Friendly staff, expert service! I would highly recommend Breakthrough Rehab to anyone. I went there because my sprained wrist was not healing and i started to notice good improvement within a few weeks of therapy.

Every once in a while, you have the good fortune to meet a person whose character and competence are perfect for their profession — a true master. Bert Tada, the PT at Breakthrough Rehab in Kaimuki, is just such a person. He is knowledgeable, courteous, and an expert massage therapist. I obtained an Rx for 8 sessions of PT on my sore and swollen Achilles from a local podiatrist. This is a chronic problem I have been coping with on my own for years, but after a recent flare-up in the wake of an exhausting weekend of tennis, I decided to seek professional help. I am soooo glad I did. After just 3 sessions of PT, I have almost no pain, the swelling has reduced a noticeable amount, and my ankles feel much stronger and more stable. My PT regimen has three basic components: massage, rehab exercise, and ultrasound/laser(more on this in a minute). Bert’s massage technique provides just the right amount of stimulation and pressure. It is so soothing and effective that I am already considering paying out-of-pocket for additional massage therapy when my Rx is over. The rehab is a good mix of stretching and strengthening while improving balance. For the final component, Bert gave me the choice of ultrasound and«cold» laser, administered by his friendly helper Jan. I decided to try both(one on each of my first two visits) and then go with the one that seemed more effective. Verdict? Laser. Though far from scientifically verifiable, the laser seemed to provide more benefits in terms of reducing swelling and increasing comfort. But for all I know, ultrasound could be just as effective. Parking is easy in the basement of the building and fully reimbursed. Could not be happier with my Breakthrough Rehab experience.
