Proactive Health Therapeutic Services

Just got home from my first visit with Scott and I can already feel the difference in my range of motion in my shoulders. My whole body feels more free and I already scheduled my next appointment because I’m SOLD. That was the most intensely effective massage I’ve ever had and I have been getting massages somewhat regularly for the past 6 years. Scott knows his stuff and he is an extremely professional and ethical person I was more than comfortable that I was in good hands. I’m currently a student in massage school and I’m starting to feel the pain that comes from poor body mechanics and Scott taught me so much that I can do to have longevity in my career and I appreciate that so much. I’m so happy I found him and have hope once again that I will be able to continue on my path to becoming a massage therapist myself because I have not only the right therapist to keep my body in alignment, but a mentor who I already look up to and look forward to learning more from.

Scott was awesome, I have to admit I’m sore but the pain I had in my shoulder for two years has actually gone away. It was also great to hear what a great Daddy he is and how much he loves his kids. :)

Scott did an awesome job!!! By far the best massage and stretch session I have ever had. I was walking on clouds after the session. Very flexible after as well. He will find every tender spot on you and make it better. There will be some pain with it but it’s worth it. High recommend his services!!! The best in town

Today was my second visit. I waited to post a review since it was going to take a couple of sessions to see any results. I have some issues with tendonitis in my shoulder that physical therapists have trouble treating. I was looking for friction therapy that helps break up scar tissue because this has been the only thing to actually help me in the past. I was surprised that many therapists throughout the valley had no clue what I was talking about. After lots of searching I found Scott. Scott is very knowledgeable and works very deep. Although painful, this is what is required to generate healing of the tendon. I will continue to work with him and I am seeing improvement already. Strongly suggest his services for those with nagging injuries related to injuries. Thanks Scott!

We found Scott through his myriad raving reviews on Unilocal.His website lists his phone number and welcomes text messages (my preferred means of communication since phone calls aren’t always answered these days), so I texted asking if he had a same day availability after a certain time since we were flying in from Pittsburgh. Although he was busy, he was able to accommodate and even stayed overtime to give us a 90 instead of 60 minute session. My fiancé had been having pain and limited range of motion due to years of powerlifting and bodybuilding. We have seen multiple masseurs and therapists, but none got as deep as Scott was able to get. He quickly understood my fiancé’s body type and problems by interviewing, inspecting and palpating, and tailored his session accordingly. It was by no means a relaxing massage; rather, he used the force necessary to loosen and reset the injured muscles. I was allowed to sit in on the session in a comfortable sofa chair. Scott and I conversed the entire time, and I found him to be intelligent, witty, down-​to-​earth, and genuine. I have yet to meet a person more dedicated to his field with so much passion. We highly recommend Scott for anyone with any somatic dysfunction and plan to see him next time we’re in town.

Scott’s knowledge of the body is incredible and he is an expert at identifying underlying issues in order to address the problem head on. This is not about massage or relaxation – you can get that many places. This is about addressing mechanical issues to provide relief and improving function to whatever areas you need help. In my session, Scott was able to quickly assess and determine root causes of my pain and he immediately began a deep and fairly intense breakdown of the various tissues and problem areas. I will be going again!

If your having any issues or are looking to improve your bodies function, Proactive Health Therapeutic Services is the only place go. Scott did a great job listening to me and determining my underlying issues. The message was deep and provided much needed relief from my issues.
If your physical and want to step up your training or are looking to improve how your body functions… see Scott!

I am a retired gymnast who suffered with a pinch sciatic and achy back until attending this facility. Scott is fantastic and is truly skilled and knowledgable, able to diagnose and alleviate my pain. I recommend going if you are living with any type of pain. It is worth it!!!

Scott was great. No pain, no gain correct? Very informative!

I’ve gained more leg flexibility and have less knee pain after just two sessions here compared to weeks of work at a physical therapist. Thanks!

I have a shoulder and neck issues that have plagued me for years. A monthly session with Scott helps to improve my flexibility, mobility and circulation in my whole body. As others have said, this is no fluffy spa massage. This is serious deep muscle and tissue work. I’m happy with the results and recommend to others that are ready for real message therapy work.

To give some context, I have been to many PT’s and many body workers. I’ve even been a body worker. Scott is, so far, the best I’ve encountered. Do NOT go to Scott if you want to lay on a table and get rubbed for a while. It’s not about relaxation. Your body is your temple and all that, but it’s also a machine, and if the pulleys and levers are out of place/​sync/​whack, then no amount of epsom salt and meditation is going to cure what ails ya. Just like how you gotta work out to get stronger, you gotta work on your injuries to make them better.
I spend a very large portion of my life either rock climbing or hiking somewhere to film someone else rock climbing. The rest of my life is spent behind a computer, seated, in what is possibly the most unhealthy bodily configuration for someone with chronically tight forearms, upper arms, chest, and back. Add to that some chronic elbow tendonitis (or –osis, whatever), a hectic schedule living on the road, and you have a recipe for a bundle of chronic pain and limited mobility.
I keep most of this crap at bay with self-​therapy, but that only goes so far. It feels like vacuuming the kitchen floor, when really, it needs a mop.
Scott is that mop.
In 90 minutes, he took my forearm extensors to the bone, gave ‘em some active release… from typing, my pronators are as taut as a piano string. He isolated those bastards and gave ‘em what for. The back, neck, and shoulder work was incredible, as I could open my chest afterward… which is rare for those of us with hypertrophied backs who rarely use our pushing muscles.
If I’m in town long enough, I’m going back.

After a tibial plateau fracture and two surgeries to rebuild my knee with plates, screws, and bone grafts, I went through a year and a half of physical therapy. Two different physical therapists and my surgeon told me that I would probably never regain my full range of motion and that I had to accept that my leg would never be 100% again. As an active, healthy person, I was not willing to accept that! I found Scott through a Google search and within a few sessions, I could already feel the difference. He was able to get me back to a full range of motion and I have been able to go on extended backpacking trips carrying 30 – 45 lb. packs, wake board with no knee pain and, most days, I feel stronger than before I had my accident. Scott is a lifesaver and extremely knowledgeable about how to fix problems efficiently. He fixed (in about 8 sessions) what couldn’t be fixed in a year and a half of 3x/​wk physical therapy. I highly recommend his services!!!

Scott Zelensky is an amazing sports massage therapist. I’m a sponsored athlete and a firefighter/​emt which means I’m extremely active. Scott has helped me with my performance as an athlete and firefighter, better mobility and flexibility, and avoid injury. I’ve been using Scott’s services for 2 years and there is no one better qualified.

Scott is the best massage therapist that I have ever had. I always feel rejuvenated about 24 hours after his massages and ready to hit the gym feeling like a million bucks. I would recommend Scott for anyone that needs a good massage and is active in athletics.

My story… I am a CrossFit trainer as well as athlete. I am constantly using my body, my ENTIRE body, each day to do what I love. I woke up with a soreness in my shoulder that turned into both shoulders and it gradually got worse until I couldn’t even lift my arms. I went to a chiropractor which did help but after many visits with him, I still needed something more.
I was referred to Scott Zelensky at Proactive Health Therapeutic Services by a friend who was relieved of her back pain after just four sessions. Completely pain free!
I can honestly say that after just 2 sessions with Scott my pain level has gone from a 9 to a 2! I had numbness in my hand, pain in my back and very sore shoulders and now I am already on my way to recovering. You can imagine my frustration after not being able to move my arms, with full range of motion, for 3 months! Thanks to Scott, I can now. I highly recommend Scott for any aches, pains, soreness, and even numbness. His passion for healing truly shows through his work and progress of his patients!

My wife bought me a massage from this place and it was best and most painful massage I ever had. I do crossfit 4−5/days a week and i’m constantly sore. After the 90 minute session, I felt so much looser and relaxed. All the knots in my muscles he smoothed out. If you are an athlete who needs to gets some muscles smoothed out, go see Scott.

Scott’s massage was the best «real» massage I have ever had it may initially be painfull but it paid off!!!

Scott is a great therapist. He tailors the massage to your individual needs. If you have pain, he can help!

From Dee S.‘s review, I have had two appointments with Scott. Fortunately for me, I did not come here because of a car accident. However, as some of you witnessed at the Kabuki grand opening event in Tivoli Village, I have had reoccurring lower back pain, usually excruciatingly painful. I was unable to stand up straight sometimes. The first three major instances of the pain this past year, I was relieved with Aquastretch Therapy at UNLV. After I returned from my last international trip, the pain was unbearable and Aquastretch did not help.
I tried desperately to get an appointment with orthopedic specialist, but to no avail. It is nearly impossible to see a doctor for back pain — the wait was almost a month! I could not wait. I considered a sports injury style massage and found Dee’s review. On the web site, there was a special for new clients: $ 150 for 2 90-​minute massages (buy 1 get 1 free). The normal rate is $ 100 per hour, so this deal made it $ 50 an hour. This was worth a try for me.
The first time I went, I learned a lot from Scott about my pain. My right leg was jammed up into my hip so my legs were uneven. He was able to get me back to alignment. He did moderate to deep and like Dee said, this is no relaxation massage — don’t expect to feel like you are at a spa in the luxury hotels here. I handled the discomfort because I know he was working the painful areas to get me back to normal. He tested my leg strength and it was quite limited. Some acupressure helped me gain some strength back. He recommended daily stretching.
After I left, I was in pain for 3 to 4 days still and I was worried. However, the pain faded and has been gone for around 5 weeks. I still can’t touch my toes like I did before this pain started a year ago, but I can stretch, stand, walk, lay, sit, and do almost anything normal without the crazy pain I had previously experienced several times. Today I had my follow up appointment. My leg strength was much stronger, and Scott lightened his pressure at my request. I am confident that my pain will be kept at bay. Next, I need to try yoga to get more flexibility.
FYI: There is around a $ 6 charge for credit card payments. The building is behind the US Bank off Lake Mead a few blocks west of the 95, so turn into the bank and go around the back on the right of the office building complex. Remember, come here to relieve pain from injuries — athletic or otherwise. I did both appointments on Saturdays — there is a lot of availability but Scott does fill up so call well in advance.
