be possible.As a lifestyle medicine and functional medicine physician, I appreciate Brandon’s philosophy: he focuses on empowering patients to recover fully, stay active, and avoid unnecessary procedures and medical visits. The feedback from patients I’ve referred to him is always the same—he listens, individualizes care, and gets results.Proactive Physical Therapy is a rare combination of clinical excellence and genuine care. I trust ProActive completely and highly recommend to anyone looking to heal, perform, and stay out of the doctor’s office

Brandon with ProActive Physical Therapy has been a breath of fresh air while going through an injury. After a handful of medical appointments, I was simply told I had a herniated disk. In my gut, I was skeptical so I went to see Brandon. He listened to me, asked me a ton of questions and made no assumptions. After his assessment, we were confident we had pinpointed the issue that was causing me pain and ALSO the root of what caused the injury. I could feel his passion so we set out a treatment plan and got to work. I immediately started to feel relief and I improved after each session. Brandon also made sure that after almost every session, I had instructions in my email inbox or text messages with demos of stretches & exercises to do at home.Brandon is the real deal and after you speak with him, you’ll be able to tell he knows his stuff.

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!

Ann McHealy

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.

Will Whitehouse

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.

Gina Vitale

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.

John Taylor

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!

Molly Roberson

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!

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!
