Gresham, Oregon Physical Therapy Reviews

When I first went in there for physical therapy, I was in so much pain that knee replacement surgery had been scheduled. When I went in there, I could not stoop, squat or get myself down and back up off the floor. Now I can easily do all those things without a lot of pain. After a couple months of going there, I do not have a lot of pain and I am going to put my knee surgery off for now.

Everyone in there is skilled, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The atmosphere is friendly and uplifting.

Honestly the best experience I've had for my first time having PT. The staff is so kind and full of energy. Very informative and helped me heal quickly!

Proactive was great at listening to my needs and giving great support before and after my knee surgery.

I have had two opportunities to use this group of physical therapy staff and both times have been excellent. They helped me rehab this last time from a total R hip replacement. I am back to walking without a limp, doing stairs and my usual activities. Thanks to the office staff, Michelle, Barrett, Jenny, Shen and Ryann for their professionalism, encouragement and smiles!

I had such a wonderful experience at this location of proactive physical therapy! I had so much pain in my right hip for months and finally decided to face it and everyone that helped me here were wonderful people who really know what they're talking about! I was able to graduate with no pain and a great deal more strength within only a month! I am so excited! Truly life-changing! Highly recommend

Highly recommend I have had a few different places now where I’ve got PT done and never have. I felt so welcomed and had such an upbeat environment. Got the care I needed and went back feeling stronger than I was before my injury. I am very thankful and if I had to have physical therapy again, I would be choosing this establishment to go to hands-down thank you for your time and your effort and helping me get better and giving me the tools to continue to use to continue to get stronger outside of proactive.

The entire process was very easy. From my doctor’s referral to booking my first appointment within one week.

Michelle was my main therapist and she was AMAZING! She took my Achilles injury seriously and used some methods I wasn’t familiar with but they worked.

The entire staff of therapists and assistants are professional but also friendly and make the task of therapy fun; albeit painful sometimes.

We bonded over my many sessions and I would highly recommend Glen and his entire team!

Thanks to you all!!!

I chose ProActive PTS for my post knee replacement therapy. This truly was an amazing experience from Day 1. Kevin and Jenny were my Team Leads; all of them were fabulous to work with. That is the essence: work with; hence, “ProActive”. My determination and follow through enabled them to access what I needed work on next to accomplish my goals. There was no set plan for treatment, just guidelines and we agreed on how to proceed. This was far more effective. It was a total treatment plan to restore not only mobility of the knee but as my body adjusted to a new walking pattern and center of balance, these issues were addressed as well. No, I still wasn’t able to do somersaults ( nor could I before!) but I wasn’t encouraged to discharge until I felt ready.
Incidentally, they performed regular evaluations and sent progress notes to my doctor for approval.
I highly recommend the Gresham location and have no doubt their other locations have the same high standards.

I was helped by Glenn and Barrett. Great guys. As we all know, physical therapy comes with its required pain but their bedside manner was very nice. After my level 2 tear in my calf I am now back to full functionality in my everyday life and working towards getting back to bouldering (rock climbing) at the level I was at before. I was full of questions when I came in there and I have to say that one of the most useful things that they do is take the time to answer all of your questions and help you to understand your injury better. I'm sure for some people they don't want to know all that but it was nice to know why they were having me do all the little funny exercises and what they benefited. Thanks guys, for taking the time to help me physically and help me understand this portion of my body so I can prevent future injury! 😁

Amazing results for doing what the wonderful people at Pro Active figured out. I had very painful knees and now they don’t hurt it all!!!
Very grateful too, Michelle who figured out the plan, and Jenny and Rachael who made good suggestions also. All three of them are wonderful to work with. The only reason they didn’t get five stars is it very noisy in there because there’s so many clients and people working.

This is a great group of trained, caring professionals who devote their skills to helping others. Ten stars!

I worked with Glenn and the team for about 2 months working on knee pain from a sprain I got at work. They all were so lovely to work with. Great attitudes, funny and all around good people. Would definetly recommend going here. This is Nick btw

First of all, I would like to thank the entire PT team for helping me recover from my car accident I had at the end of last year 🙏🏻. With their help and caring ways I was able to recover from my numbness and tingling I had on my neck and shoulder. I also had pain in my lower back and right knee. I followed the “homework” everyday to the letter to get better as fast as I could because living with pain was not it.

The exercises that were given to me were challenging but if you can push through them it surely will out weight the soreness that you will feel after wards 😅 Plus, I love to be challenged or how else would I make progress towards getting better?
I would highly recommend ProActive Physical Therapy to anyone looking for a PT.

I now have an idea of exercises I can do in case I ever have pain or tightness in those areas. Thank you to everyone that helped my recovery 🙏🏻

Thank you Glen and sweet Jen for a wonderful therapy experience for my knee replacement. Great knowledge and skill for a positive outcome. Also,thanks to the rest of the clinic team . It was really nice having such a happy and positive team working together that facilitated positive energy to the patients.

GLEN AND THE STAFF ARE AWESOME!!!!

After weeks of discomfort, muscle relaxers, Tylenol, ibuprofen, poor sleep, and missed work my doctor referred me to PT. I hit the jackpot with Glen Akers and his team! Arthritis in my neck + poor posture + a pinched nerve had me miserable. I felt increasingly better with each visit, I would arrive in such discomfort, and then leave an hour later with noticeably less pain. Highly recommend!

This was my first experience going through physical therapy due to an injury and I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help me through it.

The time, care, and attention to detail that all of the staff at the Gresham clinic displayed was nothing short of incredible. Recovering from my injury was difficult, but everyone kept cheering me on and worked together to make sure that I received the best care possible.

It was bittersweet when I graduated from PT because I built such strong connections with my Physical Therapist and the rest of the staff. I'm happy that I don't have any more appointments, but I know I'm going to miss working with the folks at Gresham every week.

Thank you Kevin, Jenny, Michelle, Glen, Barrett, Mackenzie, Dani, Danielle, and Micah!

Glen and the rest of his staff are Great . They treat you awesome and with respect. I highly recommend Glen Ackers and his staff

Great crew. I have done 34 visits with Michelle or Kevin but I would recommend all of them. I look forward to my appointments and I enjoy working out/exercising in their facility. I am finishing up my last session and I am much stronger now than I was when I started. I have a whole repertoire of exercises that I can incorporate into my routine to keep my knee in shape.

The staff at are phenomenal, listening to clients needs, it's a pleasant, happy environment that makes you want to keep your appointments. The office manager that keeps things rolling smoothly and makes appointments is awesome.
Barrett worked with me and I cannot say enough about his amazing skill of learning a clients needs and ability in getting to their progress in their treatment.

Michelle was a joy to work with and also really got me results regaining full movement in my hip!!

Michelle and her team are rock stars! I suffered two different knee injuries from my 80 lb poodle bowling me over while running with other dogs at the dog park. As an avid hiker, and at nearly 70 yrs old, it looked like my hiking career was over. I went to my doc and told him it looked like it was time to hang up my hiking boots because I just couldn't deal with the pain anymore. Instead, he sent me to Michelle at ProActive Physical Therapy.

Now, 2 months later, I'm back on the trail and in training for a 30-mile Wildwood thru hike coming up next year. The knee pain is nearly gone and I'm regaining my strength. Michelle quickly determined that the source of my knee pain was actually weakness in my hips, something the doc never figured out.

Their professionalism and enthusiasm in regard to my recovery never wavered and their senses of humor made the medicine go down just a little bit easier. I highly recommend these people!

See you in the mountains!

Michelle was always cheery, positive and helpful. She was a good listener when I had challenges….and gave good feedback when 1’d make progress. Overall a great experience with her and the other staff!

My husband had his first appt. With Glen today. First the front desk receptionist is awesome so helpful kind and really knows what she’s doing. She needs a raise. Second Glen was awesome so through and really on top of things.
Excited that my husband with have great improvements in mobility.
My husband said he liked the information that Glen gave him and that he was easy to follow and understand. Nice to see people who take pride in their work.

I had some knee stiffness and dealt with pain when I walked.
The staff has taking the pain down from a seven out of 10 to a two. Dr. Glen and his assistants are very caring and educated. They offer a ton of quality training and very efficient recovery exercises.

I'll be going back soon for more therapy to crunch the pain down to as little as possible.

I'd definitely recommend them for their understanding and kindness.

Great experience, memorable staff and interactions. I totally appreciate the fact that I'm doing better. Flo

Brandon is great. He is tailoring my therapy to my needs at my speed (slow) while still challenging me. So thankful.that Kaiser hooked me up!
