My Dad's PCP recommended Aqua Therapy to help strengthen his leg muscles. OrthoSport in Niu Valley…read morewas one of the few options on the island; although it was a bit of commute, it's turned out to be a great choice. A customer's experience with such personalized service usually banks on their relationship with their therapist. In this case, we are fortunate to be aligned with Summer. She's a pro - patient, clear in her exercise instructions, encouraging (yet firm), and flexible with some of our last minute scheduling issues (Niu Valley is quite a commute from Moanalua). The facility is right behind Jack in the Box on Kalanianaole Hwy; the light at the left turning lane can try your patience. Parking during lunch hour can be a little challenging; fortunately it is very large parking lot shared by other businesses. They do a nice job with scheduling/changing your appointments, and the email reminders really do help (as does the $50 penalty if you cancel in less than 24 hours). All in all, the experience of going through this form of PT along with the physical exertion without impact to your joints is definitely worthwhile!

I WOULD NOT USE ORTHO SPORT-HERE IS WHY…read more For everyone of my visits Kevin arrived 3 to 4 minutes late. Almost every visit was ended at least 5 minutes before the hour. About 20% of the session Kevin was writing notes about what just happened. Every 10th session was almost entirely spent recording measurements and strength of where I was at. I was told by Kevin that Medicare required this. I spoke to Medicare and was told that they do not require reports. I am approaching the 4th month of my recovery. This is the time when my strengthening is most important as I am limping from muscle weakness. Kevin has told me he is cutting my sessions from 2 to 1 session per week. I asked why and he told me that Medicare will not be approving 2 sessions. I asked Medicare about this. They referred me to page 48 of the Medicare Handbook which says if the Doctor prescribes 2 visits per week that is what will happen. Medicare does not challenge what a Doctor thinks is necessary. Attached are photos from the current Medicare Handbook that contradict what I was told by Ortho Sport. Even with this Ortho Sport still stands by their contradictory statements. I have found a different physical therapy provider who does NOT makeup rules. I also realize by what I have written above that my 1 hour session was "at best about 30 minutes of physical therapy". Many Physical Therapists offer websites or apps that show you videos of the suggested exercises to do. They also offer other options to help with your recovery. Ortho Sport merely prints out a sheet of paper. It is very hard to believe that Ortho Sport has 241 reviews and everyone is 5 stars. That is not likely considering life is not perfect. Please consider what I have written in making your decision. I have given the honest facts of my experience. Ortho Sport has stood by what Medicare said is not true even though it is in writing and told to me explicitly when I spoke with them.

I have such mixed feelings because this is 5 stars for Tara, but 1 star for other providers. I've…read morethought about this review for many months. Long story short I really have a bad taste in my mouth from certain providers. I found them to be condescending and to position themselves as the authority, rather than evoking and collaborating with my wisdom and expertise on my own body. Also I find that people who are naturally thin tend to make a lot of assumptions about women who aren't naturally thin in terms of how fit we are. Your assumptions were wrong. However for Tara, she made me feel very seen and heard and took a far more collaborative approach. Additionally she stayed curious about what was going on and made some really crucial observations which lead to me seeking further medical tests and learning that in contrast to PT's diagnoses, I actually have osteoarthritis and a totally shredded up hip joint with multiple tears and degenerative cartilage at the most severe level someone can have. I wish I'd sought more testing sooner as I might have been able to intervene before the damage got this bad but super grateful to Tara for her insight and suggestions. She was amazing start to finish. So overall, mixed bag. I hope the other providers can take a more humble approach, recognizing the strengths and wisdom of their clients.

I have been suffering from a degenerative spine or lower back disorder for over 20 years. It was so bad that I was considering leaving the job I've had for many years as a professor and program director at a major university on Oahu. After years of being treated and just getting worse, I finally started using Dr. Schaefer a few years ago. As soon as I met her I realized right away that she had tremendous compassion for her patients. She also has that knack for diagnosis and, as I quickly found out, had a number of ways of treating and managing my chronic back pain. I just don't know how to thank her. As most people with chronic pain know, it tends to dominate your life and can even affect your relationships with those closest to you. For years I had been seeing orthopedic surgeons,, sports medicine doctors, etc., not realizing that a specialist in pain management would prove to be the most effective kind of doctor in treating my pain. Thanks to Dr. Schaefer, I have my life back again. Gary Helfand, Ph.D.
