Reviews of Proactive Health Therapeutic Services (Massage Therapist)

Scuba Dive

Scott Z. is the best. He helped my tendinitis. I wish I could go 3 times a week.

George Schmidbauer

Scott is very knowledgeable in a variety of therapy techniques. I highly recommend him for injury recovery and pain management.

Holt Martin

I love to cycle, climb, hike and be outside. When I injured my back earlier this summer, Scott was able to accommodate me on a last minute notice, and helped get me back on the trails. I would highly recommend Scott for his expertise, professionalism, and knowledge of Sports Massage & Trigger Point therapy. He was able to identify the root of my injury and significantly increased the speed of recovery. If you are an athlete, weekend warrior, or simply struggle with pain, Scott will undoubtedly help you stay strong and active.

Grant Hartmann

Athlete or not, Scott will work out all of your knots and spots. His level of knowledge and expertise is beyond anything I have ever experienced. Weather you think you need a massage or not, you do! I highly recommend you make the time to visit Scott!

Look no further! Scott is diversified, highly trained, well practiced, & has honed his knowledge of several various types of skill, & put into practice a fine tuned craft of "body sorcery," the likes of which I have yet to come across in over 5 years of looking in Las Vegas. (Again, thank you Scott!) I believe I qualify as an expert in the matter as I was once a seasoned athlete, & am now a FT superhero, lol, AKA: someone whom is trying to manage as a survivor of multiple life changing, "Catastrophic injuries." My body is in the process of rebounding, as much as it can from YEARS spent (you don't want to know how many) in a hospital bed &/or power chair, & finding Scott has been a genuine blessing! (No more going down sketchy hallways in dirty homes to have someone stick faux suction cups on yr back, & "massage" you just enough to cripple you even further, usually with a weird wooden Bed Bath & Beyond tool that they got for Christmas, Ugh.) I know someone feels me. Well, those days are thankfully over! Scott's not only clearly regarded as an expert in his fied, but he's kind, accommodating, insightful, & most important, he has a seemingly never-ending, proverbial "bag of tricks" at his disposal, & in his arsenal (movie promo voice) to wage on the war against your pain! Ok, so I said it in a humorous fashion, but that makes it none the less true! I'm quite sure that I have yet to experience all of the healing techniques that Scott has mastered, (likely far from it) & I've been going pretty regularly for longer than 6 months, less than a year. Very impressive!! In addition, I always take the last appointment of the day, & don't have to worry if the stamina has already been spent so to speak, as he takes care of himself as well. I'd attempt to describe some of the amazing techniques that he's used in the ways of healing with me, but I'm quite sure that it would come out sounding as though "Hooked on Phonics" did Not work for me; so I hope my comments have conveyed how genuinely elated I am to have found someone whom can keep me moving!! The only regrets that I have are when I'm so busy that I'm "chasing my pain" rather than scheduling time for prevention; at least when that's the case, I know where I can go for the "good-good-Voodoo!" Thanks so much Scott!! Ps: Clarification for Millennials & those with a broken funnybone: Scott does not actually practice Voodoo, to my knowledge; although he's definitely a man of many miracles!

Tess Haagenson [May ES]

I've been having hip/leg problems from running for the past year. Since my first visit last week, I can feel a difference. I know it's not a one time fix-it deal, so I'm excited for my next session!

Alexander M

Thanks for coming he great service will definitely recommend all my friends and family to come and see Steve

Karla Filoteo

Scott is an amazing massage therapist, he is highly skilled and very professional. He genuinely cares and wants to help you feel better. He has always been able to work out my knots, aches and pains within one to two visits. I have recommended him several times to friends and family and will continue to do so, thank you Scott!!! I function better because I have you as my massage therapist!

Anthony Ramirez

Scott is amazing!!! He did great work on my son in high school.My son plays football and was having some back issues to the point he couldn’t even play and was having trouble running. My son was discouraged and thought his season was done. Nothing we tried was helping -not thechiropractor , the doctor, home therapy.Then I found out about Scott from a friend and he told me you won’t be disappointed -and boy was he right! Scott addressed the issues, and knew exactly what my son needed to help him get back to what he loved to do. My son was able to finish the season because of Scott. I am so appreciative of how he was able to help my son and get him back to being himself!! If you need help, you must go to Scott-trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

denise Rossi

The best massage I've ever had! Scott Z. really knows his stuff. He gets to know you and your issues, applies the appropriate pressure and backs off if you need him to. He is very knowledgeable and kind with his wisdom and offers help where he can. This is not your traditional spa massage and it is just what I was looking for and needed. He tests your flexibility and strength and helps in this area as well. Not only are you getting help with your ailments, but you are gaining knowledge to help yourself as well. Thank you very much Scott. I can't wait until my next session.

Kris Bassett

I don’t have a sport injury, but I do have constant muscle stiffness and pain due to a “frozen shoulder” condition. Regularly scheduled visits with Scott have improve my range of motion, flexibility and have helped to relieve the pain and stiffness from this chronic condition. His massage techniques and understanding of the bones, muscles and tissue differentiate him from other standard massage therapists in town. If you are having problems with muscle pain or lack of mobility, I recommend trying Pro Health Therapeutic.

Mary Beth Donahoe

I'm a professional dancer and actor with chronic muscle soreness and some more recent dance injuries. Scott was phenomenal in working through various injuries with strength and pressure that worked deep into the core of my muscles without causing me pain or discomfort. He truly knows what he's doing and was able to improve both my muscle flexibility and strength with some trigger point therapy at the end of the session, as well. His extensive experience and thorough communication throughout the massage made for one of the most effective massage sessions I've had. Thank you!

Laurie Ward

As a long distance runner, I cannot say enough great things about how this helped reduce the pain I was having in the key areas that were affecting my overall day to day performance! His years of experience are evident in the treatment and he is extremely professional. Since treatment, I have reached out to the fitness community I am involved with and referred his service in hopes they can also benefit from ART! Thanks again Scott!!

Michael Castle

I had not able to play tennis because I had many muscular problems in my left leg, but thanks to Scott I can run thru the whole court again.

Jack Thalgott

If you want to get better and maintain high levels of athleticism then Scott is the guy to see. He knows what he is doing, is very knowledgeable on all the muscles and how your particular brand of sports lead to your weaknesses. I recommend him to everyone I know if you want to stay strong and injury free

Marcos Morales

I highly recommend Scott's services to anybody that is suffering from muscular aches/tightness. He is the man to see no doubt about it.

Steve Lazar

We go through our lives trying to get our work/home "lists" done and find time to play. Working out, eating right, getting as much rest as possible in these supersonic times, and even when we're lucky some spa and/or massage time. And yet our bodies, our gifts, sometimes just don't work right; reaching for that thing on the floor and a muscle or bone goes click, and life goes sideways. What do you do? in these times we want instant relief, we think medicine, maybe chiropractic, ice or heat... and when that doesn't work we keep pushing on, trying to bury the injury and get on with our life. I have personal experience with this and should know better, and when I finally got to ProActive Health four days had gone by and I was thinking that maybe I should go to the emergency room and get checked for a heart attack. The pain was going through my back and into my chest at this point. Scott listens. He understands your anatomy and the physiology that makes it work. More importantly, he has an insatiable curiosity for what works around the world; and there is no one right way. He knows how to make you give up any secret with the lightest touch in the right place, but his ethics and professionalism only make you feel wonderful. He has taken my "train wreck" and revived it's ( almost :) concours condition. If only he could distill his essence and sell it! There is no better.

Linley Hull

I think it's safe to say that Scott is the best in town at what he does. I say this with confidence because I've seen countless doctors and bodyworkers over the course of 10 years of trying to fix my back. Within two sessions Scott was able to give me range of motion that I haven't had in years! I've never been so optimistic about my recovery as I am now. Definitely see Scott if you have body pain due to muscle tightness, fascial restrictions, muscular imbalances, or bad posture. You won't regret it!

Jodi Brewer

The Best therapeutic work I have ever had... I am disable. He has helped with my standing... A must go 2.

Sam Raimist

A massage from Scott Zelensky was exactly what I needed for my sports injuries. I went to Proactive Health Therapeutic Services for a deep-tissue sports massage to help with a recent back injury. His knowledge of anatomy and years of experience had me feeling better the moment a stood up from the massage table. For all the bumps and bruises I have accumulated between everything from rock-climbing, to weightlifting, boxing, wrestling, and MMA, a session with Scott is exactly what I need to keep me healthy and at the top of my game.

Desiree Arnold

I am a technician and fabricator so I do heavy manual labor but since being injured a few years ago I have seen more massage therapists than I can count - most of them provide very limited relief for the pain and symptoms I experience. After moving to Las Vegas I spent months trying out different therapists here with little success until I found Scott at Proactive Health; who is exactly the type of therapist I was looking for! He is not just a masseuse who encourages relaxation - Scott has extensive knowledge of anatomy and trigger-points which he uses to help correct muscle imbalances. The best part is this actually helps to correct and heal chronic issues. I am incredibly grateful to have found Proactive Health and highly recommend him to anyone tired of living with physical pain.

Christine 702

Scott is a great sports and injury massage specialist. I was in a bad car accident almost 2 years ago. Sometimes I have flare ups on my neck and lower back. Scott gets all my knots out from my neck to my lower back. I am so grateful that I have found him.

Anne McGuire

Excellent! Scott fixed things on me that I thought I needed surgery for. I highly recommend his services!!

Tiffany Oba

My son is a young athlete who was experiencing extreme stiffness, limited mobility and growing pains.Scott was able to help him with his flexibility and his general mobility. Scott was very patient and willing to explain and talk us through his first session. Scott is definitely the best sports massage therapist in the city! I would definitely recommend him to any athlete who is in need of deep tissue massage and sports therapy message.Thanks again Scott, you are amazing! Will be coming to see you soon!

Kristin Styles

Scott doesn't have a light touch, so relaxing isn't what I would call his type of massage--haha! But he gets down deep and releases muscles you don't even know are there. As a sports massage therapist, he is excellent! He helped me with both my neck and hip. He was very friendly and easy to talk to and very conscious of what I needed in terms of bodywork as well as comfort. Highly recommend!

Douglas Wickert

Soft tissue miracle worker! Brilliant touch for diagnosing and restoring functional movement patterns in athletes. I went to Scott three days before a 100-mile ultramarathon for medial tibial stress and peroneal muscle strain that had developed in the final week before my race. Treating a repetitive stress injury so close to a race requires an extremely precise touch: sufficiently deep to clean the tissue, but light enough to permit the tissue to adequately heal in time for the start line. Scott absolutely nailed it. The tissue was sore for two days and ready-to-race on race morning. I ran a hard race with no lingering issues from the RSI (finishing top 10 in a competitive, international field). Scott's experience is clearly evident in his technique and his general knowledge. During my running career, I have been treated by various sports doctors in LA, DC, Ohio, and Las Vegas (in LA, I routinely visited Meb Keflezighi’s A.R.T. provider). Scott is among the best practitioners I have ever encountered. He takes the time to understand the underlying mechanics behind an injury and offers sound recommendations for improving functional movement patterns. I could not more strongly recommend Scott Zelensky for sports massage and soft tissue injury.

Terri Merz

I think Scott Zelensky is incredible and has helped me greatly with his therapeutic massage. I highly recommend!

Hera Chloe

I have all kinds of back problems and Scott does an awesome job getting out all the tension without compromising a relaxing session. He knows exactly how much pressure to give without over doing it. I drive across town just to see him when I can. Amazing Amazing Amazing. Thanks again Scott ! - Thuy T

Shelley Price

I got my first massage from Scott a few days ago, and this man is seriously a wizard! I've tried more massage therapists than I can count for headaches that stem from tight neck and traps, and it was obvious from even our initial chat that Scott is more knowledgeable than anyone else I've seen in Vegas. He is incredibly well-studied, mentioning peer-reviewed health studies and sports-specific knowledge of anatomy and physiology as he worked on my neck and shoulders. He has studied both eastern and western techniques and seemed to expertly combine them as he conducted incredibly intuitive body work.

Sandy M.

The BEST massage therapist ever ..... I highly recommend Proactive Health Therapeutic Services. I am not an athlete - I am a business professional who spends the majority of my day typing reports on a computer, with this comes a lot of stiffness, in my hips & lower back from all the sitting and in my back, shoulders, neck and arms from all the typing. Scott is an expert in loosing up all these areas and working through the tightness, He includes stretching out those areas to help your range of motion. There are no words to describe how much better I feel after one of his massages. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment - your body will "Thank You" :-)

Christopher Roberson

Scott’s the best at what he does,I’ve had a few issues from bodybuilding and Scott has literally fixed almost every issue this guy is the real deal.. if you want the best go see Scott!!!

Susan Steward

Scott is a miracle worker when it comes to working the kinks out! He has helped issues I’ve had from the top of my head to my feet! I wouldn’t see or trust anyone else for massage therapy.

Briana Ditlove

I tore my right rotator cuff a few years ago and every now and again, the pain radiates down my right arm and down the right side of my spine. The pain I have can be pretty intense and I haven’t been able to find anyone else like Scott Zelensky. Let me tell you... he has the magic touch when it comes to a sports massage. I walk in feeling crappy and in so much pain and walk out feeling refreshed, relaxed, and and more comfortable. Thank you for all your help Scott, I don’t know what I would do without you or Proactive Health Therapeutic Services!!! -Briana

Nicole Virga

Scott is amazing! I pulled something in my upper back/neck while playing softball, and I was in pain for 6 weeks. Nothing that I did helped the pain. I found reviews of Scott online and decided to go see him. He is very knowledgeable and was able to work out my pain and also the tons of knots in my back and neck as well. My pain had been so bad that I didn't know if I would ever sleep well again, but after seeing Scott it was almost completely gone! Can't wait to get back for a follow up.

Sarah J

Scott is a miracle worker! I have horrible shin splints that won't go away no matter what I do. Since seeing Scott I have seen a major improvement, they hurt way less and if I miss seeing him, my shins definitely notice and I make another appointment. I would recommend him to any and every one. Very kind person and gives helpful tips on stretching as well!

Robert Whelchel

I had a wonderful massage from Scott. Very knowledgeable. I would defiantly recommend him!

Hannah Banana

It’s been awhile since I had a massage, I slacked on the self care thing. I felt fine so I didn’t feel like I needed one. I broke my foot a few weeks ago and have had to be on crutches. I guess I wasn’t as fine as I thought because the tension built up and all of a sudden I had a rib pop out and couldn’t breathe. I texted Scott and described what I was feeling and he immediately knew what was going on. He said he has seen it lots of times. He got to work on me and found that a couple of my ribs were actually stuck together from an old car accident injury that never healed right I guess. The whole night before, I was in so much pain from it I could only sleep on my right side, and not very well. I couldn’t even sit in an upright position or lay on my back without stabbing pain making it so I could only take shallow breaths. Scott did what needed to be done, it was deep work and it hurt but I knew to let him do his thing because he knows what he’s doing. After just one hour session, I can breathe again and I was able to sleep on both sides that night and on my back. I can drive without discomfort and I know I need to go back and let him do some more work on my ribs to prevent this from happening again. The body will heal itself one way or another. You can take care of it with professional help like Scott to make sure it heals the proper way, or you can let it “heal” on its own and have to deal with it again and again in the future. I learned my lesson and I will be back to take care of my body properly. Thank you Scott! You really take for granted what a blessing it is to take a full breath until that blessing is taken away. There is nothing more sacred than breath. Bless you Scott.

Antonio Gonzalez

Scott is fantastic!! at what he does he truly cares for his clients. No BS with this guy he knows what he's doing and is a MASTER at it. I'm a bodybuilder and personal trainer fulltime I was having lower back pain for 5months it was starting to travel down my leg on a scale from 1-10 my pain was at 8 and the lowest at a 6. I live in a small town in AZ and I went to many places to try to get this problem solved just money down the drain for a while .... until I found Scott I kid you not after my 1st session I felt 95% better I couldn't even believe it. God Bless this Guy. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Scott

Robin Willett

Incredible sports massage therapist!! Scott is masterful in aiding joints and muscles to proper relief for recovery. As a weight lifter, keeping muscles relaxed and staying flexible is a must. I have had numerous sessions with Scott and am always able to increase athletic performance following. He has an incredible understanding of the body and tailors each massage to alleviate and target your needed area. I would highly recommend him for his exemplary massage and therapy skills. Very knowledgeable and professional. Two Thumps Up!!

John Hartmann

Scott is by far the best massage that i have ever had. If u want to feel better than u have ever felt in your life I would highly recommend a visit to Scott. Enjoy

William Baker

Scott is outstanding his treatments have helped me with my everyday activities. I am very active being in the military for 20 plus years and heavily involved in crossfit. His sessions always leave me feeling ready for the next couple weeks of challenges. I highly recommend his services.

Donna M

I was having some horrible pain in my leg/hamstring/glut area for months before I found Scott. Even after the first session I noticed a huge difference and it wasn’t painful to run again. All I can say is he’s amazing, knows his stuff and highly recommend him!

Taylor Lampe

HIGHLY reccomend this if you are suffering from aches, pains, numbness, or soreness. After just two sessions I can honestly say I am almost totally pain free! I had a pinched nerve in my back that was causing my hand pain and numbness. I also had a sore, painful, immobile shoulder from overuse. Try Pro Active Health Therapeutic Services! Totally worth it!

Sandra Jaoude

I can not say enough good things about Scott this man has helped me in numerous ways! I used to bodybuild and no where could I find a therapist that could give me the pleasure I needed constantly with Scott each treatment was as good as the first and it would seem as if he could never get tired of applying pressure! He helped me tremendously reach the full potential of my muscle by streatching my fascia and keeping up with my muscle growth. There were couple of mornings I woke up and I had pinched my sciatica nerve so bad I had trouble walking and any sudden movement would put me in to extreme pain I had called Scott desperate for help and he squeezed me in I think for his lunch break which means he did not eat lunch that day and treated me making the pain go away up to 70% just by one treatment and I came back two days or so after for another massage and the pain was completely gone I could go on and on about all the ways this man has helped me but than people would get bored reading this. Scott is not only a master at what he does but also caring and compassionate towards his clients which can just mean that he is a good hearted and genuine man! I would highly recommend him to anyone I know and I have. On a regular basis I would bring my friends in that would come for a visit fellow bodybuilders and now every time there in town they make an appointment.

Ron Gallagher

Scott is knowledgeable, experienced, and highly skilled. I would recommend him highly for all your massage needs! Thanks scott for keeping me active!

John Seaman

If your having muscle issues in your back, shoulders or legs, Scott is the person to relief your pain. He knows the human body and goes right to your problem area he is one of the best sport massage therapist in Vegas.

Lazar Siroyan

Scott is an amazing therapist. I'm an active crossfit athlete that workout almost everyday. I first went to Scott with some excruciating lower back pain. The pain was so bad I was barely berthing. Scott's professionalism, knowledge, skills and dedication to his profession fixed my issues in couple of sessions. Since then I have revisited him multiple times and recommended Scott to all my friends and family members who had any type off issues with their spine, muscles, chronic numbness, and even migraine... Every single one of them got back and thanked me for introducing them to Scott.

GSS Ghost

Scott of Proactive Health has done wonders for my golf game giving me instant results. Last year I went to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, CA to get evaluated and failed a ton of basic movement tests. I was desperate for help after having done all their assigned workouts with no real results. Scott took care of all my scar tissue and huge muscle knots which were greatly limiting my movement. He also worked his "PNF" stretching on me and dramatically improved my range of motion throughout my entire body. Scott's been working on me for over 6 weeks now and I can honestly say that I've truly been blessed to be working with someone so skilled, knowledgeable, professional, thoughtful, courteous and extremely funny. The modern day "Mr. Miyagi"! Seriously!

Gul Gazipura

Bad fall caused shoulder injury. Rotator Cuff and tendinitis. Scott worked on my shoulder to help me get back my range of motion and strength. Unbeleivable what he has done for me. The “massage” I get as part of my physical therapy is not adequate. If I had not found Scott, I would still be in constant pain. He has unbeleivable hands and knowledge. Best way to find out is to have him work on you a few times !!

Rob Norberg

Scott Zelinsky. Proactive Health Services. Best pain relief and therapuetic massage in Las Vegas! Great location near Summerlin parkway. I was looking for a sports injury specialist in massage. I've had back and leg pain that has kept me sidelined from various sports such as tennis, golf, running, weight lifting. Deep tissue massage has been the only thing that has healed me in the past and this is Scott's specialty. At 48 years old, my hips are so tight that normal stretching and yoga can't access the deeper muscle tissue. Scott is able to release the tension and pain that inevitably accumulates after sports abuse. The latest was a hamstring and lower back injury that Scott fixed within a couple sessions.

Bill Jones

I have low back spine problems that have been bothering me for years. After finding Scott and the work he is doing has really helped in getting my spine better aligned. My first visit with him he also worked on my neck, after his treatment I could move my head better than it has in a long time. I still continue to use Scot along with my medical professionals. Scott is not an ordinary therapist. He works on what needs to be done and does it well. I would recommend Scott to anyone. Thanks Scott.

RTK

Going to see scott at proactive health has been life changing. Years of bodybuilding and a severe injury in my neck was ruining my life and my health. I was unable to workout and had severe pain. After seeing scott i felt better after every session and eventually he healed my injuries. He has a passion for helping others and im very grateful that i found someone so skilled and such a master of fixing the body.

Kalosz Petro91

The most professional and qualify person in Las Vegas . One stop for a real professional massage

patricia s

I am a 72 year old woman. I exercise on a regular, almost daily basis in order to stay physically fit as I continue to age. Even though exercising causes pain somewhere in my body I intend to keep doing it because the results are worth it. Sometimes just an awkward twist or turn movement can trigger pain. I also, have chronic neck and back pain. Over the years I’ve tried various forms of therapy to no avail. Recently, I was suffering with a bout of neck pain and a wicked headache that just wouldn’t go away. I was at my wits end! I went on the internet, desperate to find someone that could help alleviate the terrible pain I was experiencing. During my search I found Scott Zelensky and his website: Proactive Health Thearpeutic Services. While reading and looking over his website one statement jumped out at me: “If you’ve got pain I can help”. Even though his website seemed to be focused on highly trained, professional athletes I thought if this very skilled sports massage therapist could help elite athletes he could definitely help me. I called him and left a message telling him about my pain issues, my age, and that I was not a professional athlete. In just a few hours Scott called me. He was very reassuring. He told me: yes, I can help you. I made an appointment. Scott squeezed me in so I wouldn’t have to wait. With that first therapy session I knew I was in the right place. Scott Zelensky has made all the difference in the world...my world. Now I can exercise and stay active knowing Scott’s healing hands and energy will make that as pain free as possible. To top it off all off Scott is a real gentleman. After my second visit my husband summed it up perfectly. The first thing he said to me when I walked into our house was: “ you look like you’re stoned”! NOW THATS RELIEF !!!

Gary Ginsburg

Scott is one of the best massage therapists I have ever been to . He took a lot of time finding the exact muscles that were causing extreme discomfort.Then he went to work . I felt so much better after one session and my pain almost gone, by the second visit even better . Thank you so much . I encourage any one with muscle pain or weakness to seek him out . He is highly professional and very friendly.
