Part of what sets us apart is our commitment to client education. You don't need an advanced degree in human anatomy to better understand your body. Most of our clients haven't completed 7+ years of formal education and spent another decade applying that knowledge to real people to improve their movement.

Luckily, Dr. Sam has. She translates complex issues into a more accessible language that our clients can understand. This promotes healthier movement habits over time and increases their ability to manage minor issues in the future, preventing larger, more painful problems from developing.

For instance, a recent client came in with low back pain. They had tried to solve it themselves using AI and general internet advice. Yet the issue they were trying to solve targeted the areas of pain, rather than the weak muscles that were causing their lower back to compensate.

Dr. Sam worked with this client to restore strength to weak hip muscles, reducing overall low back symptoms within a few sessions. But then she went further, educating them on how to prevent this issue from coming back so easily and what to do when it does. By the time they completed their plan of care, they were back to deadlifting, running, and other activities that had previously bothered them for months. They also knew how to manage it when a flare-up happened.

Physical therapy is about getting relief. That's the bare minimum. It's also about understanding what caused it and how to not do that again to manage issues in the future. Get you a physical therapist who can do both — like Dr. Sam 😊.

We love what we're building here and the people we're helping every day.

2.5 years ago, Dr. Sam was pregnant with our second child while treating 15-17 patients a day. Lunches didn't exist because the schedule was overloaded or behind schedule. Whatever time was available was spent eating while completing paperwork to document patient care for insurance companies, so she could get to daycare in time to pick up our first child from daycare — or some days before he went to bed.

The grind of 45+ hour workweeks was exhausting. The weekends were hard crashes, followed by the Sunday-night stress of knowing what awaited her on Monday morning. It was easy to feel trapped on the treadmill of the corporate, insurance-based physical therapy clinic.

The industry that promoted healthy movement and lifelong habits was strangling Sam's ability to build a movement-rich life that she preached to her patients. Workouts were few and far between as the number of patients and the demands of family grew each day, limiting the time she had between work and bed.

So we decided to do something different. We built something that lets Sam live the same quality of life we encourage our clients to have. Regular workouts. Real days off. Community engagement. Building friendships. Even taking real lunches to recharge during the day.

Owning a business brings its own stressors. It's not like Sam swapped out a stressful career for a stress-free one. But now she has the opportunity to build something meaningful with her time and energy that she couldn't have done any other way.

This allows our clients to get her full attention to deliver real outcomes for their real problems. They know they are getting the best care because they see Dr. Sam at her best — fully rested, fully prepared, and fully engaged every time they walk through our door.

Sorry y'all!

We're closed until Friday morning to take care of some stuff.

Dr. Sam loves to talk to you, but Adam's convinced her to not even check email or texts until Friday morning. She'll get in touch with you as soon as she can if you leave her a message.

See y'all on Friday!

We’re absolutely loving these glowing reviews! Our clients can’t get enough, and neither can we! 🌟

Don't you hate when you look someone in the eyes and listen to them with all your might, and then promptly forget everything they just said? 🤦‍♀️

Our clients have access to their home exercise programs and example videos in their accounts 24/7. That means they can read, watch, and review as many times as needed to ensure they are doing the movements correctly. It takes 4,000-6,000 reps to retrain a body part to function fully. If you're not doing the movement right, you're wasting your time and energy with bad reps.

We're focused on getting you the best outcomes in the shortest amount of time. But this requires doing your exercises at home and doing them correctly.

So at your next session, try to listen to Dr. Sam as she demos the exercises. The next day, when you go to do them and realize you forgot everything she said — don't worry. Log in to your account to review and watch the exercises again so you can practice the correct movements and achieve your desired outcome.

When we say we're passionate about helping people move, it's more than just a hobby — it's something we feel called to do.

Dr. Sam has wanted to help people with their movement ever since childhood, when she saw how paralysis and limited movement affected her grandmother's life. In her own words, this is why she became a physical therapist:

"I love keeping people active and achieving their goals. I don’t want aches, pains, and weakness to limit someone from playing with their children or someone completing their first 5K/half marathon.

When I was 5 years old, my grandmother became paralyzed from the waist down and became wheelchair bound. I would go with her to intensive rehab sessions at least once a week while she was in the rehabilitation hospital. She had to re-learn new daily life modifications. Several years later, I spent several hours observing the physical therapists at the local hospital while in high school and college."

We LOVE talking to new clients. Every person has a story to tell, and their body's movement is directly impacted by that story.

Our free discovery calls take 15-30 minutes and allow us to determine whether we're a good fit to guide you through what your body is telling you and how we can help you address the issues.

We have a vested interest in our clients and their success because we care deeply about them as people and the impact our work has on their daily lives. When you spend multiple sessions with Dr. Sam, you'll see just how deep her compassion and empathy go. She shows it by putting her full attention and energy into each session and the plans of care she creates for each client. You may even feel better because there are great conversations that happen during manual therapy, dry needling, or cupping.

Schedule a free discovery call to tell her your story and see how we can help you.

Do you love helping people find solutions to their everyday needs?

Are you the person who "has a guy/girl" for everyday situations that you recommend, such as plumbing, electrical, catering, personal training, maybe even a stylist?

Perhaps you like being the go-to person that your friends turn to when they have an issue or are looking for a solution.

We'd love to be your first choice when you hear someone asking for help with their movement or injuries. By telling others about us and the work we're doing to improve the movement of people in Murfreesboro and the surrounding area, you're helping us grow our clinic. Local small businesses thrive on referrals, which allows us to focus more on physical therapy and less on the marketing needed to bring in new clients.

So if you need a physical therapist to refer people to, let them know about Proactive Kinetics. We get great outcomes for our clients, which puts you in a positive light with your friends when they remember who connected them to us and ultimately helped solve their movement issue or painful problem.

There is a lot of good information out there to help you build a training plan for your next running event. The problem we see is that good advice is misapplied when fit-fluencers or AI share a "perfect training plan" with everyone.

What is good advice for one person isn't always good advice for another if used inappropriately. That's why most of the stuff we post on social media, specific to exercises and training, is intended to be very general. To achieve more effective, long-term results, consider working with a coach or expert to tailor plans to your needs and unique issues.

That being said, it's common to see injury in runners who log too much volume too fast. They see a race they want to do and mark it on the calendar, but then they don't build a plan that fits them within the available time. They skip strength-building and running variations from their training plan so they can just "run more miles."

We've put together some generally good advice to help you prevent injuries, which can derail your entire training plan. Check the carousel to see what we recommend and some guidelines to follow.

Hey runners! If you're training to do one of the Rock 'n' Roll races in Nashville, which include the marathon, half, 10k, 5k, or even the fun runs, you might need some help to ensure you make it to race day healthy and prepared to run your best.

We're trying something new by offering a limited-time Runner Training Prep package to help those of you who want to prevent injuries before they happen. This is a great way to improve your running efficiency and clean up your technique to go for that new PR.

Shoot us a DM to learn more about the 20% off mini-package we're currently offering to runners.

Who's still nursing a mobility issue that started during the Open or a race from a few weeks ago?

As we age, we assume aches and pains are normal after performance events. Sometimes they are, but the longer it lasts, the more likely it is that there is an underlying issue you can fix before it disrupts your activity further or becomes a permanent compensation.

Get your movement checked so you know what is normal and what is not.

We offer free discovery calls and screens to help. Just send us a private message to learn more.

We've said it before, and we'll keep saying it. Relieving symptoms is the easy part and should be considered the bare minimum when you go to physical therapy.

If that's all you care about, then we may not be the right fit. There are a lot of clinics out there that only do the minimum.

So what if you want more than the minimum?

Then you need to understand how important progressions are in your plan of care. You should expect your exercises to get more difficult as your sessions continue. Just like building muscle at the gym, you need to put your body under the right amount of stress to grow, but not so much that it causes a major setback.

Our clients understand how important it is to make progress in their exercises and that they need an expert guide to help them do so safely and effectively. They also know they need a space where they can be challenged.

That's why we love where our clinic operates — inside Rampage Gym. It's a fully stocked and well-designed space where Sam's movement creativity has no limits. She's constantly finding or creating options that use skills and exercises specific to your preferred activity. Our clients know not to say, "That was too easy," because Sam will hit you with a progression or variation that will leave you sweating.

Progressions are just one of the ways we challenge our clients to do more than the bare minimum. You may start small and spend a lot of time at the table early on, but you'll eventually progress to spending more time in the gym to get the outcomes you want.

If you want real, lasting results after going through physical therapy, then we'd love to talk to you.
