Active adults and runners share why they chose us.

Dr. Samantha Elrod with Proactive Kinetics was great for my physical therapy. I quickly saw improvement with my issues. She was able to get me back to where I was before my accident in eight visits. The bonus was not having to drive somewhere for the treatment. She came to me. If would definitely recommend using Proactive Kinetics for any physical therapy that you may need.

I am so glad I found Proactive Kinetics. Dr. Sam is compassionate and listens to all my concerns. She has provided with me with many techniques to improve pain and weakness. If you need PT you can't go wrong with Dr. Sam!

I went to Dr Sam for a sore shoulder I’d had for a few months. She was able to determine where the problem was originating and develop a plan of exercises, stretches and some other interventions to get the muscles to loosen up and move without pain. I’ve graduated from shoulder PT and would recommend her for PT or even for preventative care if you’re starting a new sport or exercise routine.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions we hear from active adults and runners throughout the Murfreesboro area, answered.

Do I need a doctor's referral to start PT in Tennessee?

Tennessee allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can schedule your first visit without needing a referral from a physician. Most of our clients come directly to us when they're dealing with persistent pain or an injury that keeps getting in the way.

How is cash-based PT different from what I've done before?

At most insurance-based clinics, your PT time is limited by what your plan approves. At Proactive Kinetics, every session is 1:1 with your physical therapist. No aides, no shared appointments, and no insurance company deciding how long you get. We build a plan around your actual goals, not a generic protocol.

What does a first session at Proactive Kinetics look like?

Your first visit is a full root-cause evaluation. We take time to understand your history, assess your movement patterns, and identify what's actually driving your pain or limitation. You leave that first session with a clear picture of what's going on and a concrete plan for what comes next.

Can I keep training while I'm working through PT?

Often, yes. We don't rely on blanket rest prescriptions. Our goal is to build a plan that lets you keep moving as much as possible while we address the root cause. We'll talk through load management and make specific recommendations based on your situation and training goals.

Do you work with active adults who aren't competitive runners?

Absolutely. While running PT is one of our specialties, we work with active adults across the board, including recreational lifters, hikers, people dealing with back pain from a demanding desk job, and anyone whose active life depends on being able to move without limitation.
