History
Established in 2002.
In 2001, owner, Vince Gildner was working at a physical therapy practice in Everett when he decided he wanted to move back home and open his own practice. He asked Jerry Flynn if he wanted to join him in the endeavor and run the athletic performance training. In 2002, they opened their first physical therapy/performance training location in Lacey. The business was growing rapidly. When one of their top referring physicians requested they open a clinic in West Olympia to more easily facilitate his patients, ProActive opened their second location in 2004. When the athletic training got too big for the Lacey location, and the baseball facility that they moved to went under, ProActive opened a third location in Tumwater (where Vince grew up) in 2012. ProActive has been blissfully growing over the years to a thriving company with three convenient locations, to serve the Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater area.
