Our Story

About Ola

At the heart of Ola Rehab is Eric Torres, a licensed physical therapist with over 15 years of experience across both inpatient and outpatient settings on Oahu. Over the years, Eric has had the privilege of working with a diverse range of patients, helping them recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and improve overall health. Eric is known for his compassionate communication, active listening, and a patient-centered approach to therapy. He believes that every person’s recovery journey is unique and should be tailored to meet their specific needs—whether that’s in the clinic, their home, or out in the world where life happens.

After more than a decade of advocating for Hawaii’s people, both as a therapist and an administrator, Eric recognized the gaps in the healthcare system that often prevent patients from receiving the one-on-one attention they need to heal. That’s why Ola Rehab was created—to offer a more personalized, holistic approach to recovery. Our practice focuses on the individual as a whole, addressing not just the injury but the roles people play in their daily lives. Sometimes, that means thinking outside the box—holding therapy sessions outdoors, in the water, at your workplace, or even in your home. Ola Rehab is built around the idea that recovery should be a collaborative journey, where you are a part of the team, and we work together to help you thrive.
