ProActive’s first location boasts a spacious 4200 square-foot clinic complete with state-of-the-art amenities. This bright, energetic location features private treatment rooms, an exercise floor, a hand therapy room, and an immaculate indoor aquatic therapy pool. Located conveniently west of the 5 freeway off Palomar Airport Road, within a stone’s-throw from the beach, there is no shortage of on-shore breeze here. The ProActive team has vast experience treating a wide range of conditions from professional athletes to weekend warriors and everything in between.
From the I-5, exit Palomar Road and turn West onto Palomar Airport Road. Turn left onto Avenida Encinas. Turn left at 6070.
Our Carlsbad clinic offers comprehensive physical therapy, occupational (hand) therapy, and aquatic therapy. The therapists at this clinic have vast experience treating a wide variety of injuries, and will get you back on your feet in no time!
Occupational therapists specialize in the treatment of hands and elbows. Physical therapists specialize in all other injuries that occur around the body. While physical and occupational therapy take place inside the clinic, aquatic therapy takes place in a pool, which has buoyancy benefits for those with injuries which may not be ready for land-based therapy.
