History
Established in 2006.
Founded in 2006 by physical therapist Tiffany Prangnell, Imua Physical Therapy started out as South Shore Physical Therapy & Sportsmedicine. Tiffany saw the need in Maui, and started the first clinic in Kihei. But God had bigger plans! A few years after the first clinic was established, a friend and former co-worker led her to open a satellite clinic in Kahana out of a local gym.
In June of 2012, we officially expanded to our own location in Kahana across the street from the gym we had been partnering in, and officially changed our name to Imua Physical Therapy. Imua (v., ee-moo-a), an ancient Hawaiian word meaning to take on, charge and advance. Another concept is "moving forward". This defines for us what we want to do for our patients, employees and community!
We opened a central satellite office in Wailuku in 2012, and in 2014 we moved from Kahana to Honokowai- moving in with Dr. Richard Sargent, DC. Soon after, we opened our Lahaina location in the Keawe Business Center. Most
