Vivie Therapy

40+ years of sports from falling on skateboards, years of rugby and rock climbing in the Himalayas have left my wrist's and hands in pain, not to mention the 5 hours a day on the computer for the last 10 years. After one session with Vivian my pain was 75 percent relieved and i was on my way to some long-term relief. Vivian's great energy, attitude and knowledge are incomparable. Also her facility is inviting, high tech when needed and back to basics when those techniques work best. Thank you Vivian, I look forward to working with you keeping me pain free and my athletic career intact for the next 40 years! more

PTPT IS THE PLACE TO GO FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY! VIVIAN IS AN AMAZING THERAPIST AND SHE KNOWS THE BODY VERY WELL. A PLUS IS THAT SHE IS INCREDIBLY INSIGHTFUL AND IS NOT AFRAID TO SHARE HER INSIGHTS AS THEY RELATE TO ONE'S CONDITION. I CAME TO PTPT AFTER A SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT AND COULD NOT WALK VERY WELL AND WAS IN PAIN. I WAS CONSISTENT WITH MY THERAPY AND WITHIN A FEW SHORT WEEKS I BEGAN TO NOTICE HOW MUCH BETTER I WAS FEELING AND WALKING. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF SERIOUS THERAPY, I WAS CLOSE TO BEING BACK TO HOW MY BODY WAS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. HER OFFICE MANAGER, MARVIN, IS FANTASTIC! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PTPT TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS PHYSICAL THERAPY. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU CHOSE THIS EXCEPTIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY PLACE OF HEALING. Pros: GREAT, FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE more

When it comes to physical therapists some might call me an expert. \r \r I am a 24 years old former football player and in the last six years I have had four shoulder surgeries; the most recent of which was a partial replacement which will require PT roughly three times a week for the next year to a year and a half. \r \r Based on this time frame I was looking for not just a therapist, but a partner in recovery. Someone that was as committed to me reaching my goals as I was, and was willing to stand by my side through a long and rigorous recovery. \r \r After going to four different clinics I finally found exactly what I was looking for at PTPT. Vivian, the owner and my physical therapist, had the right kind of though love, determination and marvelous demeanor that not only made the therapy bearable but actually made it fun. \r \r I no longer find my self in the rhythmic grind of Dr.'s and therapists past. Instead I look forward to going to my appointments because I am not only going to be worked on by the best PT in Southern California but I am also going to see my friend.\r \r Vivian is a competent practitioner that will push you to your limit and work you to a sweat. Success is not an option, it is expected and achieved each and every time you walk through the door. Thank you for all you've done Vivian, and thanks in advance for all you will continue to do on my long road to recovery.\r Pros: Results, knowlege, unconventional and out of the box ideas that work Cons: Vivian isn't around all the time to make sure I do my homework more

When I came to PTPT over 4 years ago I was suffering from bad knees. Vivian teaches you how to do the basics of living, including walking, standing and sitting in a way that enforces wellness and balance. Her ability to know exactly what angle is off has helped me with both knees, my back, neck and shoulders. I not only feel better physically, but mentally I feel more focused and empowered with everything I do and I can stay active. The detox foot baths make me feel lighter and the whole body vibration tightens my body where age decided to loosen it. The massage therapists listen to what I need and know exactly how to fix whats ailing me. My husband now comes to PTPT when he needs treatment and my friends who noticed the change in me now get treated here as well. If you want to find the latest technology in body care, look no further then PTPT.\r Pros: You have a place to go and you can ask advice anytime Cons: There's only one Vivian more

I am completely sold on Physical Therapy after my session with Prevent the Pain Therapy. I am amazed at my recooperation after follow the exercises perscribed by PTPT. Vivian is highly skilled and really knows her business. Pros: Thumbs up more

I've been experiencing back pain since my car accident in 1996. It wasn't until I come to Vivian that I began to have relief. She makes the pain go away and offers tips and tricks to keep it at bay. She's passionate about her work and she has an amazing engergy; she truly wants to heal the hurt. I have referred her to a number of my friends who in turn have had amazing results. more

Before I found Vivian I tried everything to get rid of my sciatic pain. Nothing helped me for about 6 months, but after just a few weeks with PTPT I finally could run and feel relief from my pain. I couldn't believe it! Although she ""fixed"" me I still refuse to leave her because of the effect she has on me. I feel stronger, healthier, and more in charge of my body than ever before. There is so little we know about our bodies, and it is so easy to change it thanks to Vivian. I'm not only stronger and healthier, but also motivated to run my best on my favorite steeplechase...thanks Vivian! Pros: it actually works Cons: cant think of any more

I cannot rave about this woman enough! I was ready to have an injection into my spine to fix this horrific, annoying pain i had suffered with for 9 months. I had seen another physical therapist for 2 months and nothing was working. A doctor recommended I see Vivian at PTPT and so i tried her out. After my first visit, I was 90% better. The burning down my leg was almost completely gone. After my second visit, the pain was completely gone. She knows exactly where to focus on and picked up on things with my body that no one else has. Her clinic encompasses not only physical therapy and chiropractic, but pilates and massage therapy. She is truly a life saver! Pros: Multi-service clinic, comfortable surroundings more

Vivian is a lifesaver! Her meticulous attention to detail is the key to quick recovery, proper healing and developing the right muscles. Her belief in skeletal and muscular alignment and her amazing adjustments make her a one stop shop! As a high level athlete with 2 foot surgeries and a shoulder surgery she was able to put my body back in place and get me to running better, faster and more efficiently in a few weeks after seeing her. I am currently using her as my ""Secret Weapon"" to help me train for the 2008 olympic trials in the marathon. Additonally, PTPT has modalities such as whole body vibration, detoxing purifiers, and products/supplements that are helping me to be one step ahead where every second counts. Thank you Vivian, for helping me to make my dreams come true! Pros: Great Value, attention, knowledge, service, hours, flexibility Cons: I cant see her as much as I want to more

I came to Prevent the Pain as I was done with Chiropractors bleeding me for insurance and co-payments. I was initially skeptical, and cautious. After my initial consult, I was hooked ! Vivian looked me over, and knew exactly what I needed. My posture sucked, I walked wrong, the chronic pain in my back was a result of this, and until I KNEW what the problem was, there was no way to realize that I could truly be pain-free. After a few sessions, I felt 1000% better. She enabled me to be more in-tune with my body, and to know what to do and not to do. \r \r I am very graetful that she helped me with finding out the cause of my discomfort and pain, and treated that, instead of trying to fit me into a cookie-cutter program that helped pad her pocket book, and didn't really help me at all. She cares, and will help you! \r \r On a scale of 1 to 10, Prevent the Pain is a 20! I'm a new person since I saw her, and can't thank her enough! more

I have been in and out of physical therapy, acupuncture, doctors, chiropractors?trying to help my chronic headaches. Vivian is a compassionate, tell it like it is, woman who gives so much more than her PT skills. She has made me aware of not just the physical but the emotional habits that are causing my pain. So I can attack the problem form all sides. For the first time I have hope that one day I will be headache free and a stronger person! Pros: lively, effecient more

Vivian is the awesomest of the awesome! Within two short\r months she had me feeling better and standing taller than I\r ever knew I could feel or stand. Not only does she have an\r incredible understanding of the human body and how to fix it,\r she cares about making people well as if she were their own\r mother. Physical therapy with Vivian Eisenstadt is one of the\r greatest experiences I have ever had, and probably ranks among\r the best experiences the world currently has to offer.\r Brent Laffoon\r more

Vivian & Staff of PTPT are truly amazing! I injured my knee six years ago and have been living with the pain until Vivian! I was told by every doctor to take an aspirin & go back to work...I really thought this was as good as it was going to get. Luckily I was referred to PTPT two months ago. Already I have noticed HUGE improvements in what my knee can do! I have no swelling in my knee for the first time in six years!!! This is not just physical therapy...it is a wellness center. There are so many components that are available to promote healthy & balanced living...Turbo Sonic, Isogenix (I've lost 12 pounds), Liquid Vitamins, Massage Therapy & Toxin Reducing Foot Baths, just to name a few. Vivian is a dynamo who is committed to inspiring you to get & stay healthy. The whole staff is wonderful...Martin is remarkable at making therapy fit my busy schedule. Sherri is amazingly friendly while working the kinks out! I really do appreciate all the personal attention and dedication from PTPT. I have recommended them to friends, and will continue to do so!! Pros: Variety of Services, Results, Flexible Scheduling & Plenty of Parking more

Vivian is very intense and very effective. Every other PT place I have used was like kindergarden compared to PTP. Vivian uses a very personal approach to her treatment and is highly specific about what needs to be done in and out of her office as far as exercises and follow-up. She also offers massage and alternative treatments in addition to traditional methods. Vivian truly educated me so I can literally prevent the pain! more

I was referred to Vivian Eisenstadt and Prevent The Pain Therapy after a car accident. I was a bit skeptical because I had been treated by other physical therapists and chiropractors before and was still in pain.\r They were always just treating the same spot in my neck. With Vivian, it's a total body experience. She is very smart and intuitive and understands the body very well and knows that you have to take an integrative approach to healing and treat the whole body. She was able to isolate a connective point in my neck/shoulder area that no one else had and treat that. I have already recommended her to friends and would feel comfortable referring her to anyone. And I love the total vibration machine! Cynthia Land more

?After 15 minutes of Vivian's deep tissue work I walked away a different person. The deep seated injury and pain in my hips, knees and ankles, from 20 years of professional clasical ballet and Broadway Dance, were released instantly. Furthermore, the night of my first treatment brought me a somatic experience in spirit and mind; old patterns and feelings of remorse were replaced with an incredible new vitality and positivity. I literally felt white light and hapiness searing through my being; the results of her treatments were nothing short of a miracle. Vivian understands the body intrinsically and her work opens the path to complete and absolute healing. I believe her work prepares the body to release its most magical attribute - that is, to heal itself."" Liam Burke\r more

?About six years years ago, I suffered a second severe lower disk herniation. My\r first herniation required extensive surgery, so I thought that I was\r destined to be back in the operating room. Fortunately for me, Vivian\r Eisenstadt was my physical therapist.\r \r Vivian approached my challenging physical condition with the utmost\r professionalism. Her combination of applying advanced techniques along\r with her positive personal energy yielded great results. Session after\r session, Vivian focused on strengthening my weakened spine and spirit by\r continuously pushing me physically, while promoting a wellness mind set.\r .\r \r By the end of my therapy sessions, I forgot I ever had a serious\r herniation, and was in the best shape of my life. I owe a lot to Vivian\r for my continued health today, and still religiously employ the exercises I\r learned from her.\r \r I would strongly recommend Vivian as a physical therapist who can truly\r improve a patient's physical ,mental and spiritual well being.\r \r Mike Winter\r Brooklyn, NY\r more

Three doctors, two physical therapists and one acupuncturist later and my condition was only getting worse. I had been suffering for over two and half years with a condition that started out as ilio-tibial band syndrome and then proliferated into bursitis in my hip, sciatica and hip piriformis syndrome. My quality of life was in the gutter. I would pray that I could get through a day of work without the pain escalating to the point that I would have to leave, which happened regularly. Driving was very painful and living in Los Angeles that limited me a great deal. I grew isolated because my condition prevented me from going to family functions that were far away, prevented me from going out to dinner and the movies with family and friends and prevented me from fully living my life. That was my life before I met Vivian Eisenstadt. Within five minutes after meeting me Vivian diagnosed me with a severe hip rotation. She did some adjustments for me and within a week, yes one week, I was basically pain free. I have begun physical therapy with her to restore my muscles to where they were before I got injured and with each session I feel myself getting stronger and healthier. There are tears in my eyes as I write this testimonial because I am overwhelmed with gratitude to Vivian for giving me my life back. I would not only recommend anyone to Vivian but I'd also be happy to speak with them directly about my miraculous healing experience.\r \r Ms. Schwartz\r \r Pros: Easy parking, skilled therapist more

Vivian Eisenstadt, owner of Prevent the Pain, is a truly gifted practioner. She has an intuitive sense of just where the problem lies and is highly creative in her approach to healing, as well as willing to go the extra mile to make sure her clients improve. I received excellent treatment for a chronic lower back problem I've had and I have greatly improved under her care. more

Vivian has the personality and experience to make you want to recover. A pleasure to be treated and the results were amazing. I would happily recommend PTP to anyone. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the treatment rooms and if you're a dog lover, there's another plus! Don't just take my word for it. Have an accident! Pay her a visit! Pros: Friendy one on one attention. Easy to get to. Flexible times. Cons: You have to be in pain to see her! more
