We understand this differs entirely from what you have seen in other physical therapy clinics.

If you have had physical therapy in the past, it probably went something like this:

Visit 1: You get slapped over the head with a clipboard and told to sit in the corner and fill out (what feels like a mountain) of forms.
Subsequent Visits: 5–10 min “warm up” on a bike, 20–30 minutes being instructed to do the same exercises you’ve been doing for the past four weeks (from across the room), all the while thinking, "I could be doing this at home" (not to mention you are in a large gym with no privacy).

We’ll spare you the rest...

Jamie

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 outstanding care at Proactive Physical therapy. Thank you Brandon, Karina and Taylor!Jamie Driskell

Eddie Driskell

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.

Response from the owner: Eddie, thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Your words mean more than you probably realize. We see every patient as a puzzle worth solving, and hearing that you felt that level of attention means we're doing things the right way.It’s been a privilege to help you get to the root of your back and neck issues, and I’m grateful you trusted us through that process. Working alongside Karina to build a truly individualized plan is one of the things we’re most proud of here — and your progress is a testament to the power of that team approach.We’re honored to have you as part of the ProActive family. Thanks again for your trust and kind words.

Scott Hardin

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

Response from the owner: Thank you so much, Dr. Hardin, for your thoughtful review and for sharing your perspective as both a physician and a patient. It truly means a lot to know that our approach resonated with you and supported your return to the activities you love. Your trust—both personally and with the patients you refer—motivates us to continue providing individualized, results-driven care for our community.We’re grateful to have you as a partner in helping people stay active and healthy, and we appreciate your support of our mission at ProActive Physical Therapy and Wellness. If there’s ever anything we can do for you or your patients, please don’t hesitate to reach out!Thank you again for your kind words and your confidence in our team.

CJ Sillman

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.

Response from the owner: CJ thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot that you took the time to share your experience. I’m glad we were able to take a step back, listen to what your body was telling us, and uncover not just the pain—but the root cause behind it. Helping you feel relief and get back to doing the things you love is exactly why we do what we do.Appreciate your trust, commitment, and positive attitude throughout the process. Keep up the great work—you’re making awesome progress!

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!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! Your determination and trust in our process are truly inspiring. We're thrilled to hear that you're back to doing deadlifts and squats—what an incredible achievement after everything you've been through! Dr. Brandon’s goal is always to provide expert care while creating a safe and supportive environment, so it's wonderful to know you felt empowered and motivated during your sessions. We'll be cheering you on every step of the way as you continue to build strength and confidence. Thank you for recommending us—your kind words mean the world to our team! 💪✨

mayna dichiara

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.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s incredible to hear about your progress and the hard work you’ve put in during therapy. Brandon truly has a unique approach, and it’s amazing to see how it’s already making a difference for you. Your determination and positivity are inspiring, and we’re honored to be part of your recovery journey. Keep up the fantastic work, and we can’t wait to see how much more you’ll accomplish. God bless you, and thank you again for your kind words!

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.

Response from the owner: Will, thank you so much for the thoughtful and kind review! We pride ourselves on providing personalized care in a welcoming and professional environment, and it’s wonderful to know that Brandon's expertise and dedication made such a difference for you. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we look forward to continuing to support your recovery and well-being!

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!

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey with us! We're beyond grateful for your kind words and thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Brandon. It's truly heartwarming to know that after years of searching for answers, you found hope and relief through his expertise and dedication. Your story is a testament to Brandon's commitment to helping others, and we're honored to be a part of your healing journey.Your perseverance and positivity inspire us, and we can't wait to see the continued progress you make. Thank you for trusting us with your care and for letting us be a part of your path to a healthier, more active lifestyle. We're here to support you every step of the way!

Amy Cray

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.

Response from the owner: Amy, you have truly touched our hearts with this review. So you know, we love having you with us and it's always such an adventure when you come in, you tell the best stories. More than anything, hearing you say that you got to do something you love with your family and your husband even noticed, that tops any and everything. That is why we're here. You just described what our goal is every single day with every one we come across. We can't wait to see what else you will be doing, that you thought you couldn't. Please pat yourself on the back, you're putting in the work. This is a team effort and you have the hardest part. Cheers to many more hours of you shifting shark's teeth with your family for as many hours as you desire and sitting on the floor playing with your children.

Janet Reynolds

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.

Response from the owner: Janet, we all thank you for your beautiful sentiments.

Janet Cloyd

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.

Response from the owner: Janet, thank you for your kind words.
