With Appreciation, Mark W. Alpert, O.D.

“Vivian Eisenstadt gave me my life back.She did it with her incredible knowledge, personality and best of all, encouragement. I needed physical therapy because of a silly little fall down the stairs in my home. A year and 2 MRI's later, it was determined that I had a 9 mm herniation between L4 and L5. Surgery was recommended. I waited and the disk ruptured touching 2 nerves and causing drop foot in my left foot and a lot of frustration. Surgery followed soon after and my recovery was set in motion. However, it wasn't as easy as I had hoped. After spending many months with a general physical therapist, I had felt that my recovery was not moving along as quickly as I had wanted. A friend recommended me to Vivian and after about a month working with Vivian, I started to get very excited about the challenges that she placed in front of me. I was also very excited about the results that I was getting as well. Vivian's energy and encouragement really placed my focus on hitting milestones rather than focusing on where I felt I should be in my recovery. I felt that her focusing on my mental outlook was just as important as my physical issues. Vivian shared her knowledge with me and educated me on my body and why certain movements cause me pain. That was very helpful and taught me how to use my body without causing pain. Vivian worked differently from the other PT's I had worked with. She focused on the big muscles but she also really concentrated on small fine-tuning as well. She was all about challenging my muscles and explaining why being off balance while doing the exercises was a positive thing. She explained that the imbalance showed the weakness, which ultimately gave her information on where I should focus my energies. With each milestone accomplished, the exercises became more challenging. I was never bored with my therapy. She constantly introduced new ways to keep me interested and after a while, put me on the Pilates machine to challenge me even more. I really enjoyed her mindset that you can have the best person working with you but if you don't do the work, what good is it. My recovery was my choice and responsibility and with her help, I have made it to the other side. My pain level was a 9 when I started working with Vivian and when I was discharged, my pain level was at a 1 or 2 depending if it was a good or bad day. Vivian had given me the ability to sit in my car and drive without pain.That was huge for me since I spend several hours a day in my car. She also helped me become more aware of my body and how it works best. I highly recommend Vivian to anyone who wants a Physical Therapist who can challenge and motivate as well as strengthen and cure. She is results oriented and creates an environment that motivates and gets results. Thank you Vivian for giving me my body and my life back. You are a godsend and I don't know what I would have done without you. You are the best! Love always A very happy patient”

Thanks again for your expert treatment. You are a kindred soul and skillful healer. I believe I am on the mend.

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

“As I am writing this testimonial, I just want to note that I am sitting up straight in my chair, my butt is out, my feet are straight in front of me, and I am not straining my neck.

I was referred to her by two of my friends, who in my opinion do not make referrals lightly, in other words, they don”

Vivian was intuitively understanding and gentle yet effective.. She got me moving.. she had me working through the pain and my recovery was amazing! She was my ”

“Vivian is Amazing! She showed me how to strengthen and shape my posture into a more supportive and powerful structure and in the process of my regaining a stronger posture, I felt better in my body and my self-confidence level shot straight up! I found myself taking on projects that I had been putting off and began to speak more freely and confidently about what's in my heart. Thanks Vivian!

Lots of Love,

“I had been suffering with lower back pain for three years before PTPT. The quality of my life was defined by the pain I was experiencing. I was unable to sit for long periods of time. I was overtaken by depression, anxiety, and most of all pain. I watched my body change over three years. I had lost muscle in my legs, my posture was bad, and I had little motivation to work through the pain that had tormented me for so long. I had been to doctors, had extensive x-rays, drug therapy, you name it I tried it.
PTPT was recommended by my spouse”

“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 part 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”

“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)

“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”
Karen Abrams

“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!

Larry Chernoff

“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.

“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.

“Dear Vivian:
I so wanted you to know I am in awe of your skills.
I was feeling simply miserable on the day I saw you. Only 24 hours had passed since a rotten so-and-so had plowed into me and my Corolla. Chip and I had planned to go to Las Vegas for a long week-end and I was very seriously considering cancelling the trip. I was in fear of being stuck in the car for the 5 hour drive that was ahead of me the next day.
The work you did with me was remarkable. I felt completely taken care of and secure in knowing you were doing what would help. And it did help - tremendously. The pain in my lower back was relieved by your work on my hip. And the pain in my neck and shoulders vastly lessened by your adjustments and treatments in that area.
Not only was the trip largely pain free, it was actually pleasant and relaxing; especially so since Chip drove the whole way. I could sit comfortably and enjoy the good music he had brought along for the journey.
The trip back to Los Angeles three days later was just as easy as the trip out. I was in such a good mood, feeling so well, that even losing at the tables didn”

“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.

Rob Steinberg

“Unlike most PT's who treat only the pain, Vivian has an unique ability to
precisely pinpoint where the source of the pain stems. Her approach is truly
comprehesive in treating the pain while simultaneously preventing it from
returning. Vivian is truly gifted and I would recommend anyone who either
has a problem or is at risk of developing a problem so they don't have to
suffer needlessly. Her approach is truly unique, highly specific to the
individual, and personal. You will leave her with the knowledge on how to
live pain free. Vivian is truly gifted, I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

“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.

“Vivian Eisenstadt has worked wonders on my back. She has allowed me to enjoy the last few precious months of my pregnancy.
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. The first doctor said I was pregnant and there was nothing they could do - that I would just have to deal with it until the pregnancy ended because I couldnt take drugs or get epidurals.
I refused to give in and argued for a solution. He brought another doctor into the patient room, Dr. Berkeley. After a short discussion, Dr. Berkeley referred me to a Physical Therapist, PTPT run by Vivian Eisenstadt. Thank god for that stroke of luck.
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 relived 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.

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!

“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!

“Vivianne gave me my body back. I had a complete knee replacement two years ago, and had a large knot on the back of my thigh. I went to her for a back problem and she explained to be I was not using my knee at all, which is why my back was overworking, worked the knot out with her hands and showed me exercises I was never given to help my leg fully recover. She is a healer. ”

“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 . ”

“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!

“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.”

“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. 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

“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!

“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!!

“Dr. Manchurian,

Thank you so much for the referrals to Vivian.
She is the kookiest person I have ever met (which is a compliment) and she popped my ankle back into alignment. She also called me the most uptight, stressed out person (I was probably oozing negative energy all over her office), but I certainly appreciate her candor. Thanks - I'm seeing her again tomorrow so she can get me aligned for my marathon on Sunday!
I posted a few days ago on line asking for help w/finding a doctor or PT who could help w/my ankle pain. I have been going to PT for months and got a cortisone injection from a doctor and nothing helped. Another peachheader referred me to Vivian Eisenstadt at Prevent the Pain Therapy who popped my ankle back into place and relieved my pain in ONE SESSION - which the orthopedic doc and last PT never did over the course of months. Thank you for the referral, and I highly recommend her to anyone who has any kind of pain. Her approach is unorthodox, but she knows her stuff I would recommend her highly to anyone w/any chronic problems. ”

“Thank you so much Vivian, for getting my back and spine ack on track! After being in a car accident my back was hurt to the extent that I was unable to stand or even sit for longer than an hour. Vivian knew exactly what was out of place and within a very few sessions was able to align my back and even show me different ways to continue to keep my body/back/spine healthy and strong! I feel so much better now. In fact, I actually feel better than before the accident!!! ”

“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!”

“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, MARTIN, 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.”
Nina Stewart

“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 knowlege 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!!!

VickiLynne

“Vivian is an amazing healer. Her stretching techniques really helped align me. I was having issues with my feet hurting. She realigned my spine and did some stretching that helped ease the pain immediately. I have become more aware at the placement of my feet and body and my pain has decreased immensely. She is very intuitive and has alot of unique machines that bring healing to the body. Vivian is like no other physical therapist I have encountered and I recommend her highly. If you're looking for healing, you should meet with her.”

“I MET VIVIANE LAST YEAR WHEN MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD TO LEARN HOW TO STAND STRAIGHT AND KEEP HER SHOULDERS STRAIGHT. HER NECK MUSCLES WERE VERY SHORT.
IT SEEMS THAT MANY KIDS ARE IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER FOR MANY HOURS AFTER SCHOOL. AFTER 2 SESSIONS MY DAUGHTER LEARNED HER POSTURE , HOW TO KEEP HER STOMACK MUSCLES IN, NOT EASY JOB FOR A KID OF HER AGE TO REMEMBER ALL THIS.
SHE LOVES GOING TO VIVIANE.
VIVIANE IS VERY LIVELY, SHE REALLY LOVES HER JOB, SHE LOVES TO HELP AND SUPPORT HER PATIENTS. SHE LOVES WONDER WOMAN AND SHE REALLY DOES WONDERS TO PEOPLE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND WE STILL WANT TO SEE YOU AT OUR SHABBES TABLE

“I am 27 years old and before seeing Vivian I was on my way to using a cane by the age of 50. It's been seven years since my ACL surgery and I was never really able to get back to being normal in sports or even daily living such as walking downstairs normally. I reinjured my knee a year ago to the point that my doctor told me I can no longer run and jump ever again. My doctor's explanation was that certain people don't recover normally. And the doctors that I have seen are well known orthopedic surgeons who have worked on olympic athletes and have won national awards. I have seen a few physical therapists, all with good reputations, but physical therapy was always frustrating because I was never able to make any real progress. And only in my first visit with Vivian she was able to immediately spot fundamental problems which were acting barriers in my rehabilitation. None of which all my previous doctors or physical therapists were able to spot. Only if I had found out about citysearch sooner! She truly is wonderwoman, literally...You'll know what I mean after your first visit. =)”

“I've been to a lot of physical therapists, and it doesn't get any better that PTPT. Vivian truly cares about her patients.

“Thank you Vivian for changing the way I lived through my pregnancy!”

“I am 41 years old and just recently had a baby. I went to Vivian to help me through my pregnancy and “help” became an understatement! She kept my body and spine in alignment and helped me avoid a lot of the common symptoms associated with pregnancy such as lower back pain, nausea, fatigue and postural issues. Whatever symptom I would experience, she was able to alleviate with adjustments, nutritional guidance core strengthening exercises and other therapies at her fingertips. She made a remarkable difference in my experience of being pregnant and I encourage any woman to seek her assistance during this time.

Detox

One of the best ways to avoid injuries is to teach your body how to abide by the concept of stability before mobility when performing any movement. By relearning that every movement should be initiated by your core muscles the muscles located closest to your center of force, you might have heard them referred to as lower abs.Pilates creates an easy way to find and strengthen these muscles for added support with every movement you make. When these muscles weaken, the neck, upper shoulders and lower back muscles tighten, compressing the nerves and discs, causing pain. At PTPT we teach you to use these muscles all the time so you never fall into patterns that produce long term pain and tightness.
