Welcome to ProActive Physical Therapy's patient resource about knee problems.
The knee is a sensitive area of the body and one that can be injured doing almost any activity. The knee is normally exposed and vulnerable and a simple twist can lead to a serious injury as well as ongoing problems and a long recovery time. Therefore, whether your sport is rugby or racquetball, bowling or badminton, you cannot take chances with this body part.
This section of our site has everything you need to know about preventing or correcting a knee injury. It is our goal to provide you with resources, exercises and other knee related information that will allow you to learn about how easily this sensitive area can be injured.
When you take the necessary steps in preventing an injury, you will enjoy your chosen sport more and avoid Physical Therapy and other painful and time consuming tasks that come with nursing a knee injury.
ProActive Physical Therapy provides services for Physical Therapy in Pearland, Houston.

“ Had ACL reconstruction surgery on my left knee. I originally started my journey somewhere else, and they unfortunately steered me in the wrong direction for my recovery. When I first walked into ProActive, I was a little hesitant, I was hurting, couldn’t walk the best being about 5-6 months post operation I was hurting a lot still, and I wasn’t gaining any muscle surrounding the knee area. The moment I walked in, they made me feel so welcomed. They also heard what I had to say, and gave me such high hopes that I was going to get better. They asked all the right questions and really made me feel like they were going to help me recover from this surgery that caused me so much knee pain. Anyone knows that with knee pain, hip and back follows because the movements are not right. Proactive had me start from scratch and helped me with each muscle group to allow it to grow with time and commitment. I went from 120 range of motion to my full range of 135. This was so important to me and the means of my recovering knee. Thank you guys so much. I was with this team for about 4-5 months. They were so patient with me, my insurance and everything in between. I left back in August, and can say with confidence that I am feeling so much better, and I have them to be thankful for. I can walk, run and play with my 3 year old again and it’s been such an amazing experience. Thanks again! Much love! -Vanessa ”

“ I have been through two different surgeries on one knee and had to basically learn how to walk again! This group has been AMAZING!! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of physical therapist!! They worked me hard when I asked them to and they listened to me and worked on the areas I told them I was feeling weak at. I am walking now and still progressing every day! Thank you to you all!

“ Proactive has treated me 3 times (back, knee and now shoulder). Their directors are great! Each one has been very knowledgable about my injuries, skilled in my treatment and helpful setting up my post treatment care. I love Lisa Seller-Simon at the Pasadena clinic. She's treating my shoulder now and just like with the other 2 injuries every time I walk out of the clinic my pain levels are decreased and I physically felt better, stronger and more positive. This PT company also does a really really good job getting me in quickly when I start treatment or need to adjust schedule during treatment. In fact, I had treatment scheduled one day but work took me to another part of town. I called to cancel and instead they worked me in at another clinic close to where I was working. Seemly, excellent service! ”

“ The ProActive Team & Its Staff are wonderful & welcoming. I never felt like a newcomer when I walked inside the facility. Also, the Proactive Team of Therapists, helped me tremendously to recover from many years of placing an extraordinary amount of wear-and-tear on my knees which caused me pain and discomfort throughout the day. During every single physical therapy session, I was challenged and improving. After many weeks of physical therapy, I’m able to conduct majority of the physical activities I love to do by using the information and exercises they provided. To add, I no longer need or require injections in both of my knees every 3-6 months to relieve the pain and discomfort. Each Physical Therapist who worked on me aided in my recovery and for that I’m forever grateful & active. I thank you all very much ProActive Team!!!! ”

“ I came here about four years ago when I dislocated my knee. The staff was very attentive to my needs. All the exercises they taught me really helped strengthen my leg. So when my daughter broke her leg, I knew a good place to take her! She has actually enjoyed it! I’m very thankful for this place! ”

“ I had a total knee replacement and had been to other PT's. I didn't seem to be progressing. It seemed the therapy was generic "cookie cutter" at the other therapists. The same exercises for everyone with knee replacements. Knee surgeries are all different and patients need customized therapy. Then I went to Lisa at Proactive. She took the time to find out details of my surgery, and find out what I was having trouble with. After a single visit, my range of motion was dramatically improved and my pain was significantly reduced. I wish I had come here long ago. I would tell anyone not to waste their time going to "cookie cutter" therapists, and to visit Lisa at Proactive. ”
