History
Established in 2002.
ProActive SportsMed was started by Vince Gildner and Jerry Flynn with just one employee in Lacey. Today, Proactive has three physical therapy locations (Lacey, Tumwater, West Olympia) and a performance sports training location in Tumwater with 17 employees combined.
Our newest Tumwater location brought us back to our original business model in having physical therapy and performance sports training under the same roof.
