Our story

ProActive Physical Therapy

The San Diego area’s top physical therapists, and the outcomes to prove it.

Where we come from

Proactive by name, proactive by nature

ProActive Physical Therapy grew across San Diego County on one belief: every patient, at every age, deserves focused, individualized treatment. Six clinics later, from Carlsbad to National City, that belief hasn’t moved an inch.

It shows in the results. Our quality outcomes measure above the national average, we’ve been recognized for our Commitment to Quality Outcomes, and San Diego Magazine readers voted us Best of San Diego 2023. When your therapist works for a practice like that, your comeback is in good hands.

The clinician-led difference

The only PT practice led entirely by physical therapists

Every leader at our practice, from clinic director to CEO, is a licensed physical therapist. Every clinical decision is made by someone who has treated patients.

“Highest-quality people providing the highest, the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”

Built from zero, built for patients

Part of the Doctors of Physical Therapy family

Founder Aaron Kraai started folding towels at a physical therapy clinic at age 14. He opened the first Doctors of Physical Therapy clinic in 2005 and built the company from nothing, with one goal: a PT organization where clinicians lead, patients win, and excellence is non-negotiable.

Today that network spans clinician-led clinics nationwide. ProActive Physical Therapy is proud to be part of it, same trusted local team, now backed by a national standard of care.
