"I used to have trouble getting out of bed, tying my shoes, and simple things like loading the dishwasher. Now, I do all of these things easily, and I'm never stopping! "

Many years ago now, I was having a really bad back flare up. My spouse knew Pamela and suggested I go see her. That was the beginning of a years long wellness journey for me! At the time, about once or twice a year, my back would flare up so badly that I couldn't do anything for days. Now, I'm happy to say that it's been many years since my back has done that, and my life is so different. I do regular massage every three weeks, and combined with chiropractic visits and several yoga classes per week, my physical mobility is so much better. Who says you can't get better with age (and some help). I've worked with many massage therapists over the years at Proactive, and have had great experiences all around. My massages are a highlight of my month! Thanks Proactive!

"I have found the targeted red light therapy to be one of the most effective therapies I've used for neck pain and it has changed my life after years of pain I was unable to get rid of."

As someone that's suffered with chronic illness and pain and has sought holistic and natural remedies, Proactive has been a crucial player in my healing journey. I've been a monthly massage member for years, and rely on the effective and targeted massages the knowledgeable and skilled Proactive team provides for last pain relief. Recently, with the addition of the red light and sauna services, I am able to add whole body detoxification and rehabilitation to my treatments as well. I have found the targeted red light therapy to be one of the most effective therapies I've used for neck pain and it has changed my life after years of pain I was unable to get rid of. I am so thankful to the team at Proactive for assisting me with my continual journey for wellness, I recommend them to everyone I know and see.

I have been a member of Proactive Massage + Bodywork for seven years! Having been to several massage therapists over the years, there is absolutely no comparison to PMB. The therapists and support staff are professional and have consistently provided a comforting and relaxing atmosphere throughout the years.  Thank you for the great services you have provided to me and my family.

"The idea of a family owned and operated business has always been comforting to us and proactive is no exception. We both immediately felt like we were being welcomed into a happy home rather than a place of business."

We had both had rather inconsistent experiences with massage and spa providers before we discovered Proactive. Jenn was the first to go and came home singing nothing but praises about her first session. She must have mentioned Proactive every day until I finally booked a session and could quickly see what she was so happy about. Every session since has been a great experience! Developing new relationships with massage therapists can be uncomfortable but the kindness and professionalism of the proactive therapists have always put us right at ease. The idea of a family owned and operated business has always been comforting to us and proactive is no exception. We both immediately felt like we were being welcomed into a happy home rather than a place of business. Proactive is a totally different experience from other providers we have used over the years. Every session builds on an ever-growing sense of value and belonging that can only come from such a comfortable and therapeutic environment. We have recommended Proactive many times and are always looking forward to our next appointment!

"I have been going to PMB for about three years and they are one of the best kept secrets in Mechanicsville."

I’ve been going to PMB for about 3 years and they are one of the best kept secrets in Mechanicsville. I started getting massages monthly about 7 years ago to help deal with chronic pain from prior medical surgeries. I spend all day on the computer in a demanding, nonstop job and a massage helps relieve my stress and tension. When I get a massage, depending on the day I’ve had, I either have pillow face from falling asleep during my massage because it’s so relaxing or my body is re-energized, including a sharper mind. As for the staff of therapists, they are all professional, they listen to my needs, and each have their own unique technique. I can’t recommend them enough!

"Luckily, the amazing team at Proactive Massage has the best hours and I can always find a time to come in and get fixed!"

Between riding horses, manual labor on the farm, and my career which requires a lot of time on the computer, I carry so much stress and tension in my upper back and my neck. Luckily, the amazing team at Proactive Massage has the best hours and I can always find a time to come in and get fixed! The team also works wonders when I can't get rid of a pesky migraine! I'm so thankful many years ago I was introduced to Pam and as her practice has grown, I have the upmost trust in her team and happily see any available person! Thank you all for your continued help in making my pain go away!
