What makes Neuroactive UNIQUE?

  • Convenience

    I come to you! Primarily, I provide treatment in your home. This allows us to troubleshoot real world mobility problems and help you to become more independent and safe in your own environment (no more simulation, just doing the real thing). It also saves you time and hassle (no more difficult parking, extra car transfers, travel time).

    In addition, you can also choose any other location you want to be active in. Sessions can occur at the park, on your favorite hiking trial, at the grocery store, at your job, in your pool, or any other location where you want to learn the best and safest way to mobilize and thrive. There are no limits!

  • Specialization

    I don’t treat people with orthopedic problems or other issues most PT clinics address. I only treat people with neurological diagnoses- stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, vestibular impairments, MS, Parkinson’s, etc. That is because I am a Neurological Clinical Specialist, meaning I went through board certification to specialize in treating neuro conditions and that is my passion. I am laser focused and skilled at addressing issues related to neurological disorders.

  • Dedication

    Neuroactive is a small practice. I am not seeing 20 patients a day, scattered, and burnt out. I am doing things different than the traditional outpatient PT model so that I can be a part of each patient’s team, in their corner, and dedicated to getting them better. When you are part of my client base, I am committed to helping you meet your mobility goals.

  • Value

    A session with Neuroactive is, at minimum, a full hour of intense, research-based, individualized therapy or wellness visits. There are no distractions from you. No being passed to another clinician who doesn’t know you, no doing exercises with non-skilled techs, and no other patients being treated at the same time. You, your goals, and your progress have my whole, undivided attention throughout your whole visit. And if you would benefit from a longer session, we do that. No insurance restrictions means we can do what is best for you and your recovery.

  • Focus

    Your goals are the goals we will work towards. I will take time to listen. I want to know what motivates you, what you are struggling with, and what you want to get back to doing. That way I can tailor your treatment to what matters to you. I’m passionate about exploring all avenues to give you the best results possible.

Client Testimonials

  • "My husband had a stroke in April 2024. We started working closely with Vanessa/Neuroactive Therapy and Wellness early on in his stroke recovery journey. She has been an asset for our family during transition from inpatient rehabilitation to home and she helped make sure that our home was set up safely for him. Vanessa has an aptitude for making positive connections with her patients, even when the patient might present unique challenges. Her ability to inspire and motivate her patients to find determination during difficult times has been very apparent. Her treatments are intentional and evidence-based, and I have no doubt that my husband is making greater strides in his recovery he would not have made without her visits. Vanessa’s passion for what she does is unmatched and I highly recommend her services to anyone who may find themselves or a family member dealing with similar circumstances."

  • "We have benefited immensely from working with Vanessa Kaczmarek during my husband’s stroke recovery. He has enthusiastically endorsed her knowledgeable guidance with an encouraging and honest communication style. She clearly shares goals and teaches the work to be done to achieve them. We especially appreciate her personalized attention to the equipment he has needed. One size does not fit all! She has used her excellent resources to individualize items like a wheelchair, brace and cane to get the best fit for him. Since we have a busy therapy schedule, she has created a schedule that works for all of us, and she is timely and dependable. We’re very grateful for her input. We’re told that my husband is recovering ahead of the curve for people with his injury. We highly recommend her!"

    -Karen

  • "I am so glad that we made the decision to go with Vanessa with Neuroactive Therapy and Wellness after Jacob’s release from SRC. He suffered a massive TBI and wasn’t given much of a chance in the beginning. She makes such a difference in Jacob’s therapy. When we have therapy days with her, he does amazingly well....Vanessa just has built a bond with him and he is all gas and no brakes when it comes to her! Another day my boy amazed me. He was literally trotting, almost running. I’m so proud of him and it’s unexplainable. I know the Lord has a plan for him that is larger than anything that I can imagine. He will be fully restored and walking, running and being himself soon but without Vanessa’s expertise it would be slow going."

    -Michelle and Jacob

  • "My son Kyle and I were looking for a NeuroPT who had extensive experience working with adults like my son Kyle. We were connected to Vanessa, owner of Neuroactive Therapy, by a PT at Spain Rehab. There is a huge gap in services for adults with neurophysical challenges once they "age" out of the Children's Hospital out- patient PT programs. Kyle does not use words to speak so it was extremely important to us that we work with a PT that has experience, patience and passion for working with this special population. We are so grateful that Vanessa and her company have chosen to meet this gap in services that is so desperately needed for families of adult children with significant spinal and neurophysical therapies. Kyle cannot wait until Vanessa comes each week. He has gotten stronger, happier and by understanding Kyle's potential thru Vanessa's work with him it gives us reassurance as a family that we are giving Kyle what he needs to be a healthy, sustainable wheelchair user!!"

    -Autumn

  • "I have been working with Vanessa now for approximately four months, and she has been spot on in terms of appointments as well as phone calls. More importantly, her wisdom upon arrival has been invaluable. She really knows her stuff! I highly recommend her and give her a five star review."
