Success Stories

I am a retired physician in my 70s with significant arthritis. I have had two knee replacements and a spinal fusion. I have had PT at numerous facilities. The physical therapy care at Proactive is the best I have ever had.

Every time I come to town, I make an appointment to see Allison. I wish I lived closer as I/ve not been able to find a therapist like her anywhere else!

Jared W.
The office is friendly and welcoming - and also newly remodeled. They offer excellent evidence-based care with the best technology in the Springs. Great care here!

The Recovery Process

Learn about the 5 phases of recovery

1 Pain Relief

Reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation are common goals in this phase of recovery. Injury protection, elevation, appropriate medications, compression, and patient education are important.
2 Introduce Movement

Pain-free passive, manual therapy, active range of motion, and cardiorespiratory exercises, are indicated here. Education about pain and a positive attitude may help.
3 Strengthening

Progressive loading of healing soft tissues, the reintroduction of low-stress neuromuscular reeducation, balance training, and basic functional activities are part of this rehabilitation phase.
4 Functional Retraining

Progressing strengthening exercises, improving flexibility, and advanced balance exercises are part of phase 4. Resuming functional movement (e.g. sports movements) occurs in this phase.
5 Recovery & Prevention

Functional movements are progressed, a controlled re-introduction to sports or challenging environments is initiated. Continued strengthening, flexibility, balance, endurance, and goal-specific training occurs during this phase. Education and future injury prevention are discussed.
