Physical Therapy in Wailea, Maui.
Concierge, in-home care for Wailea residents and long-stay guests who want expert attention that respects their time, whether that is getting back on the course at Wailea Golf Club, back on the tennis court, or back to full strength after surgery.
Expert care, brought to your door.
Island PT is based just north in Kīhei, a short drive from Wailea, and we come to you. Sessions happen in your home or resort residence, with the equipment brought along, so there is no clinic to travel to and no time lost sitting in a waiting room.
Every visit is one-to-one with Teddy Zabel, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopaedics. You are not handed off to an aide and you are not rushed. For patients in Wailea who are used to a certain standard of service, that is the point.
Wailea · South Maui
For the golf, the court, and the years ahead.
Wailea life is active in a particular way, mornings on the course at Wailea or Makena, afternoons on the tennis court, and a strong pull to stay independent and capable well into your later decades.
A lot of what we treat here comes from exactly that, low back and hip pain from the golf swing, rotator cuff and tennis elbow from the court, knees that protest after eighteen holes. We also work closely with residents recovering from total knee and hip replacements and other surgeries, and with anyone focused on keeping their balance, strength, and mobility as the years go on.
Because we take the time to find the root cause of the pain, the plan holds up, not just for the next round, but for the long run. For those who prefer it, virtual consultations are available as well.
Common reasons Wailea calls- Golf-related low back, hip, and shoulder pain
- Tennis elbow and rotator cuff pain
- Total knee and hip replacement recovery
- Balance, stability, and fall prevention
- Staying strong and independent with age
Care that respects your time.
Fewer, longer, higher-value visits, delivered on a schedule that works around your life.
Most people in Wailea are not looking for another standing weekly appointment that stretches on for months. They want a clinician who will actually diagnose the problem, explain it in plain language, and build a focused plan that finishes.
That is how Island PT is built, fewer, longer, higher-value visits designed to get real results, delivered in your home on a schedule that works around your life rather than interrupting it.
What that means in practice- A short drive from the clinic in Kīhei, care comes to you
- One-to-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, every visit
- Focused 6 to 8 week treatment plans designed to finish
- Virtual consultations available when travel is not ideal
Care from a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
Founder · DPT · OCS
Every visit in Wailea is one-to-one with Teddy Zabel, PT, DPT, OCS, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopaedics through the ABPTS. He earned his doctorate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is licensed in Hawaii (PT-4524).

That range is what lets him find the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.

Questions from Wailea.
Common questions from Wailea patients about concierge visits, golf and tennis injuries, and recovery.
Do you come to my home in Wailea?
Yes. Island PT is a concierge, in-home practice based just north in Kīhei, a short drive from Wailea. Teddy brings everything needed to your home or resort residence, so there is no clinic to travel to and no waiting room.
Can you help with golf and tennis injuries?
Yes. A lot of what we see in Wailea comes from golf and tennis, low backs, hips, rotator cuff, and tennis elbow. We look at your whole movement pattern, not just the painful joint, so the fix holds up round after round.
Do you handle post-surgical recovery?
Yes. We work with patients recovering from total knee and hip replacements and other procedures, guiding rehab step by step so you return to golf, tennis, and daily life on solid footing rather than rushing it.
Why cash-pay instead of insurance?
Cash-pay is what lets us give you long, unhurried, one-to-one visits without billing quotas dictating your care. For patients who value their time and want results in fewer visits, it tends to be the better investment. Our Why Cash-Pay page explains the model in full.
