I've been coming here for almost ten physical therapy sessions, and I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Everyone is so kind and patient -- including the front desk staff. From the moment I walk in, I feel welcomed and taken care of. Every visit puts me in a better mood, which honestly says a lot when you're dealing with physical therapy. The treatments have really helped, and I've noticed real improvement. The clinic is clean, comfortable, and has such a positive vibe. It's also in a super convenient location, and the free parking is a huge bonus. I'm genuinely grateful for my therapist Jason and the entire team here, and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for physical therapy. read more

Carlo is the goat! Best physical therapist ever. Helped my knee a ton. Miyuki best massage therapist. She had me get up during the message and stretch and continue because she actually knew what was going on with my muscles. Overall great place. read more

Navigating through persistent foot and neck pain during my gym and yoga sessions was a struggle until I discovered Holisticare Physical Therapy in Honolulu. IMO, Dr. Chang and his team are among the best physical therapists in Hawaii. From the get-go, Dr. Chang was transparent and honest, diagnosing my issues with multiple options for treatment. His candid communication about the potential and limitations of the treatment options was refreshing. Every session was custom tailored for my needs and a set of articles/videos were sent to me so that I can continue the treatments at home. After a few months with two of their PTs, my foot and neck pain subsided. Holisticare hasn't just treated me; they've empowered me with knowledge and tools for sustainable pain management. A big thank you to Dr. Chang, Vivian and the rest of the team for their exceptional care and guidance. If you're in search of natural pain management and a genuinely effective physical therapy experience, check out Holisticare! read more

The lovely hostess Jackie will also help out, if needed. Dr. Morgan is gentle and patient if, you are an elder person. Michael is awesome helping you fix your form, posture and technique. Carlos is the same and fantastic with aftercare. A good massage to end your session. They will also give lessons what to do at home. Once again I thank each and everyone of you for helping me.

Vivian is an amazing physical therapist. I really appreciate her conscientious attitude and willingness to bring her knowledge into helping me heal and managing my body postpartum. read more

Vivian and team were very kind and effective in teaching me the exercises I needed for my shoulder pain. Swimming once again painless. read more

I was experiencing pain in both my hip and shoulder while training at the gym. I'd been trying to work around it but the pain persisted. I looked around for physical therapists and decided on Holisticare because of their unique approach that combines both eastern and western techniques. After the initial consultation, Dr. Chang was able to diagnose my specific issues. I really appreciated his honesty while explaining to me my options for treatment. He told me straight up that my hip issue was most likely due to a genetic factor and even with some recommended stretches and exercises the likelihood of improvement was minimal. My shoulder on the other hand was completely treatable and he reassured me that with proper care it would have its mobility restored. Dr. Chang created a profile for me and my recovery. All the exercises and stretches are stored online so it was really easy to access them outside of the office. They come with video demonstrations so you don't have to stress about remembering every detail during the visit. It made the treatment process really easy and convenient for me. Several weeks of treatment have passed and my shoulder is back up to 90% mobility and with further care it'll be back to normal. I continued with Dr. Chang's recommendations for rehabbing my hip and am happy to say that the pain at the gym I used to experience is almost completely gone. I appreciate the help and guidance Dr. Chang and the staff have shown me. I'd highly recommend their practice. read more

Dr. Jason Chang & team are absolutely the best! The level of care and personalized treatment is excellent. They have state of the art equipment & approach to healing w/ an online portal that clearly demonstrates the personalized treatment plan. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my healing journey. Thank you! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Chang and his team at HolistiCare Physical Therapy. He is extremely knowledgeable, takes time to listen to patient concerns, and really understands the human body. I saw Dr. Chang for chronic pain in my neck and left knee. He saw several things related to my posture, alignment and exercise mechanics that were actually contributing to my pain. Over five weeks, he and his team taught me proper alignment and mechanics and provided various stretching and weightlifting exercises that significantly improved my posture, strength and flexibility and reduced my pain. They also performed Chinese cupping, deep tissue massage, and gua sha, which provided further pain relief. Dr. Chang really took the time to get to know me and the activities that are important to me. I'm an avid golfer and he asked me to bring a golf club to one session to evaluate my form and body mechanics during my swing. He recommended a few tweaks, which have reduced the pain in my body and have also improved my ball striking. With the knowledge and increased body awareness I've gained, I feel empowered to take care of myself. I used to believe my days of playing golf and running were over, but Dr. Chang has taught me how to manage my pain with home exercises and get back to enjoying the activities I love. I highly recommend HolistiCare Physical Therapy and am grateful for Dr. Chang and his team. read more

Dr. Jason Chang is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with. I began doing physical therapy with him 3 years ago after a car accident which left me with bad neck pain. I also have bulging discs on multiple levels, which left me in constant pain before I started going to Dr. Chang. He focuses on building strength to support the joints, which was the catalyst for diminishing my pain. When I first went to Dr. Chang, I had sciatica and and sacroiliac pain. He crafted exercises during our sessions that helped me build the necessary strength to support my SI joints and vertebrae, while teaching technique to prevent further pain or strain. In the past, I have felt frustrated by other physical therapy appointments because the exercises don't seem to help or are boring. However, Dr. Chang's physical therapy and work out routines are at just the right level to keep me engaged, pain-free, and strong. He has a multifaceted approach, and integrates several types of exercises and workouts using body weight as well as state of the art equipment. His customized approach to physical therapy helped me to target my needs. He is extremely personable and professional, and is highly skilled. For the first time in a decade I was pain free after working with Dr. Chang for only a month. I would highly recommend him to high performance athletes, those with chronic pain, people with injuries, and those who want to transform their body so it functions at its optimal level. read more

I was having neck and back problems after a fall and decided to go to Holisticare based on the information I found on their website. They use a combination of eastern and western medicine in their practice. Dr. Chang and Carlo were great! Within a few weeks my neck was practically back to normal and is now feeling great. We then started therapy on my lower back and it started to get better after receiving a few treatments from them as well. Covid 19 got worse and the numbers started to skyrocket so I decided to postpone treatment until Hawaii's new cases dropped. While I was at home I continued the exercises and stretches they showed me and within a few more weeks my back was back to how it was before my accident. I've been to numerous physical therapy places during my lifetime and most of them do the same thing; treat only the injured area. Holisticare treats both sides of the body and not only the injured area. They also showed me different stretches and exercises I have never done before at other physical therapy places. I would definitely recommend Holisticare for all of your physical therapy needs. read more

Dr. Chang and his staff are top notch. I went there for a shoulder pain had for over 6 weeks. After the initial consultation, Dr. Chang knew precisely what my problem was and after several sessions, I was back to normal. I have continued to use the stretching exercises as a normal routine now on both sides and I feel much better. Just stick to exactly what he says and trust his methods, you will be fine. Mahalo! read more

I started seeing Dr. Chang at HolistiCare for a bulging disc in my lower back - an entirely new and painful experience for me. I was quickly clear how knowledgeable, professional, courteous and collaborative Dr. Chang is. We incorporated Pilates reformer work, floor work and TRX exercises. I was thrilled with the results. Shortly after seeing Dr. Chang for my back, I required post-op physical therapy for an unrelated shoulder injury. I had a SLAP tear repaired and insisted that my surgeon allow me to see Dr. Chang for my recovery needs. Again, I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism, as was my surgeon. During both experiences Dr. Chang was able to discuss my current status, the approach we would take to make improvements, and how we would execute each stage. Additionally, he would explain the benefits of each exercise that was added to my recovery routine. Yet again I find myself in need of some PT help, but I moved off island a few months ago - still Dr. Chang has been a trusted resource offering me insight on how to search for a PT in my new city (what types of degrees to look for, seek providers who have taken the time and energy to achieve additional education and training). I highly recommend Dr. Chang. read more

After 5 months, 3 chiropractors, 16 visits, my pain started from right scapula, to lower back, then carpal tunnel, and escalated to a point where doing the simplest thing, like holding a pen, beating an egg, became cumbersome and challenging. With fear that it'd become chronic, I went to see my physician - he recommended physical therapy with Dr. Chang. His clinic has open space and private rooms, all clutter free (if you have clutter-phobia and prefer a quiet and neat area). His manners are super modest, professional and efficient, meaning no nosy questions, no perfunctory responses, no irrelevant chitchatting, no sales pitch. He's all about educating me to know my body, understand my pain and address it properly. Dr. Chang's treatments are different from what I would expect: he measures, most importantly he takes notes, and he remembers (Unlike the chiropractors I saw - who needed me to fill out the forms and Q&As so that they would never follow up on my progress. The mundane routine of cracking my spine made me cringe. They asked me to visit regularly by selling the idea that my body needs regular maintenance just like an old car does. Make no mistake. A real doctor will treat you in the correct way so that you don't rely on them to feel better. End rant.) Dr. Chang treated me the way I deserve from a true professional - he measures and keeps track of my progress. Not to provide any spoiler-alert questions that Dr. Chang would ask a patient before the treatment starts - his discerning questions regarding my history and lifestyle raised awareness in what I've been doing and whether I should keep doing it. Each visit is an hour long and divided between treatment and exercise. Not only my pain was reduced to a manageable level, but Dr. Chang also identified the cause of my carpal tunnel syndrome and curated a set of exercises to help. These are exercises that actually teach me to manage and understand my pain and eventually become my go-to quickie workout. My swollen fingers went back to normal after 2 weeks and neck regained normal range of motion after 3 weeks. I was totally wowed by my own progress. Dr. Chang successfully unraveled pains and numbness layered overtime in different areas. I was never expected that I could be that much closer to a pain-freeish life! Not that I'd wish pain on everybody so that you can give it a try. But if you need an expert who is educated enough in physical therapy yet acknowledges and respects the power of the holistic world, and if you don't want to repeat prescriptions or chiropractor visits until you need more, I highly recommend Dr. Chang. His treatment has been tried and tested!!! read more

My right knee was hurting for about 3-4 weeks to the point that the simple act of getting up was painful. After trying massage therapy and chiropractic modality, I was referred to see Jason for physical therapy. I came to him in pain, limping while I walked. He started our session with having me do stretches at first and also incorporated several other techniques to help loosen the tight muscles. Gradually as the weeks went by, the pain started lessening and I started to be able to do the things I used to take for granted like getting up from a sitting position without wincing or going up and down the stairs without pain. I'm back to 95% function from my baseline and I was recently discharged from his care. I can't thank him enough for getting me. He is very knowledgeable about his profession The office is easy to get to and there is parking available. He is prompt and accommodated my schedule. The staff is friendly as well and made the sessions go by really quickly. Thank you Holisticare! read more

I've been seen Dr. Jason Chang at HolistiCare Physical Therapy for three sessions for different problems. I'm very happy and satisfied with their services. Dr. Chang and his assistants are very nice and like a family, which made me feel warm and relaxing. I didn't feel much improvement at the very beginning, but as I went there more and practiced more and it definitely made a difference. Just need to be patient due to the nature of physical therapy. My wrist pain gets much better after one month. Highly recommended!! read more

I went to HolistiCare Physical Therapy due to chronic pain behind my right shoulder blade that kept me up at night. The pain and sleepless nights lasted for years. It was sub-optimal to say the least. During my consultation visit with Dr. Chang, he measured my joint flexibility and alignment. Within the first five minutes, he informed me that my shoulder may not be the problem at all and that the problem may be caused by a spinal misalignment in my upper spine/neck area. "Have you gone to a chiropractor before? No? Would you like to try an adjustment?" I proceeded to lay on my side as his weight jolted my back. First.. Crack. Second.. Oww. Then.. Instant relief! I was completely pain free for two weeks and my right shoulder was visibly lower than before. The tightness eventually sneaked back, but Dr. Chang taught me stretching techniques to expand my range of motion and to lower the tension in my chest that caused my rhomboid muscles to be overworked and tight. In addition to stretching, the physical therapy assistant, Sierra, did an excellent job of relaxing the muscles through a combination of deep tissue and gua sha (massage with something like a spatula). I was so sold on their techniques that I even tried cupping... A bit too painful for my tastes, and I no longer like cephalopods. After five one-hour sessions, my pain has lowered by half and my neck flexibility has increased by about 20-30%. I am very happy with the results, and I can honestly say that I really enjoyed each session. The people at Holisticare PT were knowledgeable, professional, and very friendly. I won't miss the pain, but I'll miss going to physical therapy! --------- Edit: They have moved to a new facility located at 1350 S. King St. on the third floor. The parking is underneath the building and there's plenty of it. It's very spacious, clean, and has good privacy. read more

At first, I was skeptical going to Holisticare with such few ratings but when I arrived, there was ample parking with a dedicated parking lot, which is very convenient for Kakaako. It seemed a little strange to go into the Body and Balance Fitness studio but, once I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the owner and primary physical therapist, Dr. Jason Chang. There was no wait time and I was quickly brought to the back to discuss my ailment (medial epicondylitis or "Golfers elbow"). He was very knowledgable on my disorder and was quick to offer different types of modalities. I deferred to Dr. Chang's expertise to decide what would be best for my elbow and how to quickly get me back on the golf course. He patiently explained the exercises and modalities he used and it made a lot of sense. I quickly recovered with less than a month of physical therapy from Dr. Chang. I highly recommend going to him for any physical ailment. I will definitely request my doctor refer me back to him for any physical therapy needs! read more

I injured my left shoulder in April while I was hiking which greatly prevented me from being able to participate in outdoor activities that I have an extreme passion for. I began PT with Dr. Chang and Holly in June, and with weekly Deep Tissue Massage, Jobe exercises, weight training, and stretches, I now have a much wider range of motion in my shoulder that has allowed me to reintroduce biking, swimming, paddling, and hiking back into my daily routines. I highly recommend HolistiCare to anyone looking for a natural approach to injury rehabilitation without taking medications or having invasive surgery performed. Thank You Dr. Jason and Holly!!! read more

All the five star reviews are well deserved. As an active person I'm no stranger to physical therapy and I can say all the staff at Holisticare are excellent. It's an individualized approach, whether for injuries or post-op recovery which I found to be more thorough than at other places. They also offer a yoga class and private training for a reasonable rate following the insured treatment. In other words everyone's needs are met. read more

I can understand that insurance can be complicated due to various plans and different benefit level. Front desk staff could have easily mention that she does not know and need to research it. Instead, she said "oh $45... oh maybe $35." I asked her to verify the amount of copayment and obviously she was too busy to bother. I looked it up and it clearly state that copayment is $25. Nothing against Dr. Chang, but your front desk staff is usually your customers first interaction. First impressions can become last impressions if you're not careful. read more

Dr. Jason Chang & Ciera both got me back walking much sooner than I thought I would. Their combination of exercises, stretching movements, and therapy massages was short of a miracle. ( they use this suction cup device that completely relieve my pain after a few treatments. My orthopedic surgeon told me it is because it increased the bolood flow in that specific area.) They had me doing specific exercises, (targeting problem areas( that I would never think of doing myself. They also take the time to explain every process throughly. That really helped me on my road to recovery. Additionally the office atmosphere is very comfortable and inviting. In the very beginning when I was on crutches June ( receptionist) would literally run to the door to open it for me every time I left. If you need physical therapy Holistic is the place to go read more

I had lower back pain... After Dr. Chang provided me with his diagnose, preventive care and a magic "corset", I stopped doing certain posture that potentially caused the pain and I started to do exercise that he suggested to ease the pain on a routine basis, my lower back pain felt greatly reduced! I highly recommend Dr. Chang! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Chang and his staff. He has been treating me for a shoulder issue and it has been a great experience. Dr. Chang uses many different treatment methods to help his patients. It is a much more thorough approach than just standard exercises. He and his assistant, Sierra, are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They customized a thorough treatment plan for me that included exercises, stretches, massage, cupping, etc. that have made a huge difference. I have really noticed significant improvements. I would highly recommend Holisticare to anyone needing physical therapy - I guarantee you will be very impressed with them. read more
