 I vowed that after 4 years of trying every treatment that I was going to fix my lower back issue as my pain is ridiculously debilitating. This group has me on the right path. I no longer have any hamstring strain and my lower back is at least 60% better with 4 weeks of PT. Katherine and team are very knowledgeable. They listen and work with you to adjust as needed. Very happy with ProActive.

 Happily sent to ProActive Physical Therapy in Pearland, Texas from the Veteran's Hospital to address lower spinal problems and others. The staff (All Staff Members including the front desk) are professional, attentive and the best in care I have ever experienced. I alternate between land and aquatic therapy, both have made a difference. PT, MPT Linda Anit couldn't do a better job and I thank them all. Donna

 Experienced and helpful people works here. I had disc bulge on my back last year. I couldn’t even walk , my pain was 10 out of 1 to 10. I could hardly start my stretching at the beginning. It took me 6-7 months to be able to go back to my normal life. Katy was helping me the whole time. She did wonderful job in my case. I would definitely recommend this place for PT.

 I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and this place and people have been a true blessing. Kate and Linda just really know their stuff and will pour out their hearts to help anybody that comes through their doors! Kate actually bought me a Walking Cain because I’m a fall risk and I didn’t ask for it. Bottom line is I’m so happy I found this place and these people to help me fight my Muscle Disease that’s taken everything away from me. Linda and Kate are helping me fight back and gain confidence!

 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!

 I rarely post any reviews online but this place deserve it. This is a great place for getting your physical injuries treated. I am 22 and had a herniated disc. Dr. Andy was caring and professional with his service. He will help you recover/feel better as soon as possible with his treatments. So, I thank Dr. Andy and his assistants for helping me recover in a short period of time.

 I luckily found Proactive PT after my back surgery last year. They helped me recover quickly and was back to my normal activity within a couple of months. Last week I hurt my back and went to a chiropractor and pain doctor with no relief. I was able to get in with Amy today and by the end of my visit I was able to walk with little to no pain. If you are in pain and need PT this is the place to go!

 Great team, they really care about pain management & progressing your healing, strength & endurance. They listen & they help you listen to your body, who knew whole body healing was out there with a pt. They dont have aqua pt, but they have a lot of equipment, weights & bands and are great at adapting for you. I get stim, massage & heat at the end too, which really helps my back pain post OP

 Brought my daughter to pt here after back surgery. She likes the therapist and help she receives in her recovery. They understand pain and the need to manage it while working to strengthen the injured areas. Compassion and encouragement are important components in healing while enduring great pain and working through it.
