Breakthrough Rehab, Inc.

Bert - just an excellent guy, knows what he's doing and helped me out greatly with my knees and shoulders. Impressed by his professionalism and demeanor. Can't ask for much better for a physical therapist.

Bert is awesome.... I could not believe the change that occurred in 2-3 weeks. Would recommend.

I had carpal tunnel releases on both wrists and a Left middle finger release. The surgery scars are right on my palm area and are irritated daily when I use my keyboard or mouse.Mari the Occupational Therapist has been helping me with my after surgery care. I was having a difficult time improving under the Hospital Therapist outpatient care. They did not work very long on my scar adhesions under my skin, which are very hard. Mari got the scar adhesions to soften The adhesions still have not completely soften but they have gotten smaller in size. As the adhesions soften the other issues of nerve sensitivity and pain began to appear. She has worked on them and the pain is slowly going away and my hands are getting better finally. She answers my concerns, with satisfactory probable issues, that I may have. She helped me with a fractured wrist about 2 years ago. I regret not going to her initially for my care. I think I would be back to work by now.I have a few issues that need accommodations at work, by no fault of hers. She is helping me with aids for those issues.My skin is very sensitive. I develop itchy heat rashes and allergist reactions to regular splints and braces.She now has the ability to provide finger splints from Silver Ring Splints. Here is the link: silverringsplint.comShe is great!

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.
