“I had the privilege of getting physical therapy and massage from the owner, Vivian, and not only my neck pain was eventually gone, she converted me into a physical exercise fanatic (well, I do my exercises regularly now!). It seems that she knows a few secrets to good physical health and I'd definetely would go to her again and again, if not for pain therapy, just for any old physical therapy. She is so good! Too bad I can only do it when visiting . ” Pavel Butorin Sunnyside, New York
“Thank You PTPT! You showed true insight in diagnosing the cause of the chronic knee and back pain I felt that other doctors missed. I just completed the wildflower half ironman - a 1,2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile run - and I feel great thanks to Vivian and the staff at PTPT.” Ari Bayme
“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).” David Hochman
“"Vivian is hands down the best physical therapist ever!! I came to her with back and groin tendon pain so severe I could barely leave my house. I had already seen one physical therapist, and gotten an MRI and my doctor felt there was nothing left to do. Thankfully I found Vivian! After only a few sessions with her I was able to walk around the block again (truly an amazing feat for how badly I had felt) and I have hope of being as athletic as I was prior to my injury. Thanks Vivian!!!!"” Elspeth
“Unlike most PT's who treat only the pain, Vivian has an unique ability to
precisely pinpoint where the source of the pain stems. Her approach is truly
comprehesive in treating the pain while simultaneously preventing it from
returning. Vivian is truly gifted and I would recommend anyone who either
has a problem or is at risk of developing a problem so they don't have to
suffer needlessly. Her approach is truly unique, highly specific to the
individual, and personal. You will leave her with the knowledge on how to
live pain free. Vivian is truly gifted, I wouldn't recommend anyone else.” Robert Findley
“Vivian gave me my body back. I had a complete knee replacement two years ago, and had a large knot on the back of my thigh. I went to her for a back problem and she explained to me I was not using my knee at all, which is why my back was overworking, worked the knot out with her hands and showed me exercises I was never given to help my leg fully recover. She is a healer.” Vil
“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,” Natasha
