The Forge for Athletes in Honolulu is a fantastic physical therapy clinic that feels more like a family reunion than a medical appointment. Dr. Jimmy Lin is a master at his craft--seriously, if there were a PhD in healing, he'd have it! He tailors programs specifically for your needs, ensuring you're not just another number in the system.The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff genuinely cares about your recovery. After my back surgery, I feel much more at ease. I have spoken with another patient who was there at the same time and she said that he was the only one she trusted and that she would fly over from another island to get a treatment from Dr. Jimmy. That speaks volumes. If you are serious about your recovery and health and are willing to put the time in then this is your spot.

Many of us tend to push through pain thinking, it'll get better..... one day. Days, weeks and months went by and the pain in my left knee got worse. It got to a point where I had trouble walking after sitting for long periods of time and I could barely do a squat. So I decided to check out The Forge.On my first visit, they went over my personal goals and did an assessment. The goals were necessary for me to visualize because it is the end goal in order for me to get better. I needed to heal completely and not have a temporary fix on my injury.On days where I would feel less pain, my heart wanted to jump back into doing the intense workouts next door. However, through their system, I was reminded that I must completely heal before I re-injure myself. I finished their program and also learned a lot of things about my physical limitations and health and ways to improve. I am able to walk and squat now with no pain in my left knee. I highly recommend coming to see the guys at The Forge for all your physical therapy needs, even the minor injuries..... it's always better to take care of the injury when it's small. They really show that they care about you.LOCATION: They are on the Makai side of Waimanu Street, Kokohead side off of Ward Ave. The backside of their office is F45 Ala Moana.PARKING: They are by appointment only, they have a few spots in front and there's always a spot because only their clients park in front. Free parking. SERVICE: The staff is amazing! They really show that they care about you. I felt comfortable there. I didn't feel like a client, I felt like family there.COST: Depends on your insurance and injury.... Best to inquire with them I highly recommend coming here... these guys know what they are doing.

Justin and Jimmy are amazing at what they do. They don't have a cookie cutter program like a lot of the other PT places that I've gone to. The programs are specific to you and your passions in life. They listen to you and help you accomplish your goals, both physically and mentally. It feels like I'm with family every time I see them. Mahalo for helping me on my journey to FREEDOM!

Justin and jimmy are no regular PTs. They take the time to get to know me and personalize my care and treatment to fit my lifestyle. They made me question and dig deep into my values and what I really wanted for my health and fitness to create a customized plan for me. I injured myself a month before the marathon and they gave me the plan and confidence to execute and I completed my first marathon in 7.5hrs!! They really care about each person coming into the clinic and it shows in the time they take to take care of me. Sometimes I had both of them working on me! I highly recommend these expert PTs for any injury!!

(The) Forge is my new favorite F word! I have had chronic neck and back pains for many years and just dealt with it because of my desk job. It turns out that you don't have to just deal with it and can recover from it. I came to The Forge for Athletes because the pain was starting to affect my workouts and activities like hiking and SUP. I started the AIM program and within a couple of weeks, I already saw huge improvements. The pain had lessened and my mobility and strength improved. Something that I've had to deal with for years improved in a matter of weeks. What I love about Jimmy and Justin's approach is that they cater to each client's needs by providing unique tools and advice that will set them up for success. They take the time to listen and understand what the clients are going through and guide them through every step of the way. The additional gym sessions also provide the space and accountability to help clients achieve their goals.If you're reading this review with bad posture, there's a high chance you may have the same chronic pains! Give them a call or email them for a free consultation. I'm so grateful to have been connected to these amazing PTs and what I now call friends...another favorite F word :).

You get more than just a workout you get like a family that really cares about you and will cure you at the same time.
