I have been coming to Kailua Physical Therapy for the past few weeks in preparation for a total knee replacement and my experience has been outstanding. . Janet and Chris are both EXCELLENT therapists- knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely caring. Over the past 15 years, I've been to 3 other physical therapy clinics, and I can honestly say the quality of care varies greatly. At some clinics, patients were double-booked and left to do exercises on their own, sometimes without knowing whether they were performing them correctly. At one clinic, I even had a therapist spend part of our scheduled session watching TV. At Kailua Physical Therapy, the experience has been completely different. The therapists provide personalized attention and make sure exercises are done correctly and safely. The entire staff creates a warm, supportive environment that makes you feel comfortable and confident in your recovery. I highly recommend them. read more

I have been coming to Kailua Physical Therapy for about 6 weeks now. I have been through physical therapy many times due to injuries I sustained in the Marine Corps...this place is BY FAR the most experienced, knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly! Abigail is EXCELLENT!!! I have dealt with neck pain, bulging discs, tears, degenerative disc disease, etc. for 8 years. It progressed into severe pain and almost constant numbness down my arm. After 3 sessions that numbness went away! She is incredibly helpful and adapts very quickly offering various education, exercises, stretches, etc. to ensure I am comfortable. She truly is a lifesaver! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Abigail! Also to note, the assistants are so friendly and helpful with appointment reminders and the traction setups they do for me! 100 stars! read more

I'm so very happy I went to Kailua Physical Therapy, my experience was awsome , Janet was very personable and professional, and the staff was so very nice. Would recommend them to anyone. Shane S. read more

Ultimate professionals with a warm, caring team dedicated to serving. Targeted physical therapy to knee and back worked wonders and provided much needed pain relief. Recommend this exceptional team to all. read more

Mark and gang very professional, always clean with sanitized equipment and massage tables. No long waiting with appointment.

An absolute favorite. Best experienced therapists, really personal and professional. From start to finish, you'll receive in depth medical therapy. I've tried others, where you would get basic level treatment, not much better than online therapy. Your first visit will be a thorough review, measurements, discussion, etc. regarding your injury. Then the workout begins with each method that is best for you. You'll receive ultrasound therapy, if needed, tens therapy, massage therapy, plus ice therapy to lessen pain and swelling at the end. Reminds me of spa treatments. My injuries were severe breaking of several bones, very painful and takes 6 months to heal and recuperate. So, believe me, I really needed excellent therapy just so I could walk again. Healing bones only took 3 1/2 months, it's the painful after effect of internal damage being retrained to function properly that'll drive you bonkers. It felt like it'll never end. This business is not like these new gym style ones which are the same as going to a standard gym. Very little individual therapist interaction. Been there, done that, and left, never to return. Just FYI. read more

Tracey has been excellent in helping me heal a walking and hiking strain on my knee. She is knowledgeable and her expertise has me on a good track to heal. Bedside manner and patience is to be commended. read more

I've been to many Physical Therapy Clinics but nothing beats Kailua Physical Therapy. I've been going here for a year and a half now (and still going after 2 knee surgeries and will continue to go here after I have 2 other surgeries to do). The clinic makes you feel at comfort and they treat you like you're family. Each and every staff here are caring, compassionate, and courteous. And besides the friendly atmosphere, the staff takes good care of you and works to help you with whatever your regimen in treatment is. Janet is the main physical therapist I go to and I can't put into words of how awesome she is at what she does. Janet has the experience, the knowledge, and the physiology that makes her such an amazing physical therapist. Along with her expertise, she cares a lot on your progress and working to getting you better. Not only I come here for therapy but I have family members too. That's how I heard about Kailua Physical Therapy. There's no other person or place I'd rather be for my therapy. I would recommend everyone and anyone to this clinic. read more

I told my friend about how I was being treated at another PT office- she immediately said to SWITCH and go to Kailua PT. I'm beyond happy that I did! One problem I had at the "otherPT" was their immediate judgmental comments & funny faces they'd make. Like I don't have ears or eyes?!....clinic is very intimidating, like the cold-modern-feel, therapist are condescending and mocked you when you couldn't do it. And use college interns to treat you. At KAilua PT, it's not a "state of the art" clinic, but it's more of a homey feel. And the therapist are just as friendly and helpful! They are the best!!!! They LISTEN! I've explained my sciatica at least 20 times to the "other pt" - who refused to believe and said I pulled a muscle, it's in my mind, & i should lose weight. They're respectful. They know when to give you a push, but don't put you on blast when you can't do it. They do progress reports & goals , which I like so I know what works and what doesn't. Even asking about life goals which was nice to hear, when I actually accomplished 2/3! Parkings been easy, if ur blocked the gals in the front with get it moved. scheduling is also easy. We have 5 kids, with school coming up n activities-so they're way easier to schedule than my PCP. And NO College INTERNS "practicing" on you for credit!!!!! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Kailua Physical Therapy. Since 2007, I have had a few work injuries. Physical therapist and owner, Janet Barretta, is one of the most compassionate healers I've ever met. She has helped me recover through my debilitating injuries and has inspired me along the way. Her staff is also amazing. If you need physical therapy, this is the place for you to heal. read more

This review may be biased because i have only gone through physical therapy sessions at this place. However, I had a great experience here. The therapists were very knowledgeable and taught me so much about my own body and ways to manage the pain I was having in my back. I have since passed this knowledge on to others suffering from back pain. They have top of the line equipment. I was even hooked up to a machine that was able to pull my upper and lower body apart to relieve pressure on my discs. Also, the machine that delivers electricity (can't remember what it's called) I absolutely loved and would buy one in a heart beat. The key to your therapy is making the life style changes necessary and becoming more physically fit. read more

Janet is the gold standard for a physical therapist. Her knowledge of anatomy and physiology of the body is daunting. She is so professional, friendly and caring. The staff is fantastic. From the moment you walk in, you are treated with kindness and compassion. I have had 3 months of therapy for an injury, I have shown much improvement,Janet has given me the tools to continue on at home. I would highly recommend this business to anyone that needs long term PT. read more

This is the Best place to have physical therapy done at!! All other places I've been to treat you like a number, no one on one care, no massage. I've been improving for the 1st time!! Employees are awesome, especially Janet, she has the Magic touch! I've advised my Dr.'s to send patients here. When I've completed my therapy I will definitely come to have massages done here, worth every penny. Very caring, they even have evening hours . They accommodate you to your schedule (mine is quite hectic). Not a fancy place, but Quality & the best employees here, give it a try! Take it from me as I've been to many PT offices & would dread when my Dr. would prescribe PT. This is the Best PT service I've ever had!! * Happy Patient :) read more

I have had physical Therapy numerous times. I really liked the treatment I received from everyone at Kailua Physical Therapy. The only problem I've had is their method of getting your treatment reapproved by your insurance company. Most physical therapists will start this process a week before you're number of paid insurance visits run out so that you don't have a break in therapy. Kailua Physical Therapy waits until your last treatment so you always have a break in therapy. This wouldn't be so bad if the break were only a week. I'm not sure why they asked for treatment on my left shoulder and not my right shoulder, but my insurance company only gave them a very limited number because that shoulder is better. I'm not sure why they haven't talked to me about it. I know why I haven't reached out. It's been 2 months and the pain is gone and I have almost full range of motion back. I did it on my own. That's why you don't want a break in treatment. Or maybe we do. read more

Hands down best shoulder therapy yet. I had excruciating pain in my right shoulder for 10+ years to the point of contemplating surgery. Moreover, I'm in the construction industry and the extensive labor just makes its worse. I realized my shoulder needed medical attention. I Reached out to my PCP who then put me through physical therapy numerous times at multiple locations. And I either felt like I was in boot camp or didn't see any progress at all. But its a miracle after just 7 visits with Kailua Physical Therapy. I now have almost a full range of motion back and way less pain in my right shoulder. Therapist there are awesome and definitely take pride in the care they give. read more

I've been a competitive age-group multi-sport athlete (at the national and world level) for almost sixty years and have had to undergo dozens of rehabs. The practitioners at Kailua PT Clinic are as good as any I have ever had treatment from. After my rotor cuff and ac joint surgery I had almost full range of motion after 2 months, could swim freestyle (easy strokes) and could do chin ups at that point as well. I saw three of the PTs, all were excellent. Most of my rehab was by Tracey. My surgeon said I was the fastest healer he had ever treated. Some of that was certainly due to the excellent rehab I received. read more

I have been seeing Janet Barretta, at Kailua Physical Therapy, on and off for years with my different issues ~ knee, lower back, shoulder pain. She is the BEST in town. Janet's entire staff is top notch from Eva, the receptionist, to Laura, Rena, and Mandy who assist with patient care. Its a good feeling to walk away without pain. Mahalo. read more

Janet is one of the most caring and dedicated health care professionals that I've ever encounter. She has a deep passion for her work and genuine love for her patients and staff. The staff there are like an Ohana and exudes love and harmony throughout the office which enhances the healing process both spiritually and physically. Janet and her staff goes out of their way to make sure patient needs are met. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone in need of massage or physical therapy. read more

I've have been to several physical therapy clinics on the Windward side throughout the years and found Kailua Physical Therapy outstanding. First of all you get an actual seasoned licensed physical therapist your entire appointment. Other places I've been too you touch bases with a PT then get a student. Secondly, there's privacy for your appointment. There are sectioned rooms where you meet with your PT. Thirdly, AFTER my hour appointment with the licensed PT, I received ultrasound, stim, and ice. (This was from Chris a PT major who is very professional and attentive). At the other places this was included in the hour. Overall I found Kailua Physical Therapy warm, professional, and comfortable. The clinicians are experienced and really attentive to my care. I came in to the clinic barely walking and in extreme pain in my knees and back. Janet was wonderful. She worked with me twice a week and advocated for me, and now no crutches and almost pain free! read more

If you are looking for a fancy expensive physical therapy clinic, keep walking. If you want no frills, excellent service and care then this is the place for you! Wow. I had only been to the clinic once and they already know my name. You can really tell that they love what they do and take pride in the care that they give. My therapist has been with the clinic for 25 years and she is excellent!!! I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! No one has ever been able to help my back... till now. Janet is a lifesaver. Her employees are wonderful, so helpful and so sweet. I literally look forward to seeing Janet every week. They also offer massages so when your PT is finished you can keep coming back for amazing massages. I can't thank Janet enough for all of her expertise, hard work and amazing massages. I would never go anywhere else. I love them! read more

Janet at Kailua Physical Therapy is the best therapist who has ever treated me. She really cares and has helped me so much. She has given me simple exercises to do in the clinic and at home and has demonstrated how to do therm. Everyone in the clinic is very pleasant and caring and has made me feel comfortable. I rate this clinic A plus. read more

I have been visiting KPT on and off for at least 10 + years and have since recruited my mother, sister & soon my daughter. Like myself they have revisited numerous times over the years due to their wisdom, sensitivity and caring staff. Over 40 years of multiple whiplash has lead to pinch nerve, accompanied by numbness & pain. Their experience & knowledge is always about learning & working with techniques that not only alleviates/fixes my conditions...but includes maintenance and education, leading to less bouts of required visits to KPT. If you value your quality of life, Janet and staff are the best at giving you the above mentioned. read more

I wrote a review earlier for Kailua Physical Therapy and Janet but maybe my star rating doesn't show up?? Anyway, here it is... 5 stars... terrific place for massage and physical therapy. Please read my other review. read more

I was referred to Kailua Physical Therapy Clinic by my orthopedic doctor for rehab on an injured knee and lower back pain. My therapists (Janet, Stephanie & Gaye) were incredible and the tech staff is attentive and friendly. The therapists had me strengthening and stretching for my injury and in very little time my knee and back were better and stronger than before. Bottom line is that they are very knowledgeable people that are excellent at what they do. Recommend unconditionally. read more

These guys know what they are doing. Janel has been in the same bldg for over 30 years. i have been there many times over the years, i live in kailua. I have also had a very favorable experience in honolulu at action rehab, but i dont like driving 20 miles after gong thru PT, so i find janet and staff to be as good in every way. both are hands on and are expert licensed LMT and PT both. They believe in massage beeing an effective part of rehab and they massage everyone everytime as part of the regimen. they also have no problem using ultrasonic and E-stim which most PT places are lazy and only do exercises. i have used fukuji and lum in kailua, they are not anywhere near as good as kailua pt. michael mccarthy is a good therapist, he knows his stuff, and i would prefer kailua pt overall because i do like the massage and ultrasonic and E-stim in addition to the exercises. janet is a superb therapist, no issues with her experience at all and her bedside manner is awesome. read more
