But after seeing a friend's post about Dr. Khauv, I booked the $29 intro special and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was welcoming and genuine--no high-pressure sales, just real care. The consultation was thorough, he explained everything clearly without jargon, and then the adjustment itself? Game changer. I felt an immediate release in my lower back that I haven't had in ages, and my shoulders actually dropped like someone lifted a weight off them. Toni's hour-long massage beforehand was the perfect warm-up--deep, focused, and exactly where I needed it. I left standing taller, moving easier, and smiling like an idiot. What really sealed it for me though is that this is a non-profit setup--Dr. Khauv and his team are truly in it to help people, not just fill pockets, and you can feel that energy. Affordable, effective, compassionate care. Five stars aren't enough--highly recommend to anyone who's tired of pain holding them back. Thank you, Dr. Khauv!

Found him through a Groupon deal and I'm so glad. He was super accommodating with the scheduling, very responsive, and does some really good back cracks.

In 2014, my husband had a bad fall during one of his basketball games and resulted to him having…read moreACL in his left knee. For him to be able to perform rigorous physical activities again, he needed to undergo minor surgery and a minimum of six months of therapy for his knees. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Odulio holds clinic at the Philippine Orthopedic Institute in Makati. The use of Philippine in the name made me think that they were connected to the government, but they are actually a group of orthopedic specialists holding private practice in the country. And though they just occupy two floors in a small building in the city, the place has merits. The lobby is elegant and spacious; they have complete facilities like an x-ray room, examination room and clinics for the doctors, and a whole floor dedicated to rehabilitation and therapy. The staff were very accommodating. Ms. Lauren, Dr. Odulio's secretary is very approachable and promptly responds to calls or text messages. The physical therapists were patient and skillful enough to train my husband and motivate him every time he goes to therapy. Hubby's knees have recovered and he's playing basketball again. And despite his busy schedule, he squeezes in a visit to POI once in a while to see his doctor and thanks his therapists there.

But the travel time was taking its toll on him especially since he could not straighten his legs in the car that time. So we had to find a rehabilitation center that was near our place. We first went to this big hospital in Alabang, but aside from the fee being so steep, hubby did not like their service. They were contented with just giving him a few exercises, then strapping his knees to a machine for the remaining part of his session. So we ended up with Tokyo Healthlink, and hubby was really impressed. The place was quite small compared to other rehabilitation centers, but they had complete facilities and the physical therapists were really dedicated in helping their patients, pushing them to their limits. The fee they charge was also quite reasonable. If (knock on wood) you need to undergo physical therapy, I recommend this place in Alabang, and the proficient team of physical therapists there.

Message to the public. Karada is not a legitimate provider of Chiropractic care. Their therapists…read morereceive 2-3 weeks of training compared to the real chiropractors who train for 7 years in a university level post graduate course. As already posted to a yelp, it is shameful that they allow their posting under Chiropractors. We have many patients who are under proper and safe chiropractic care but who also receive Karada massage services. I appreciate that they can get a decent massage there as we both serve the public. However, it is a public misrepresentation to place Karada under the classification of chiropractors. They are not registered with the department of health like a chiropractor is. You can verify the legitimacy of my post as I am a US trained chiropractor and the CEO of Mabuhay Chiropractic Clinics, a Philippine corporation operating 16 clinic branches throughout the Philippines. Enjoy your massage but please, please do not put your spine and nerves at risk by letting them manipulate your spinal joints. They are not qualified, they do not X-ray the spine before that as we do. You can consider this is a public service message from a responsible professional of the chiropractic profession.

There were no seating area to sit while waiting in the lobby. Let me start by saying the experience we had with the doctors were excellent,no complaints there. The quality of care however from staff and nurses were horrible. Background this was my grandmas second stay at this hospital (which they should have learned their lesson the first time). My grandma was admitted going on 10 days now and she had developed bed sore twice(First one was from previous visit sometime last year which they had to have it cleaned and scraped even after they were discharged). Fast forward to present on the 4th day we noticed that she had a small sore starting which we brought to the doctor and assured us that he will make sure nurses/staff will turn grandma every 2 hours. NO ONE EVER CAME, maybe 2x out of the days did someone come to attamept to turn her. When the wound/sore started to get deep WE requested for wound nurse to asses, again nothing we had to keep asking. Finally they said to buy some ointment at the pharmacy Mercury and buy 4x4 and put on the wound. Still at this point NO ONE STILL cares to come and turn or help change her. Every time we asked for assistance they acted like we were bothering them. Lets just say sore is not better and still no urgency about it or one ever even looked at it. WE FAMILY are the onese doing the turning and cleaning. . What kind of hospital is that?To think they charge for everything and has this "expensive and suppose to one of the best hospital in Manila reputation" you would think they will try and be their best. But best believe they were very good at updating that medical bill every day. One time time the nurse said they were "short staff" and unable to help. I'm telling you if you have a family member admitted here and was suffering under thier care you would be upset. The sore was caused by thier negligence and no one even tried to make better. Worst service and care from a medical setting ever. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!

Years of bad posture, wearing high heels, sitting in front of a computer and now carrying a toddler…read moreevery where I go has apparently taken its toll on my back. I can't imagine how a 34-year-old could have constant shoulder pain and lower back pain. But it happens. I visited Karada to find out what exactly it was that they do. I've been curious about them since they opened a branch in Aguirre St in Makati. It doesn't look like a spa but they have "therapeutic treatments". The display near the lounge area was a hanging skeleton. The sign was a single word in English with the Japanese version underneath. Now who wouldn't be curious with just those clues? My sister tried it out first and gave me fair warning that the treatment was painful. If I was already hesitant to try them out before, now I am deathly afraid! When I talked to the person at the reception, he did confirm that there will be some amount of pain since it involved spine and pelvic realignment, but it is tolerable. So, I went in with my eyes closed, hoping for the best. I was asked to change into a plain black shirt and black sweatpants. Then I was directed to one of the cubicles with a white massage bed and low cubicle divisions. I was surprised that I wasn't asked to lie face down because the therapist came in with a clipboard. She started asking where my problem areas and my medical history. It felt more like a doctor's appointment than a massage session. Then she asked me to stretch my back, try to reach my toes and to lie face down on the bed to assess the flexibility of my spine. She then gives me an initial diagnosis -- one leg was a bit shorter than the other. Imagine my shock! Apparently the constant wearing of heels and crossing my legs had an effect on the length of my legs. Whoa! This is the coolest therapy I've ever had. She then proceeded to do the work. And that white bed isn't actually just an ordinary massage bed, it adjusts every which way to accommodate the different positions taken for the adjustment -- starting with the therapist pulling at my head and whipping it to the side so I heard a loud cracking noise. Man, I thought they were going to tear off my skull from my neck. Then the spine was adjusted and the pelvis, too. They even asked me to transfer to a drop bed that dropped down every time she pushed on a body part. As she was doing my adjustment, she was actually calling out her findings to the therapist beside her who was confirming in Japanese. Then a different guy came, crossed my arms across my body, put a rolled up towel on top and told me he'll put his body weigh on me. And I heard my spine crack in 5 or 6 different places. The experience was so surreal. This was followed by a massage that poked and prodded my back and pulled at my leg and arms for a good 20 minutes. This is by the guy who was previously being given the findings to during the spine adjustment. It was an other worldly experience which was painful during the actual process but it made me feel truly awesome after. The back pain was gone instantly as was the shoulder issue. I felt the need to sit up straight. So yeah, this is the kind of pain I welcome. Everyone who sits in front of a computer for hours (that means you!) should try this at least once in their life. I can't wait to go back and have another session.

Karada is a small chain of Japanese massage and chiropractic services throughout Asia which are…read moreAWESOME and necessary. Many people who come are tourists with bad pains like me, but also regulars who come every other week or two, which is always a good sign. On my first trip to the PI I had sat cramped uncomfortably in the aircraft cabin for a 13-hr flight. Shortly after, my neck started killing me and I brushed it off, even got a nice massage and included a neck and shoulders massage thrown in and afterwards it HURT so bad that I couldn't lie down without assistance. I Yelped Karada and found it easily, on the 2F of a building in BGC and walked in. They open at 11 but I came in around 2:25 pm and was seen at 2:30, five mins later after a drink of warm water. My masseuse seemed capable, and although at first not knowing what to expect I was going to opt for a "Japanese trained" masseuse, she started on me and the issue went away. After looking at my questionnaire I told her of my concerns about my neck and upper back and she went to town. I changed into a ridiculous black "one size only" comical outfit to preserve my modesty and she pirouetted my arms and legs in unusual positions to stretch my muscles out and get my body loose, and of course my neck. She moved the chair thing I was laying on up and down and kneaded out my knots capably. The process was incredibly painful given my condition but I have had knots for a long time so it was necessary and felt great afterward. Originally, I had gotten the 20 minute one, but then she changed my mind and I went for the 45 minute one. The only part about it which felt a tad unnecessary (but maybe it was necessary, I just didn't feel like it was) is the part where she had me go to the mechanical table, which was loud. But that was just ten minutes. Afterward, I was instructed to drink lots of warm water and it only cost me ~$22 USD! Highly recommend Karada, and I tipped my girl 100 PHP.
