ProActive Physical Therapy | Central Tucson

Fantastic experience: I AM BEING TREATED BY DR. CRAIG SMITH AND I CANT THANK HIM ENOUGH FOR ALL THE GREAT TREATMENT AND INFO HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH. WHEN I FIRST CAME IN TO SEE HIM I DID NOT KNOW WHAT LIVING WITHOUT PAIN WAS. DR. CRAIG IS FANTASTIC AT WHAT HE DOES! HE HAS CHANGED MY LIFE COMPLETELY. :)

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about Jon Davison and the entire Proactive Team. I have spent my fair share of time doing physical therapy, and am so very grateful for the dedication, excellent care and the sensitivity with which I was treated. I highly recommend Jon.

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Dr. Craig Smith (and Kyle) for a P3 running evaluation. I had been running with pain for the last 7 years, and this was the first time someone has broken down my gait and explained how and why the pain occurred and HOW TO RESOLVE IT. Dr. Smith took time to explain each part of the test and then emailed me a comprehensive report, including photos and a written version of his recommendations. I am happy to say that I am building up to my goal mileage and so far am pain free! Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: As a physician and athlete, I highly recommend ProActive physical therapy. They definitely know what they're doing and very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Jon and the others at ProActive were integral in my progress to pain management. After a request for a specific modality that did not give benefit Jon guided meto therapies that held more promise. ProActive gave an environment for learning that was important in acceptance for the long term nature of physical therapy. Jon and others were able to track benefit of various approaches and suggest alternatives as needed. I highly recommend ProActive for physical therapy issues.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about ProActive. Their practitioners are both caring and capable. The auxillary staff is well trained, competent, and efficient. All were caring and concerned when I came in with some chronic neck issues. They helped me through the pain and made sure I knew what to do at home to sustain the healing process.

Fantastic experience: I love working with Jon D. He's always very responsive and knowledgable. He makes me feel very comfortable with his care plan, and explains all his findings and plans with me before getting started. I never feel in the dark and always feel that he cares about getting me back to running and biking. His treatment plans are always well thought out, and he's always taken into consideration the marathons, triathlons or bike races that I have coming up. However, he's never afraid to recommend to me that I need to take time off, or offer an alternative to the activity that may have been causing me pain. I trust his judgement and his ability to help me work through my physical ailments. He's also taught me about my own body's functions, proper form and training to help keep me out of his office in the future.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to PT at Proactive for the past 6 months following right knee ACL/MCL surgery in December. I worked with Seth Peterson and Ilene Kanefsky and, wow, what can I say? Both absolutely fantastic at their jobs - true professionals. I, unfortunately, also tore my left ACL 3 years ago and went to a different place in town for my PT. And while they did an okay job with the rehab, the difference in experience between there and Proactive was night and day. I would (and will) recommend ProActive and, in particular, the Paradise Falls location to anyone in need of PT. Ask for Seth or Ilene - you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I have been to several physical therapists as well as physicians, chiropractors, massage therapists, etc. about musculoskeletal pain issues without much help and definitely without resolution (with regard to one are for over ten years) until I found Chad at ProActive. I am still working on completely resolving my problems but he is the first to have identified the problems properly and have found therapy that actually works. I have much work to go building up muscle imbalances that were previously unidentified but am making significant improvement for the first time ever and am hopeful that I can get strong again and resume my highly active lifestyle. Don't waste your time at other PT places, THIS is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Proactive Physical Therapy by a friend for my first knee replacement. My knee didn't respond right away after the surgery and Proactive staff worked with me relentlessly to get full movement. They were very patient and knowledgeable and gave me plenty of exercises to help. My second knee replacement was 6 months later and I again went to Proactive for my PT. They were great and gave me different exercises and had a whole different approach because this knee was responding well to the surgery. I learned that they customize the PT exercises to each individual situation. John Woolf stayed in touch with me after my therapy sessions ended and checked to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. And, everyone has fun! I definitely recommend Proactive Physical Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I was treated by Dr. Jessica at the River Road facility, which was a long drive for me, but well worth it. She understood my problems and helped me make great progress, and included "homework" that was easy to continue at home. It was a special treat to have great views of outside when using some of the equipment. :-)

Fantastic experience: John Davion treated me after my shoulder surgery and I am very pleased. He is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to ProActive PT by a personal trainer when my neck and chronic shoulder pain were not successfully addressed by a doctor nor a osteopathic sports specialist. I had heard that physical therapy was difficult and painful but to avoid surgery, I was willing to try anything. Everyone at the Paradise Falls (River Road) location from the reception desk to the therapists and techs has been positive and professional. Kevin Fay evaluated my situation and provided a course of treatment over two months which has me able to move again and almost pain free. Once the shoulders were improving, I added massage (with Maria Sprague) which has been incredibly therapeutic. Feeling confidence in the facility, I decided to address another chronic condition (trigger finger) with hand specialist Eileen Ware. Her specialized program of therapy and exercise has significantly reduced the pain and increased my ability to use my hand. Feeling ready to return to exercise but cautiously guarding the gains I had made, I signed on for some personal training sessions with Eric Hobson. This has been productive and surprisingly enjoyable. I am completely sold on ProActive Physical Therapy and recommend it for anyone seeking to reduce pain or improve the use of their body.

Fantastic experience: Referred to Kevin Fay at ProActive by Monika Harrison, Azuna Therapies. Recently had 2 neuromas removed from my foot. Kevin has tremendous knowledge and was hands-on helping my foot heal quickly and without scar tissue. He helped me prepare for a Rim to Rim hike through the Grand Canyon 12 weeks after surgery. My foot felt great! Thanks Kevin.

Fantastic experience: All the staff here are amazing. The front office staff Tiffany is so friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Ashley is awesome, too bad she’s a traveling nurse, I would like to have her as a physical therapist even after my surgery depending on if I need it. But with her treatment and her consideration, I know I’ll get better. Wendy, the office manager is very accommodating and on top of paperwork. Got one of my other claims approved very quickly for my injury, and things are looking on the up and up for both of my injuries now. Looking forward to an unfortunately, lengthy, but regardless, recovery. :)

Fantastic experience: Well I messed up my knee once again, in a cycling incident.. I have really bad knees with osteoarthritis and little cartilage left, but these guys have worked a miracle. Seriously, nothing is better than quality, individualized physical therapy - and Rick really knows his stuff. He could see where I was tight, inflexible, and what needed strengthening. After only a month I'm almost back to normal and riding strong on the bike again. Thanks also to Lena, Andrea and the other friendly staff members who are so helpful and always have a smile on their face. I really love this place!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! Professional, courteous, caring & expert custom physical therapy services. Their front desk staff is always courteous & attentive to your needs. Warwick is one of a kind physical therapist whose level of experience and expertise speaks for itself. Tucson is incredibly lucky to have such a gem in “The Old Pueblo!”

Fantastic experience: I was immediately put at ease with these professionals. With their help I made great progress in six weeks, reducing pain and increasing ability to walk. The front staff was always courteous and friendly. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Helpful, kind, listened, addressed the issues, friendly and approachable. Great group.

Fantastic experience: I had PT here after Total knee replacement surgery. From day 1 it was a wonderful experience. Everyone was kind and caring. My main therapist was Dan and he dealt with numerous problems that came up during my rehab and fixed them all, along with Kimberly and Jason. Everyone was great, these were the people, I mainly worked with. Recovery from a total knee replacement is not easy, there are lots of highs and lows. I felt everyone was interested and dedicated to get me back on my feet, and everyone was concerned with how I was feeling. I cannot thank them enough. I will be using them anytime I need PT. I had used another facility for my first knee replacement but feel ProActive. During my recovery, my husband had a back problem and began PT with Rick, who did a great job solving his issues. Thank you again and you will always be who we choose for physical therapy!

Fantastic experience: Twice now they have taken great care of me. I'm lucky to be able to go there.

Fantastic experience: ProActive Therapy is fabulous. Dan’s approach was just what I needed for long term resolution of knee issues. My therapy program and treatments were insightful, well targeted, and beneficial. The staff coordinated treatment in a friendly and professional environment. What I also greatly appreciated was Dan’s educating me on my role in recovery. I have an exercise program to continue to make improvements and maintain healthy knees. 5 Stars!

Fantastic experience: Travis Mason, the Clinic Director, has specialized training in dry needle acupuncture that gave me great relief from the excruciating jaw pain I was experiencing. Until I found ProActive, my own research turned up only the TMJ options of invasive surgery or a laser procedure -- both of which were slow in recovery and very costly. I’ve had two separate very painful events at different times, one on each side of my face. Each required relatively few treatments which were covered by my insurance along with a very modest co-pay each visit. I’m profoundly grateful for how quickly this procedure has worked. I highly recommend ProActive for the staff’s professionalism and the skill level of therapist Travis. - Michele B

Fantastic experience: Travis and the team at ProActive are first rate and tops in their field. They treat each patient as a friend and actually care about you as an individual with a unique diagnosis and journey to their facility. Ask about days that are less crowded than others as certain days they have an extra therapist and it can be busy. If and when I need additional PT for my back, knees or other issues, I will always choose ProActive. They're the best.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about my ProActive experience. I worked mostly with Kimberly and Dan and a few others as well...Being there for 3 months I had excellent care...Thank's to all of you and I will recommend you to anyone who needs P.T.

Fantastic experience: I had my first session yesterday and leading up to the appointment I had a bit of anxiousness and even considered cancelling the appointment. When I arrived Jessica was the first point of contact. She was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Nick my PT gave great information and helped to calm my nerves.I have a long road ahead of me and this was just the first step. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to seeing the results of my hard work.

Fantastic experience: Let me start out by saying this place is fantastic and I whole-heartedly recommend ProActive to anyone who is in need of physical therapy. I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Physical Therapist Daniel Klett and could not be happier with my time here. After a couple sessions I was physically able to see an incredible outcome from the exercises and his hands on therapy. Dan is innovative with his plan and techniques. He really goes the extra mile to figure out how to help his patients progress. There is so much unique equipment and I love trying them out to see what helps the best. Daniel is extremely friendly, professional, and compassionate. The staff is wonderful. I have worked with PT tech Kylie who is super friendly, attentive, and a joy to work with. The facility is airy and beautiful. Wendy is the front office staff and is super organized, she really goes above and beyond. Everyday I leave here I feel much better than when I walked in. That is always the goal, but not always met at other facilities.I will always recommend this location as long as Daniel is the director and the staff remains, this is a real gem in Tucson.

Fantastic experience: I went to Proactive Physical Therapy for about six weeks to help with bursitis. They did an excelled job. Everyone was very friendly and efficient. Additionally, they did not push me to do more than I was able to do. Daniel was the lead PT and he was wonderful.

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Tucson from Indiana for college, and I somehow managed to develop hamstring tendinitis a couple months into living down here. Being new to town, I had no direction for doctors or physical therapists, so google reviews were all I had to go off of. I found this location of ProActive PT and decided to give it a shot, and I was pleasantly surprised. They were very willing to work with my college and work schedule, and I was pleased with the physical therapists at this location. I have never had an injury needing physical therapy before, so being educated through the exercises and healing process was very appreciated. Dan suggested dry needling as an aid to faster recovery for my tendon, and I am pleased with the results! I am now back to easing into running again, thankfully. I will definitely be recommending this location to family and friends! The staff is always friendly, efficient, and easy to work with.

Fantastic experience: Leslie and Angelita are amazing. They got me running again after a torn meniscus. Cannot say enough good things about Leslie and her team!

Fantastic experience: I am grateful to the team of Gina Herrera, Daniel Chrisenberry, and Wendy Green for scheduling me and giving me exercises that help me increase my range of motion, range of activities, and decrease my pain. I can resume my former activities without fear of pain.

Fantastic experience: Rick was awesome!!! Remember folks, do the exercises they tell you to do even at home or you won’t see results! Thank you Rick and everyone in the office for the kindness and help on my troubled back.

Fantastic experience: Several years ago my husband and I flew to Hawaii with a plane load of athletes on their way to the Ironman Triathlon. The only category in which I could compete was carb loading. But I digress. So it was no surprise that in the middle of this pandemic and following a Netflix marathon, I was struck down in my prime with a nasty case of Sciatica. I was miserable for two months and then my family physician sent me to ProActive Physical Therapy. Gina Herrera was my Physical Therapist. What a sweetheart she is, but a demanding sweetheart. I whined a lot in the beginning. She politely listened, smiled and on we went. She pushed me and so did Daniel, the PT Assistant. They were relentless, teaching, coaxing. They provided humor and positive reinforcement. Lo and behold, I started feeling better, a decrease in pain, an increase in strength and endurance. I’d walk out of their location tired, but also feeling mentally positive and with more energy than I’d had in quite a while. To support what I was being taught there, I returned to workouts at a fitness center. The pain is gone now and I learned some valuable lessons. All the staff at ProActive were kind and supportive. A special thank you though to Gina and Daniel! I am so very grateful.

Fantastic experience: The staff ensures you leave each appointment feeling physically and mentally better. Being in constant pain is frustrating and it's clear the team at Central is aware and cares. I worked with Rick for my chronic neck pain and experienced the most thorough exam I've ever had. I've been to other PT clinics and didn't receive the same treatment and attention ProActive provides.

Fantastic experience: I am very happy with the result of my physical therapy. Travis Mason and his team, Alexis and Morgen were great . Doing the routine they showed me has eliminated my pain. I was referred to them by my doctor after having an epidural in my spine to relieve the pain of a herniated disk. I had started with another physical therapy group, but was not happy so I switched to ProActive. The first therapist had explained that I would not be able to do yoga anymore. I was so happy when Travis told me I would be able to do it and how to judge any activity that might be harmful. I am now back to yoga, strength training and to my cycling routine...I am a 76 year old grandma...and I want to keep active. Thanks to the ProActive team I will be able to do that.

Fantastic experience: I've been here so far just for my evaluation and my first therapy session to ready me for my left knee replacement coming up soon. So far I am impressed by very cheerful atmosphere, good music mix on the satellite radio station they chose, as well as the friendliness, competence and professionalism of the therapists who have helped me so far. It's a very nice looking, clean, well kept up place. I noticed repairman fixing a small piece of rubber which covers the edge of the carpeting that was missing. I had just noticed it and here was someone fixing it already. I told the girl at the desk about leaky faucets in the bathroom and at the sink in the hall and she said they were waiting for a plumber to come and fix those and that the plumber had been notified previously. I'm glad I was referred here. The views of the riparian area outside are gorgeous. You can watch people walking by on the track next to the wash and the mountain and desert views are very beautiful. Well I'm back here again, at their new location, which happens to be nice and close for me still. And the people here are just as wonderful as they were last time! I had a very good experience getting my knee stronger and nice and limber after my left knee replacement, so course I came back to them for some therapy for my back. Leslie, my therapist, is wonderful. That's the best word for it! And Angelita is also. They make a great team. They are both very patient, kind, and committed to seeing me feel better. I love Leslie's"poking and prodding", as she calls it. It's really helping . My very tight muscles are loosening up. Wendi at the front desk is unfailingly friendly and nice and always cheerful and smiles at me!! I can't recommend this place enough. If you want to go to a therapy place that cares about you, this is it.

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Rick & David enough for helping my son! He's moving and running so much better, and he's not having the ankle and leg pain he used to have. And they made it fun! Not only did they help him get on the right track in the clinic, but also provided a fantastic home program so that he can keep working on the things he needs to work on!

Fantastic experience: Very satisfied with customer service. Physical Therapist Are highly professional & skilled. Over all. This place is great for any. Physical. Therapy.

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for 1 week an my back is feeling much better. I've had a spinal fusion and multiple other back problems. Sciatica all the esi down to my ankles. They have helped with the pain in just one week. I recommend them to all my patients.

Fantastic experience: Excellent organization. Everyone I come in contact with are positive and professional , there is a warm hearted atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: ProActive PT Tucson provides great PT - diagnostics, exercises, advice. They have really helped me!

Fantastic experience: The people are all awesome that I have come in contact with at Proactive. My Therapist Nicole is providing what I need to get better. I have been here before back in 2013 and Therapist I had back then was just great. I recommend Proactive without hesitation for all your physical therapy needs.

Fantastic experience: I went here for help after my knee surgery and they really helped me. I had Carter as a physical therapist and he worked wonders on my sore and aching muscles. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for physical therapy.

Fantastic experience: ProActive Physical Therapy is top-notch. My physical therapist listens, cares and is helping me heal. The support staff are all friendly, helpful and create an atmosphere of genuine caring. I am one very happy client.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience, professional and friendly excellent physical therapists. I highly recommend Proactive.

Fantastic experience: We have had Jon Davis as our therapist for many years - my grandson has ongoing issues with strength and balance - and he is a gem! Always patient and encouraging, willing to accommodate his moods and frustration, and very helpful with providing instruction and documentation for us to support and re-enforce his progress at home. The front office staff are friendly and professional. It is a real pleasure to deal with them all.

Fantastic experience: They have totally help me move and avoid surgery. Aaro and Brian are the two that I have worked with the most and they are awesome

Fantastic experience: After back surgery. I didn't think I needed PT. But after my first visit. I knew this was a splended place, and would teach me how to protect my spine. After several appointments. I finished my treatments this month. All the Staff are wonderful. No better place to go, for PT. THANKS.

Fantastic experience: At 67, I have had a few serious aches and one surgery. ProActive has dealt with them effectively and pleasantly. The staff there are talented and related. Solving these problems effectively is way better than living with them!!!!!!!
