Orthopedic Rehabilitation Spec

I highly recommend Taylor Lau who is an outstanding physical therapist at Orthopedic Rehabilitation Specialists (ORS), for anyone dealing with knee pain or needing physical therapy to improve their mobility. I struggled with osteoarthritis-related knee pain earlier this year and upon my doctor’s recommendation, I found Taylor Lau who quickly developed and expertly guided me through an extremely effective treatment plan. He is a consummate professional who is very personable and encouraging, always assessing my progress and adjusting the exercises/therapy recommendations accordingly. Within just a few sessions, I noticed significant improvement and am now much stronger, pain-free and happily able to get back to my normal routine, including international traveling. I honestly could not have asked for a better physical therapist!

My son came home unexpectedly this summer because he injured his shoulder while playing summer baseball on the mainland. Taylor Lau, DPT adjusted his busy schedule so he could see my son on such short notice. After a thorough exam, he gave very detailed exercises to do. My son felt immediate improvement and will continue to do the stretching exercises so he can continue to play collegiate baseball!

Dr. Taylor Lau was super helpful with the rehabilitation of my arm and wrist after I had broken both. My condition improved significantly after sessions and exercises, so I am really thankful for his considerate and kind care. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for physical therapy or ortho rehab.

Dr. Taylor Lau was extremely helpful with my shoulder tightness, and after supplementing my workouts with his exercises and consistently doing the stretches, I will soon be hitting new PRs! He opened my eyes to huge gaps in my training and I learned that being more holistic and emphasizing recovery not only eliminated my pain, but also helps me get stronger. Thanks ORS!

I gave Taylor five stars because I am extremely happy with the results of the therapy Taylor provided me. All of the physical complaints I had are either gone or significantly reduced and I am amazed at how quickly I started to feel better. I found working with Taylor very easy and very pleasant. My primary concern was I felt a knot in my muscle in my lower back. The knot seems to have been there for maybe four or five years and did not feel like is was be going away with the passage of time. After treatment I do not feel the knot in my back. Other concerns: • I felt hunched over and I could not stand up straight. After my first two therapy sessions (consisting of lower body stretching exercises ) I felt that I was able to stand up straighter and my core (lower back and around to my belly) felt significantly more stable. • I could not stand on one leg, (left side leg or right side leg). After therapy I am able to perform (although unsteadily) the one leg exercise Taylor taught me to correct this problem. • I had to twist, turn, and bend very carefully at my waist because I felt that I would hurt something in my lower back from if I performed these motions quickly. After therapy I can quickly twist, turn, and bend at my waist without feeling that I would hurt something in my lower back. • I was not able to run or hop up and down because I felt that I would hurt something in my lower back from the shock of my feet hitting the ground. After therapy I can run, and hop up and down without feeling that I would hurt something in my lower back. • I difficulty reaching my shoelaces to tie them when sitting on the floor. After therapy I am able to sit on the floor and tie my shoe laces. • Trimming my toe nails was very difficult because it was very difficult to reach my toe nails. After therapy, I can reach of my toe nails and cut my toe nails. • I had difficulty breathing through my nose. Taylor taught me how to breath through my nose. Other discussions: • I slouch in the chair when using the computer. Taylor taught me how to sit at the computer, that the computer display screed should be set at eye level, and that I should not look down to read the screen of the computer display • I spend 10 to 12 hours a day sitting at the computer. Taylor told me not to spend so much time at the computer, but to spend the time to do the exercises he taught me, and walk one hour per day. • I sleep on the floor because I watch television sitting on my living room floor and fall asleep watching television. Taylor told me to sleep on my bed. End.

My experience has been very positive. Taylor Lau is expremely patient and takes the time to explain everything. The treatment and exercises he provided helped to cure my tendinitis and I'm sure will prevent a recurrence. Thank you. Steve Higuchi

Dr. Taylor Lau is a fantastic physical therapist who truly went above and beyond to address my discomfort and back pain. One of the things that impressed me most about Dr. Lau was his dedication to personalized care. He listened to my discomfort I was experiencing in my back and slight scoliosis area. After a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Lau developed a tailored treatment plan that was specifically designed to address my symptoms and improve my overall well-being. He taught me a variety of stretches and exercises that I could incorporate into my daily routine to expedite my recovery process. What truly sets Dr. Lau apart is his ability to educate and empower his patients. He took the time to explain the underlying mechanics of my discomfort and back pain in a way that was easy to understand, and he patiently guided me through each exercise, ensuring that I performed them with proper form and technique. I not only experienced significant relief from my symptoms but also gained a deeper understanding of how to prevent future issues. Thank you Dr. Lau at Orthopedic Rehabilitation Specialists!

For 7 months I could not move my shoulder properly, but after 2 months of therapy with Taylor I am nearly 100% cured. Taylor was very informative and answered any questions I had during my recovery process. Ann, the receptionist, was very friendly and helpful when scheduling my sessions. As a bonus, the office is located near Don Quijote, making it convenient to get my grocery shopping done.
