She is determined to get you healthy. Her goal is not to just fix the pain, but find out the cause and teach you how to incorporate the things she shows you, into your everyday life. You don't feel like time and $$ are her priority.. she takes her time and has the patience to get you healthy again. Thanks PTPT :0 ) more

I had the privilege of getting physical therapy and massage from the owner, Vivian, and not only my neck pain was eventually gone, she converted me into a physical execise fanatic (well, I do my exercises regularly now!). It seems that she knows a few secrets to good physical health and I'd defintely would go to her again and again, if not for pain therapy, just for any old physical therapy. She is so good! Too bad I can only do it when visitng .\r \r Pavel Butorin\r Sunnyside, New York more

Vivianne gave me my body back. I had a complete knee replacement two years ago,\r and had a large knot on the back of my thigh. I went to her for a back problem and\r she explained to be I was not using my knee at all, which is why my back was overworking,\r worked the knot out with her hands and showed me exercises I was never given to\r help my leg fully recover. She is a healer.\r Pros: parking, nicely decorated, made room in her busy schedule for me. more

Vivian is the best there is! Plain and simple. I have had more improvements with my injury in one visit with Vivian then I have in 3 years of medicines and all other remedies that I have tried. She is fantastic at what she does and helps you find the true root to whatever it is that you need to work on in order to begin your route to recovery! more

I have suffered from chronic back pain for nearly 25 years. I would suffer periodic episodes which left me barely able to walk, enduring weeks where the slightest wrong movement could reduce me near tears. Recuperation consisted of massage, rest, and, mostly, time. After the acute pain subsided, and with enough time, it would return to a state of insidious discomfort that would nag just below the surface, waiting for another episode opportunity.\r \r My massage therapist, who told me that she couldn't cure me, introduced me to Vivian. I was in a great deal of pain at the time, and Vivian nursed me back to normal in just a few weeks. She used a combination of therapies, one of which was her good humor, but warned that while I had passed through the most difficult portion of the recovery process, I would need to continue physical therapy and maintain a homework schedule to ultimately eliminate the pain. I didn't. And, sure enough, months later after a long plane ride to Europe, the pain returned. This time it was a series of episodes, each one more painful than the previous. Finally, after feeling ill with pain, I called Vivian again.\r \r I arrived in the office and Vivian went to work. Between the stim, infrared, massage, traction, manual mobilization, specific exercises and slow stretching, Vivian and her team coaxed me back to health. This time she was even more emphatic in her admonition to do my homework, continue to train muscles that were necessary to help prevent a recurrence, and to stretch properly.\r \r I'm back to an active lifestyle and, for the moment, pain free. I intend to stay that way by following the personalized plan Vivian has structured for me. I'm so grateful for her knowledge, her caring nature, and the understanding she brings to the practice of healing. Viva Vivian!\r more

I came to see Vivian after my third surgery on my knee. Rather than just working on getting me back into the condition I was in before my surgery, Vivian focused on finding the imbalances and weaknesses in my body that first caused the injury. With previous physical therapists I had learned the importance of strengthening the muscles in my leg in order support the knee, but I learned from Vivian how to activate and incorporate those muscles into every day movements. Since working with Vivian I have completely changed the way I run and even walk and I have discovered a new strength and stability in my body that was lacking before coming to see Vivian. more

I have had posture problems all my life because of my foot problems and I always believed that could never be changed. However, after one summer spent working with Vivian, the improvements were dramatic. She took a whole body approach - rather than only working on my feet, she helped me improve my posture and overall health by focusing on all part of my body. Vivian knows what she's doing and she does it well! more

?Vivian Eisenstadt has worked wonders on my back. She has allowed me to enjoy the last few precious months of my pregnancy. \r I was suffering from a severe nerve pain in my back as a result of pregnancy. I was in so much pain I could barely walk. I tried yoga, stretching, and exercise none of which helped. Desperate, I asked my OBGYN for help. He referred me to Cedars-Sinai Spinal Institute. \r At first, the Spinal Institute refused to offer me a solution because I was pregnant and could not undergo x-rays or take pain medication. I refused to give in and argued for an alternative. After a much discussion, Cedars Spinal Institute finally referred me to a Physical Therapist, PTPT run by Vivian Eisenstadt. Thank god for that stroke of luck.\r After a few sessions with Vivian, I can now walk completely pain free. She is quick, direct and efficient in her diagnosis. I cannot tell you how grateful and relieved I am to spend the last few months of my pregnancy without constant pain. I can now enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy and send loving peace to my baby. Vivian is a godsend.?\r \r Margaret Marca-Tomandl\r \r more

To whom it may concern,\r \r My name is Jimmy Cummings and I was in a serious car accident on July 19th, 2006. \r My car was totaled and I was taken to an Emergency room in Hollywood. I had severe \r injuries to my neck, shoulders and back. The injuries were so bad \r that I spent a week in bed and could not get out of a chair or a car \r without assistance for over a month. I went to the doctor and was given a \r prescription to P.T.P.T.(Prevent The Pain Therapy) with Vivian \r Eisenstadt. At first, I did not believe she would be able to help me \r because the pain was so severe and cripplingthat I could barely move my neck \r with out gritting my teeth. I was out of work with no pay and I had \r never felt so hopeless, but with her no nonsense attitude and \r professionalism she was able to pinpoint exactly what was going on \r with me and my body and went to work. After the first month the pain \r in my neck was almost completely gone. With each visit she asks \r exactly how I feel... what's going on with me, and what hurts... then \r she goes to work.\r \r After she works on me - I feel better and better each time. I'm on \r my way to a complete recovery which I did not believe was possible. \r Her approach to how she works is different with each visit. Not only \r does Vivian care about her patients, clients and employees. She's \r the greatest healer I've ever met or seen. She has an amazing staff \r that works in conjunction with her and all her patients. I hope that \r any person who is in the kind of pain I was is lucky enough to fall \r under her care. I'm so grateful to have met her and I would \r recommend anybody who has pain, no matter how big or small to make an \r appointment and let the miracle happen. \r \r Sincerely - Jimmy Cummings Pros: Great price! Good service! Wonderful people! Cons: Read the signs when parking, but plenty of parking. more

\r The Prevent the Pain Clinic itself is a place for physical therapy, Pilates, manual therapy, laser light therapy, sports rehabilitation and just a cool place to hang out and meet really really interesting people. I didn't want to leave the place - ever.... Vivian, the owner and one of the resident healers - made me leave! (kidding)\r \r RUN. Call for an appointment. HURRY! more

Vivian is one of the few physical therapists who truly gets the job done. My patients simply feel better after her treatments. Her technical knowledge and ?hands-on? approach make her incredibly effective when treating a variety of pathologies.\r \r Dr. Carolyn Siegel, Podiatrist more

?Many years ago there was a PR campaign which asked\r What Becomes A Legend? This was printed on the adverts\r of classic female movie star photos like Greta Garbo,\r Carole Lombard, Bette Davis etc. When I think of\r Vivian Eisenstadt, I ask What/Who is a Legend? That?s\r how super she is as a physical therapist and healer.\r I?d been rather sceptical about trying physical\r therapy until I tried Vivian. I was struck immediately\r by her extensive knowledge of the body and its\r workings. Unlike others before her, she taught me how\r to correct my walking and sitting posture through\r exercise and home work. I use the word taught because\r I believe that a really good healer teaches the\r patient how to get strong. And because she often acts\r like a drill Sgt. I forever have her voice in my head\r as I?m walking my dog, admonishing me to ?stand up\r straight!? and ?stomach in.? Vivian has been given the\r gift of healing. People with doubts and those without\r should come and experience how good she is and how\r much better they will feel in her able hands.I tell everyone I meet that they should see\r her and why. She is FABULOUS!\r Elisa Vandernoot Pros: Close, convenient, great atmosphere and friendly! more

When I dislocated my knee I was very fortunate to find Vivian at Prevent the Pain and she was able to not only end the pain, but return my knee to the way it was before the injury. Now I am back to serious athletic activities thanks to a great physical therapist who I now consider a good friend. At Prevent the Pain, the atmosphere is warm, professional, and you always leave feeling great! more

\r ?I am so impressed with Vivian?s ability to spot the source of a physical problem and know just how to treat it in the fewest number of visits. I especially appreciate her keen awareness of the human body and her dedication in making sure that I follow through with her advice on my posture and body alignment. She?s my very own Jewish mother wrapped up in a healing professional.?\r Psychic Dave\r \r Pros: easy parking. friendly atmosphere, good reception more
