I have had posture problems all my life because of my foot problems and I alway believed that could never be changed. However, one summer spent working with Vivian and 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 parts of my body. Vivian knows what she’s doing and she does it well!

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

Two doctors, two x-rays, two therapists and an MRI but there was no progress with my shoulder until there was Vivian!

I just wanted to thank you– I’ll never forget how kind you were to me. At a time when it seemed like no one could figure out what was wrong with me and no one had patience to try to figure it out, you were one of the few who was kind, patient, and generous. Thanks again,

Jennifer

I walk in with a headache, I walk out feeling great. What more could anyone ask for?

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) RUN. Call for an appointment. HURRY! My Best,

I am only in my thirties, but being 6 foot 3, and working behind a desk for 10 or more hours a day, my back began to hurt, so I went to Vivian. I had seen chiropractors and other physical therapists in the past. But Vivian works with a unique and different approach. My back pains are now gone. I feel much better. And she taught me stretches and exercises so I can keep it that way. Thanks Vivian, even if it probably cost you a regular patient.

Hi, I’m Karen. I met Vivian through my brother and he sent me to her for the pain he was sick of hearing about. I am a musician and my forearms and neck were like bricks and I was experiencing debilitating pain that stalled my life. It’s hard to explain how in such a short time I was able to get a deep understanding of my body and how important it was to cherish and take care of it on a constant basis; get rid of the pain; and get back to following my dreams. Being pain free has helped improve every part of my life. Thank you Vivian and PTPT Staff

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. 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. 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. 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!

After 15 minutes of Vivian’s deep tissue work I walked away a different person. The deep seated injury and pain in my hips and neck from years of professional dancing were released and that night this was reflected in my spirit and mind; old patterns and feelings of remorse were replaced with an incredible new vitality and positivity. I have new hope that I can return to dancing without worrying when the pain in my hips will start. The results of her treatments were nothing short of a miracle. Vivian understands the body intrinsically and she opens part to complete and absolute healing.
