When people experience pain, one of the first questions they often ask is: “Should I get an MRI?”

Modern imaging technology can show us incredibly detailed pictures of what’s happening inside the body. MRIs, CT scans, and X-rays can reveal things like disc herniations, tendon tears, and degenerative changes with remarkable clarity.

But here’s something many patients don’t realize:

Not everything that shows up on an image is actually the source of pain.

The secret to beating burnout isn't just taking time off—it’s who you spend your time with. At Pro-Active Health, we’ve built a team that:

✅ Laughs through the busy shifts.

Do you ever have that sharp “pinching” pain when raising your arm up?

Many individuals deal with what is known as shoulder impingement.

Shoulder impingement is often characterized by a painful arc of movement in which one of the rotator muscles becomes impinged or “pinched” within the subacromial space.

We tend to think of attitude as a personality trait—something you either have or you don’t. But more and more evidence is showing that mindset is far more than a matter of temperament. The way we think, speak, and interpret the world around us has real, measurable effects on our physical health, mental sharpness, and overall longevity. In other words, positivity isn’t just pleasant—it’s powerful.

That doesn’t mean life is always easy or that challenges magically disappear with a smile. But it does mean that how we respond to those challenges matters. A habit of negative thinking can quietly shape our stress levels, our relationships, and even the way our brains age. On the flip side, cultivating an optimistic outlook can strengthen resilience, improve quality of life, and help us stay healthier longer.

Which brings us to a familiar group we’ve all encountered.

Our Story

Well, I guess this story starts with a vision of what healthcare should be. As I’ve written about in our Manifesto, healthcare should be about people, not numbers, not technical jargon, not even cool, cutting-edge technology & tools (though we like to use those things when applicable).

When I started my career as an occupational therapist in 2012, I had no idea where that career would take me. I got into this profession because, when I was 16 years old, I fell and landed on a glass bottle, cutting tendons and nerves in my hand. I spent the summer before my senior year in high school in an outpatient OT clinic recovering from surgery. That experience opened my eyes to healthcare as a profession, as a calling, as a vocation. I set my sights on a career that would give me the opportunity to help people overcome whatever pain, limitation, or diagnosis they found themselves experiencing.

My career has been anything but a linear path. I started off after graduation managing the OT caseload at a couple different nursing homes. From there I went to Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center, where things really got interesting. I worked in the outpatient specialty rehab program. Basically, everyone who has a shoulder, elbow, or hand surgery came to our clinic. Anyone who experienced chronic pain and didn’t experience relief from surgery, injections, or other invasive management strategies came to us. We saw the most complex, challenging, and serious cases that came through that hospital system
And I loved it! Working with these patients opened up my eyes to the reality of healthcare, to the huge limitations that plague our traditional way of looking at disease, pain, and recover, and pushed me to learn about a biopsychosocial approach to treatment.

Fast forward a few years, and I left the VA to begin consulting for the state of Georgia’s Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities. My team and I helped transition people of out state institutions and facilities to living a safe, healthy and engaged life in the community. This work allowed me to grow in my understanding and appreciation for what we called “Integrated Clinical Support” —basically, clinicians working together as a team to help one person. I had worked on some smaller projects like this at the VA, but doing it for the state showed me the possibilities of providing services to patients as part of a team, not just a solo clinician or specialist.
