When I first came here, my hips and legs hurt when walking. Also, I had a lot of pain when sleeping. Now, my hips no longer grind and I am able to sleep better. My body doesn’t feel so tense. I feel more relaxed.

I was experiencing severe, debilitating headaches. Sometimes, as many as 3 to 4 times a week. Dr. Dowdle referred me to Dr. Young who proceeded to teach me how to retrain different muscles in my body to work properly, allowing me to breathe correctly which has eliminated the headaches. It has also helped greatly with hip and knee pain that I had suffered with for several years. This has been well worth the time and effort involved.

For probably the last 4-5 years, I have lived on Soma and pain pills on a daily basis. Everything from riding horses to sitting in a car was more pain than I could take. After physical therapy with Dr. Raulan, I am once again active without the need for medication. The physical therapy was something easy to accomplish and Dr. Raulan has given me back my life. Thank you.

I hurt my lower back. It seemed to get steadily worse. I contacted my doctor, who, in turn, referred me to Jeff Gibbons at ProActive. He worked with me and gave me some simple but effective exercises and with some homework and dedication it has worked out. I can now bend over without wincing from pain. I can lay on the floor with my kids. I can run, ride my bike without worrying about my lower back hurting. It’s great to get out of bed in the morning and not have pain.

ProActive has been very considerate in working around my schedule. They have been professional in all segments of my recovery. Jeff has been absolutely awesome in knowledge and helping me recover. It’s great to just feel good.

I was in a car accident going 65mph when a car pulled out in front of me. I damaged a disc in my neck and suffered severe neck pain and daily headaches, along with other symptoms, such as tightening of my ribs, my hands and feet would go numb, etc. I cam to ProActive Physical Therapy to see Raulan Young. He helped me reposition and taught me exercises to keep me repositioned. I am now going back to work and can play with my kids again. Thanks, Raulan!

I began PT after seeing my doctor for ear numbness. After discussion and exam, it was determined that most of my many problems (which I thought were unrelated) were the result of my pelvis being out of alignment.

I had moderate to severe SI joint and hip pain almost daily. I would wake at night in pain trying to lie on my side. I was taking 600mg Ibuprofen 2-3 times/day.

I am now down to Ibuprofen 1-2/month. The pains have decreased tremendously with much-improved mobility and range of motion.

When I started with ProActive PT, I could barely walk and was in constant pain. My doctors could not explain why I wasn’t improving or even what was wrong exactly.

Physical therapy with Raulan has made a drastic difference in my life. I can run and jump again! I am so happy with the results I’ve found here. I’ll be recommending ProActive (Raulan Young) forever to anyone who’ll listen! 🙂

I am a 70-year-old retired truck driver and former Marine that, for years, did everything wrong to my body. Mostly, to my back, driving some four million miles over the road in thirty plus years.

As many do and most do nothing about it, I suffered from lower back pain. As most do I know, I complained, listened to those who went to back crackers and had to keep going back for years. I used icy hot, back belts, and even the horse liniment so popular a few years ago that made you smell like garlic and burned the skin if you used enough to make it work.

My wife, as a physical therapy assistant, gave me some exercises that helped back when I was driving as temporary help. I always thought when I got off the road my back pain would stay out there. Was I ever wrong. I lived with it for ten years until now. Now it’s up to me how long and if I have to have lower back pain at all.

I went to ProActive Physical Therapy and was advised, schooled, shown and explained how by exercise of the proper parts of even a used up body like mine. I don’t have to suffer from lower back pain any longer. Thanks to Raulan, my back is as good as it gets.

It’s ok to publish this. I’d like to shout it to the world.

When I first started coming to Raulan Young, my right knee was in a lot of pain. My whole right leg felt twisted inward. I had a lot of pain in my feet, especially the right foot. I was wearing special tennis shoes with a built-up arch and also an orthotic in my shoes. I had back surgery 2 months prior to my physical therapy. I was very discouraged about my leg and foot. I thought my surgery would have helped my problem. Raulan’s exercises cured my problem!!! Three months later, I can walk without pain and ride my bike, do my housework and have a life!

At the beginning of the month of February, I developed a severe, continuous headache that never seemed to go away. Pain pills wouldn’t touch it and medicinal treatments seemed to make it worse. I had had frequent headaches (about 3-4 times a week) before, but never such as debilitating. I was bedridden for six months, lost 20-25 pounds and could hardly function.

I finally found a neurologist, Dr. Hammond, who sent me to Raulan Young. Within one month of postural restoration therapy, I was able to function as before and the headache lifted considerably.

I am 20 years old and very physically active, so being able to function again is wonderful. I also feel my dancing has improved due to Raulan Young’s therapy.

I am extremely happy that Dr. Graham referred me to Raulan Young. I have finally received relief from my back pain that no one else has been able to give me. When I first came to Raulan, my back pain was an “everyday” thing. Now, when I follow his prescribed activities, I feel great with no “everyday pain”. This was well worth my time.

Before coming to ProActive, I had been suffering from severe muscle spasms for about 2 years. Having seen several doctors and several pain meds. ProActive has taught me how to exercise those muscles to the point that I have had no spasms in 2 weeks and am continuing to have less backache.

In the beginning, I was unable to sit up straight, stand straight, or walk straight. My rib cage was sitting on my hips. I was always in pain trying to hold myself upright. From the first day of therapy, I have noticed a difference and it continued to improve even more with use of the protonics device.

I still have pain in my hips above and across tailbone area, but I have been relieved of all the other pains in the neck, shoulder blades, lower hips, and knees. I am a much better person because of it. Thanks.

I feel that my therapy treatments have made a significant difference in the amount of sciatica I experience. Reduction in symptomatology and functional status. I can sit longer and drive in the car for longer periods of time. The radiating pain has essentially disappeared. The stiffness in my neck has decreased and I have a greater range of motion. The number of headaches I was experiencing has decreased and lessened in intensity. Overall, my functional ability has increased and I feel better.
