From the reviews
This place is beyond amazing. I’ve been with Erin, Tony, & Jose since June 2024 after my shoulder surgery. They’re not only very skilled and professional but they make physical therapy fun (kind of-haha). I wouldn’t have seen the amazing progress I have if it wasn’t for them. I will be forever grateful. Thank you all!
I’ve been working with Jose since May 2025 to address chronic pain from herniated discs, and I can confidently say that partnering with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health. Before coming to Proactive PT, I spent over 18 months at another physical therapy office with very little progress.
I started coming here after my car accident on August 17, and even though I only had four sessions total, I’m so grateful I found this place. I always came in the mornings, and from the moment I walked in, the energy was positive.
From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported by the entire team. They’re not only knowledgeable and patient but also take the time to truly understand your needs. It’s clear they genuinely care about your progress and well-being.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
