“I first went to see Vivian at Prevent The Pain Therapy in the fall of 2004 with significant lower back pain that stemmed from two badly diseased lumbar discs. I had already had a micro-discectomy the year before which didn't help and I was preparing to have the new disc replacement surgery in the spring of 2005. My problem was severely mechanical. I had examined all the options and was pretty sure that I was not going to be fixed by therapy, so I'm not going to tell you that Vivian fixed me or saved me from surgery. I imagine she would be able to do that for many with back problems, but mine was significantly more complicated. What I will tell you is that her methods and approach were perfect. She got me strong and ready for the much needed surgery. I was also taught a new way to think about my spine, back and the core muscles in and around the abdomen while being given very specific techniques and exercises to strengthen my back and correct my posture. These exercises, approaches and treatments are what got me strong enough -- both mentally and physically -- to be ready for the surgery. I implemented much of what I was taught following the surgery and due in part to her help, at 6 months post operative, I am feeling better than I have in five years. Thanks, Vivian to you and PTPT.”

“I've been experiencing back pain since my car accident in 1996. It wasn't until I came 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 energy; she truly wants to heal the hurt. I have referred her to a number of my friends who in turn have had amazing results.”

“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 therapists 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 lifesaver!”

“I recommend Vivian to all my friends whether they are in pain or not! Being an avid cyclist, whenever I have injured myself on the road and been in pain for weeks, on numerous occasions I buckle and come to PTPT where Vivian diagnoses and fixes me with speed and precision. With her vast knowledge of the human body, most of the time she eliminates my pain in one visit by finding the originating cause and "does what she does". She has helped me find "lost" muscles and reviews my yoga exercises so I am doing them correctly and mindfully. The Southland is lucky to have PTPT around (I travel from Redondo Beach to see her).”
David Hochman

“Vivian is the only person that has really taught me how to hold my body to prevent pain. She's an incredible physical therapist with an amazing breadth of knowledge about the body, mind AND spirit. She truly connects to her patients as a whole and approaches healing and pain as such. The only problem with visiting Vivian is that you'll like her so much you'll want to go back even if you're healed! If Vivian can't fix you, nobody can!!!”

“This was a letter I just sent my lawyer: Out of my frustration of having almost constant pain since my accident, even after the epidural procedure, I’m not getting any relief. So, I’ve done some research of my own and came across a clinic called Prevent The Pain Therapy, Inc. I’ve made an appointment with them on August 23, 2007 and received a treatment from Ms. Vivian Eisenstadt, who is an Orthopedic Certified Specialist. I’ve received more benefit from this one session than the entire time of PT in the past since the accident. . I feel this will be a better solution than performing a surgical procedure. Thus, I’m hoping that I could receive a further doctor's recommendation to continue my Physical Therapy at this location. I’m convinced of its therapeutic values and I would even like to further suggest you refer some of your patients to this location rather than referring them to some useless therapy. In addition, I’m going to require more time to produce the evidence of my previous financial and business records. I will do my best to send them out to you soon. Thank you for your help and look forward to your reply. You can find more information about Prevent The Pain Therapy at: www.preventthepain.com Sincerely, Jerry H Yoon”

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