I have been with Erin at Proactive for over a year. She is truly amazing! Erin helped me through the process of prehab prior to hip replacement surgery and then the rehab process afterward. I feel fantastic thanks Erin’s attentiveness and professional care! I’m back to my active self and happier than ever! Erin is a gem!

Erin and team are amazing! Making appointments is simple, they are always on time and the care is phenomenal! I don’t feel like I’m part of some assembly line of patients like other places I’ve been too. They take the time you need and make you feel heard, which is the most important thing when it comes to your body! Highly recommend! They’ve got a patient for life and I will be referring friends and family!

I have been a patient of Erin Johnson, DPT for years and have always been so grateful for her outstanding care and skills. She is one of the most proficient, intelligent, and caring healthcare providers I have encountered. When Erin treats you, she is not only helping heal whatever body part ails you but she is constantly working to improve your overall health and well being. Her insight and treatment modalities are not only delivered with her profound knowledge base but with a sense of true compassion and gentleness that can only come from such a gifted and experienced clinician. There has never been an injury or accident that she has not been able to help resolve for me (and I have had plenty)! Her team and facility at Proactive Physical Therapy is equally wonderful and always helpful and welcoming …. I would recommend them to anybody in need of therapy!

I received physical therapy (PT) at the hands of Erin Johnson, who has become the owner of ProActive. I am a lifelong walker who experienced significant hip and back pain as I resumed walking after recovery from a cardiac arrest. ProActive practices a fully individualized approach to PT, in which a client's session is entirely in the hands of a certified Physical Therapist - different from the supervised exercise approach, in which significant PT appointment time is overseen by an exercise trainer. PT at ProActive is intense, in that no time is wasted. The work continually balances among diagnosis/assessment, therapeutic treatment activities, and creating, then monitoring a home-based exercise routine to extend treatment activities. In my experience at ProActive, there is no such thing as down time. Erin is deeply knowledgable in PT and related approaches. Her attention was fully on my condition, what she observed about the impacts of her methods on my level of functioning, and what might be next in my treatment experience. Erin demonstrates a high level of mindfulness that supports her attention on the present as well as looking ahead to the future. She also demonstrates a consistently engaging, conversational "bedside manner." I look forward to my next session; it's always interesting and engaging to learn what's around the bend on our PT journey together. Work with Erin has conquered my hip issues, and is showing progress with my back concerns. I recommend PT at ProActive enthusiastically and without reservation.

Erica and her team at Pro Active PT are nothing short of angels. I had a serious injury with complications and I honestly don’t know where I would be without Erica, Erin and Chris. They do PT the “old” way - hands on, with care and with a thoroughness that I have never seen at other facilities. I cannot recommend the team enough - they are devoted to their patients and their office manager, Jennifer, runs the whole show with ease and efficiency for patients. I am forever deeply grateful for this team. Do not stop, do not pass go, just head straight to Pro Active!

I have been a patient of Erin Johnson for over three years and I can't say enough wonderful things about this talented therapist. She has helped me recover from a spinal injury and is currently working with me on restoring my left foot from Drop Foot as a result of the prior spine injury. I totally trust her with my care and respect the knowledge she brings to her work. You wont go wrong at ProActive Physical Therapy.

I agree with Margaret. I, too, have used Erin several times in the past few years and find her very helpful, very kind, and very respectful. So far, I have had success with her instructions and her work. ProActive is the place to go for excellent PT.

Erin at ProActive Physical Therapy in Narragansett has been my therapist for several years. She is not only well educated but efficient, kind, thorough and explains what the treatment is and how it should be of help for my affected areas. I recommend her to anyone who is suffering from arthritic pain or those caused by injuries. Thank you Erin…. and staff.💖👍👍💖
