“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.”

“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,”

“Dr. Mancherian, 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 online asking for help with finding a doctor or PT who could help with 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 with any chronic problems. ”

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.”

“Hi Viv, you know you are The One!!! You have helped me so tremendously on so many different levels, my hip has never hurt again after you worked on it for a little while. Wow, it took seven years to find you! Now you will help me heal after the shoulder surgery, looking forward to working with you. YOU ARE THE BEST!”

“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. ”

“I do not know where to begin about the therapy treatment I received from Vivian and her staff. Everyone on her staff melts together like they have been knowing each other since birth. The treatment I received made me feel as though I should have been here ten years ago when I first injured myself while working. I feel the treatment I received would have saved the worker's compensation some money by me not having the surgeries I did have. The idea of learning that to walk correctly by holding the stomach muscles, tightening up the buttocks and walking with the alignment of my shoulders made the pain go away. The exercise in Pilates and stretching every part of my muscles made a difference in the level of my pain decreasing. The massages were great also, more manipulations than I have ever received from any physical therapist just great in my recovery from pain. I needed a whole month with this group but five days told me a lot about myself and how I could reduce the pain with me. I believe if you are a person who really wants to get rid of the pain go to Prevent The Pain Therapy. The pain you receive during therapy is nothing like the feel of no pain after visiting this group of fine people.”
