“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).”

“I came to Vivian after tearing my hamstring and not wanting to enter the slow Kaiser system. I was afraid I wouldn’t play softball again, walk or get back to my normal activities. Not only did Vivian diagnose specifically what my injury was, but within 2 treatments/2 weeks with a good home program I was back on the ball field (yes- she did tell me I did it too soon, but I used a pinch runner) and am able to use my leg for working and daily activities. A possible nightmare was turned into a safe place to recover with guidance, ease and satisfied results. I'd recommend her to anyone and if your insurance doesn’t cover her - see her anyway - she is worth the time.”

“Vivian aka The Brooklyn Healer.. is just that! As an East Coast Gal myself, I found her humor and style to be a refreshing change from many others in her profession. She was thorough, asked questions, listened to answers, and got to work. I felt very safe and taken care of by her and her staff at Prevent The Pain. While there I received a full body alignment, an alpha-biotic alignment and a foot detox... I left her office feeling lighter, taller, and stronger. The resounding feeling that stayed with me for days after my visit... was BALANCE.. serenity..
I highly reccomend checking out the services at Prevent The Pain.”

“I have never left a review on Yelp before, but this woman is amazing so I felt I had to spread the word. I found Vivian by chance, during a particularly bad episode with my back. My low back was stiff, felt like concrete had formed, or like a baseball was lodged in my tailbone. And, I had lost feeling in my left foot. I've had back problems my whole life, have seen every sort of professional in this area that you can imagine, and even had back surgery. But, 10 years later, I was still having problems. The numbness was new, and scary. I went to Vivian feeling desperate to find relief. After one session with her, the feeling started to return to my foot. Recently I became a more consistent patient with her, and am now successfully working with her on preventative care for my back. I thank my lucky stars I found her. She is truly a miracle worker, and is worth every penny.”

“Vivian is a gifted healer. She is unlike any other body worker that I have even worked with. After my first session with Vivian my bi-lateral achilles tendonitis was gone. Now, 4 visits later, most of my other aches and pains have dissipated. I feel so lucky to have met Vivian. I encourage others with chronic pain to see her.”

“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!”

“I came to Prevent The Pain as I was done with Chiropractors bleeding me for insurance and co-payments. I was initially skeptical, and cautious. After my initial consult, I was hooked! Vivian looked me over, and knew exactly what I needeed. My posture sucked, I walked wrong, the chronic pain in my back was a result of this, and until I KNEW what the problem was, there was no way to realize that I could truly be pain-free. After a few sessions, I felt 1000% better. She enabled me to be more in-tune with my body, and to know what to do and not to do. I am very grateful that she helped me with finding out the cause of my discomfort and pain, and treated that, instead of trying to fit me into a cookie-cutter program that helped pad her pocket book, and didn't really help me at all. She cares, and will help you! On a scale of 1 to 10, Prevent The Pain is a 20! I'm a new person since I saw her, and can't thank her enough!”
