    , . It's bad…read more when Shauna (Dr.Russel) evaluates you & and says, " ' ." 6 years ago, I was BIPT patient for my left knee. At that time, I knew I would need help with what was going on in my right shoulder. My PCP offered me drugs rather than another PT referral. This began years of compensating while doctor hopping. I'm not afraid of work... I do fear taking more meds than absolutely necessary. I was determined to keep lifting though. That magnified my issue as compensation began affecting my left shoulder as well. I got used to painful numbness & having my shoulders pop out & reset. Being in pain became my normal state of being. Earlier this year, I finally found a PCP who listened when I asked for a referral during a routine check-up. I finally got the notice I had hoped for! The very next day, I was evaluated & given a treatment plan. After years of pain, I wanted to take an aggressive approach at shoulder rehab. In so choosing, I had to be diligent & consistent. That was my responsibility. BIPT was responsible for providing a solid treatment program, walking me through everything with optimal form. Some work was familiar, some work was new. None of it was easy. I had to humble down and work lighter weights. I eventually began to feel & see progress. One morning, I realized the numbness didn't hinder my sleep. Some days, I found increased ROM with my exercises . I'm so grateful to the entire staff at BIPT Consistent good vibes & encouragement from reception to discharge at every appointment. Everyone I worked with was professional, observant & patient with my limitations, encouraging me through sessions. The positive environment definitely encourages progress. After 9 weeks, I was discharged with huge improvements. I knew from my previous experience with BIPT that drugs would have simply been a bandage. Mahalo staff for helping my shoulders return to functionality!

    The owner Shauna wrote back to me months after my terrible experience here in which they set me up…read morewith two young unlicensed girls (one with whom I had an appointment turned her back on me and turned me over to a teen). I was not there to lift weights. Again, they had me lift weights more than 20% of my body weight resulting in my back going out. I was not there to lift weights. I am 73 with a scheduled surgery. Shauna just replied 5 months after the incident and said they could not contact me when I am available 24/7. IN FACT, Medicare's outside consultants tried for one month to contact BIG ISLAND THERAPY with NO RESPONSE. I am now with physical therapist facility who is sensitive to patients needs as individuals. Not like BIT.

    I am not happy with the services that were provided with this Business. The therapist Linda is not…read morefollowing Doctor's request for heat, ultrasound and massage after my exercise. When I confronted the Business Manager and asked to see on my chart if the request from my doctor was on my chart. She told me that the Therapist is the one that makes the decision on what she wants to do with her clients. When I asked her more questions about my situation she changed the story around and began to tell me, that I owe her $25.00 for a no show fee from Last week Monday. I usually get a reminder phone call to let me know that my appointment for Monday is on Friday before.I was told that Friday's phone calls is to remind people of their Monday appointments and Monday calls is for Tuesday. Scottie called me that same day in the morning reminding me to bring a mask or no services will be provided. He failed to tell me that I have an appointment that morning when he called me.There is NO sign that says that there is a $25.00 fee for No Show in their office. I told her that I do not feel that I should pay for it. She told me that she will refuse services if I did not pay for it. When I went back to Linda and asked her why, I was not getting heat, ultrasound and massage she said, that her only focus was for me to get exercise and will not help me with getting pain relief after the exercise session. I went there with 6.5 level of pain and now I have experiencing a 10. I would not recommend you going here if you want to go there with pain and leave them in pain.

Dont be suprised that they will have you do exercises after workong on you, then they gravitate to their fellow physical therapist spending more time talking story than paying attention to their clients.
