About us Proactive is a private clinic, established in 2001. Proactive became part of the Ability Matters Group in April 2022, the largest provider of prosthetics and orthotics in the UK and Ireland, who have provided further investment in the service to facilitate growth, whilst also ensuring that the patient-centred and friendly nature of the service continues to thrive.
At Proactive we are passionate about socket design and hold this in the highest regard when making a prosthesis for our patients. We constantly strive to improve results and invest in the latest cutting-edge technology. We have extensive experience with MPK and MPF devices and other advanced upper extremity functional components. Our clinical and technical teams collaborate closely with each other offering peer-to-peer support. As a company, we offer full support for the training needs of our staff and support CPD activities.
We work as part of an MDT led by a consultant in rehabilitation medicine; the team includes Physio, OT, Clinical Psychologist, and Exercise Rehab Instructors. We also work as part of a surgical group offering amputation, revision surgery, and pain management. Given the nature of our patient referrals, we typically work with a patient group of highly motivated individuals aiming to achieve the best levels of outcome.
Our purpose-built facility enjoys a beautiful riverside setting close to the town centre. Godalming is a small town centred in the heart of the Surrey countryside, two miles south of Guildford, closely linked to the A3 and 15 minutes from Junction 10 of the M25, and has good rail links to London and the South coast.
