“I didn't know what to do. The nerve pain in my shoulder and arm increased to the point where I couldn't work or sleep. Doctors told me to wait it out. Acupuncturists exacerbated the pain. Sticking with Vivian for a few weeks not only healed my pain, but inspired me to get into better shape altogether. She taught me to reconnect to my body and to not hold stress in my neck. I had shooting nerve pain down my right arm with numbness in my thumb. Vivian helped me become aware of the muscle groups that support the rest of my body, the abdominal and back muscles. Her techniques were affective to the very core, even my breathing changed. Now I stand taller, I'm more agile, I've let go of emotional baggage I was holding as stress in my body. I am happier and so thankful to this Wonder Woman of a healer. I also want to thank Jen, her message therapist is of another world. Vivian, thank you for everything. I am forever in your debt. ”

“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,”

“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!”

“I've been experiencing back pain since my car accident in 1996. It wasn't until I came to Vivian that I began to have relief. She makes the pain go away and offers tips and tricks to keep it at bay. She's passionate about her work and she has an amazing energy; she truly wants to heal the hurt. I have referred her to a number of my friends who in turn have had amazing results.”

“I am so impressed with Vivian’s ability to spot the source of a physical problem and know just how to treat it in the fewest number of visits. I especially appreciate her keen awareness of the human body and her dedication in making sure that I follow through with her advice on my posture and body alignment. She’s my very own Jewish mother wrapped up in a healing professional.”

“Vivian is an "iron fist with a velvet glove"! She gets to the root of your problem and corrects it. You may not always like what you hear or the pain of healing initially but afterwards, you are extremeful grateful and delighted with the results. She is truly gifted with healing hands and after going to many other physical therapists, I have finally found one that has cured me. Thanks, Viv! You Rock!”
