“Vivian is incredible at helping people with their issues. She's intuitive and senses ones issues with her unique abilities. She is a visionary when comes to helping people with healing. When my neck and shoulders were tweaked, it took Vivian minutes to diagnose and help me back to pain-free. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her center. Thanks Vivian for years of healing and friendship!”

“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 lifesaver! Her meticulous attention to detail is the key to quick recovery, proper healing and developing the right muscles. Her belief in skeletal and muscular alignment and her amazing adjustments make her a one-stop shop! As a high level athlete with 2 foot surgeries and a shoulder surgery she was able to put my body back in place and get me to running better, faster and more efficiently in a few weeks after seeing her. I am currently using her as my "Secret Weapon" to help me train for the 2008 Olympic trials in the marathon. Additionally, PTPT has modalities such as whole body vibration, detoxing purifiers, and products/supplements that are helping me to be one step ahead where every second counts. Thank you Vivian, for helping me to make my dreams come true! ”

“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’s co-worker. She forwarded me her story and outlined what Vivian and her staff had done for her after a horrible car accident. I was willing to try anything at this point. I called as soon as I was given the contact information. Martin was able to book a same day appointment and I did not know it at the time but my life was about the change for the better. Vivian has a great place in the best location. It is so easy to get to and you do not have to deal with parking or validation. She has a beautiful rose garden that welcomes you to the physical therapy office. Her space is very welcoming and I instantly felt at home in her office. Vivian gave me a thorough evaluation and asked me every question in the book. At this point I became aware Vivian is a seasoned professional. I could feel the positive energy she gives off and I could feel the empathy she had for my situation. Post evaluation was an emotional experience. Vivian instructed me to lay-down on my back and put me in positions I had not experienced in a long time. She put me through a series of alignments and I was instructed to stand up see how I felt. I was in shock. The pain, numbness, and chaos that had disrupted my life for so long seem to have disappeared. So much was running through my head I could not hold it in. She kept eye contact and she knew what was about to happen and it did. Every emotion flowed out of me. We somehow bonded in that moment and she wrapped her arms around me and told me to let it go. After some time I was able to compose myself and Vivian and I had a nice chat about the emotional issues wrapped up with my back pain. I was given my “homework” a long list of stretches. I purchased an inexpensive foam roll to do some of the various exercises. She outlined my treatment plan, and she managed my expectations of the final result. It has been some time since my first visit to PTPT. The physical therapy and the various treatments; ultrasound, electric stimulation, whole body vibration, and massage have changed my life. I no longer live with pain. My whole body is 1000% more flexible, I have muscle tone in places I did not before (I have abs!) and I totally understand the mind body connection. A quick note on the massages: AMAZING! Vivian’s staff knows what they are doing. The massages are relaxing and therapeutic. All the therapists are well trained and very good at what they do. The massages have played a major roll in my recovering from the debilitating pain. I encourage anyone who is experiencing pain to call PTPT. I tell every person I come in contact with about Vivian and her amazing staff at PTPT. With so much thanks”

“Whether you're in pain or not, PTPT gives you an opportunity to feel better than you did before. When I came to PTPT over 4 years ago I was suffering from bad knees. Vivian teaches you how to do the basics of living, including walking, standing and sitting in a way that enforces wellness and balance. Her ability to know exactly what angle is off has helped me with both knees, my back, neck and shoulders. I do not only feel better physically, but mentally I feel more focused and empowered with everything I do. The massage therapists are so skilled in knowing how you're feeling that day and take such good care of me, including listening to what I need on that particular day and making sure I feel good. My husband now comes to PTPT when he needs treatment and my friends who noticed the change in me now get treated here as well. You have a place to go and you can ask advice anytime. There's only one Vivian”
