User Reviews for Prevent the Pain Therapy

I am really encouraged to say that I went in there with some major pain in my right elbow/forearm area, and since then I have felt like a brand new person. My pain has existed on and off for about seven years, and for the first time I feel confident with the treatment and direction I've been given. In one visit alone, I left with a plethora of insight that is allowing my health to be what it is meant to be. Vivian is real and gets to the root of your issue immediately. Thank goodness the health world has her so that we can truly experience what it means to be pain free!!

“I am 41 years old and just recently had a baby. I went to Vivian to help me through my pregnancy and “help” became an understatement! She kept my body and spine in alignment and helped me avoid a lot of the common symptoms associated with pregnancy such as lower back pain, nausea, fatigue and postural issues. Whatever symptom I would experience, she was able to alleviate with adjustments, nutritional guidance, core strengthening exercises and other therapies at her fingertips. She made a remarkable difference in my experience of being pregnant and I encourage any woman to seek her assistance during this time. Thank you, Vivian, for changing the way I lived through my pregnancy!” -Karen Abrams

I am 27 years old and before seeing Vivian I was on my way to using a cane by the age of 50. It's been seven years since my ACL surgery and I was never really able to get back to being normal in sports or even daily living such as walking downstairs normally. I reinjured my knee a year ago to the point that my doctor told me I can no longer run and jump ever again. My doctor's explanation was that certain people don't recover normally. And the doctors that I have seen are well known orthopedic surgeons who have worked on olympic athletes and have won national awards. I have seen a few physical therapists, all with good reputations, but physical therapy was always frustrating because I was never able to make any real progress. And only in my first visit with Vivian she was able to immediately spot fundamental problems which were acting barriers in my rehabilitation. None of which all my previous doctors or physical therapists were able to spot. Only if I had found out about citysearch sooner! She truly is wonderwoman, literally...You'll know what I mean after your first visit. =)

Three weeks after going back to work full-time while also breastfeeding a 20-pound baby, my shoulders and neck were completely locked up. I get regular chiropractic adjustments, but was still in pain. Vivian got me down on the ground and WORKED it out! I felt a little better immediately, and by the next day the pain was gone. She rocks.

I've been to a lot of physical therapists, and it doesn't get any better that PTPT. Vivian truly cares about her patients. Since I've started seeing her I've cut back on my pain medication by over 75%. I feel like a new person with a new body! It's wonderful. Her massage therapists are fabulous too.

Vivian is one of the best physical therapists around. I worked for her as a massage therapist and many of the clients would tell me how they had physical therapy before coming to PTPT and it hadn't done anything for them. But since working with Vivian they were finally healing. I myself became a client after a car accident in 2004, and having Vivian as my therapist really helped me get better quickly. She's passionate about her work and I highly recommend her.

Vivian is the only person that has really taught me how to hold my body to prevent pain. She's an incredible physical therapist with an amazing breadth of knowlege about the body, mind AND spirit. She truly connects to her patients as a whole and approaches healing and pain as such. The only problem with visiting Vivian is that you'll like her so much you'll want to go back even if you're healed! If Vivian can't fix you, nobody can!!!

I love getting an adjustment from Vivian. When she puts her hands on me the healing that takes place comes from multiple levels. She has been able to reach places in my body where I been holding on to stuff for decades. I am discovering a new lighter me. My pain is reduced. My range of motion is improved. I can breath better and walk better. Please, we all need more love and self-care.....give yourself the gift of a session with Vivian.

40+ years of sports from falling on skateboards, years of rugby and rock climbing in the Himalayas have left my wrist's and hands in pain, not to mention the 5 hours a day on the computer for the last 10 years. After one session with Vivian my pain was 75 percent relieved and i was on my way to some long-term relief. Vivian's great energy, attitude and knowledge are incomparable. Also her facility is inviting, high tech when needed and back to basics when those techniques work best. Thank you Vivian, I look forward to working with you keeping me pain free and my athletic career intact for the next 40 years!
