“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 weekend 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’t dampen by spirit! It has been 8 days since the accident. I am still sore but can’t even imagine what I would feel like if I hadn’t been to you the day after I was hit. I am confident that I am well on the way to doing cartwheels. (Not that I had been doing those on a daily basis – but wonderful to feel I can if required.)
Many, many thanks,”

“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 started working with Vivian about three months ago after injuring my back moving furniture (I wish I had hurt myself in a more swashbuckling way). I was referred to her by two of my friends, who in my opinion do not make referrals lightly, in other words, they don’t like anyone. The fact that they would recommend Vivian says a lot about how much she helped them recover from their respective back injuries. Granted, I cannot say my injury was that severe compared to other people I know. I did not require surgery, hospitalization or other invasive procedures. But in my case it was very debilitating. I could not sit or stand for long periods of time, could not exercise, but most importantly could not chase my two young kids around. That is what hurt the most. At first I was skeptical. I had been to other physical therapists for a variety of ailments and none of them approached therapy in the same way as Vivian. Her techniques are innovative. Tugging, stretching, thinking, concentrating are a big part of her sessions. There is no easy ice, ride a bike, stim, and go home. Additionally, she made me do homework, every day, multiple times a day, all movements tailored to my weaknesses and meant to improve my physical lifestyle. But you see the results immediately. You also hear her voice every time you make a movement. That is a gift that is like a gift that keeps on giving. Another step in her healing process is the fact that she has the expertise to review how your body works in unison. She has helped my ankles, my knees and my neck. Last week she had me visit a podiatrist to help my arches. All of this has helped my back immensely. I can honestly say that Vivian is the best physical therapist I have worked with and would recommend her highly. Be prepared to work, be prepared to listen, and be prepared to do your homework. Best of all, be prepared to feel better than you have in a while. ”

“Vivian is a true healer! After suffering a near death experience from a bowel resection that took a wrong turn, I came to Vivian with hopes of healing from the trauma of Peritonitis, numerous surgeries and recovery from a colostomy reversal.
At the time, I was living with tremendous pain and suffering psychologically from the trauma of my ordeal. I had a lot of hesitation and fear.. 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 “Green Mile”.
Today there’s not an activity I can’t do. I’ve been off pain meds for over two years and I thank Vivian for initiating my wonderful recovery. I have nothing but positive things to say about Vivian and her healing ability and wouldn’t hesitate to refer anyone into her healing hands.”

“When I was 14, I had spinal fusion surgery to correct a scoliotic curve in my spine. I received no physical therapy and I didn’t think that I needed any. Sure, I couldn’t bend my spine but I didn’t see how that might affect other aspects of my physical well-being. I returned to the sport of gymnastics and did what I could do. Obviously, it wasn’t much.
During one gymnastics practice, I injured my knee and was prescribed two rounds of physical therapy. It didn’t do any good and I resigned myself to reality—I would always experience pain in my left knee. Unfortunately, an injured knee hampered my active lifestyle and I quickly found my pain increasing to the point that I sought medical help again. This time I went in for arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus. I thought that this would be the end and things would finally improve.
Again, I was wrong. Even after the surgery and another dose of physical therapy, I was still in pain and unable to resume my normal activities. And that’s when I met Vivian Eisenstadt. Vivian explained to me that it was all connected—the spinal fusion surgery and the knee problems. My immobilized spine had progressively weakened my core and kept me from doing basic activities properly, even walking. We worked on widening my gait, stepping with the correct heel to toe motion and engaging my core.
My pain has substantially decreased. I have resumed running and dancing and though I still experience some discomfort, I no longer feel despondent. I know that with Vivian’s help, I will soon be pain-free. ”
