Vivian Eisenstadt is, hands down, the best physical therapist I've been to in the L.A. area. I arrived at her office weak and in pain, and now four months later, feel much stronger and more confident in my body and self. She combines her vast knowledge of human musculoskeletal function with specifically tailored, pilates-based training to effect the changes needed to improve an ailing physique. She also addresses the more psychological aspects of healing as part of her treatment. She can refer you to a host of practitioners in other areas of the healing arts for whatever your specific needs may be as well. And she's a great person to boot. If you need a physical therapist, Vivian Eisenstadt is your girl! Pros: extremely good at training the body to function as it should Cons: She can't clone herself.

I had leg and feet pain for months til I saw a podiatrist who recommended Vivian. Within 3 treatments (i.e., a week and a half) in conjunction with exercises she recommended I did at home, I was pain free. I was truly impressed given that I have been to other physical therapists several years ago for another problem which required 10 treatments and only helped a little. Vivian is very knowledgeable, physically strong, and is passionate about helping her clients get better and stay better. Pros: Better than other PTs, accepts insurances

If you have any kind of physical pain and want to get better, there is no way around for you but to go and see Vivian! She's an amazing PT and knows what she's doing! If only all PTs were like her! The insurance companies were a lot happier because she gets the job done quickly! I've been to my fair share of PTs. I've played sports all my life and let me tell you that I haven't been to a better place than PTPT. First of all, it's not your typical physical therapy place. It's not 'cold' like a usual doctor's or PT's offices. You feel right at home as soon as you walk into the door. Most likely, you'll be greeted by two little dogs. Lady and Lucky. Lucky can be a bit moody at times but once you got to know him, he's your best buddy! Secondly, get ready to get to work right off the bat! There's no fooling around and wasting time in that office, which I really appreciate! Even if you insurance is not accepted there, your money will be well spent! Pros: Best PT in town! Probably in SoCal!

I went in looking for a massage, but what I really got was a lot of expert knowledge and a plan for a pain free existence. Sure, I got my massage, but I also learned how to stand up straight (who knew that was something I had to learn!), excercise properly using the actual muscles the excercise was meant to work out, and that a life without pain was a real possiblity. I was not sure what to expect when I first walked in, but I can tell you that I am very happy that I did. It has truly changed my life.

After holding off on seeking out overdue help for my back aches from my previous years as a tennis player, I sought out PTPT in hopes of starting my path towards a pain-free back. Instead I achieved a stunning and immediate recovery that literary felt as though I had received a new spine from God, or Vivian as I would have had it. She truly puts her body, mind, soul, and WIT to work as she sets you anew with an intact body and a reformed mindset to ensure a life of health and pain-free mobility. For anyone looking for a physical therapist with effective results, seriously....Seriously.....Look No Further. Pros: Welcoming atmosphere, AMAZING staff, healing service... Cons: N/A

I went to PTPT seeking help for an unbelievably painful shoulder. I experienced an injury to my shoulder from playing tennis. Before visiting PTPT, I visited multiple other doctors for help. None of them worked...not even slightly. However, once I began PTPT, I instantly noticed improvement on my healing. Since I started PTPT a rough three months ago, my shoulder has recovered about 70%, possibly even more. While I used to have difficulty using my shoulder and arm when dealin with the most simple tasks, I am now able to use my shoulder without much worry. I would recommend anyone with an injury or chronic pain to visit PTPT, because it has proven to be remarkably effective. Pros: Great environment, equipped facility, knowledgeable doctor. Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Having been to other physical therapists,(for similar problems) I have to say this is somewhat beyond physical therapy. As opposed to simply being adjusted or massaged and receiving exercises which are straight out of the standard physical therapy playbook (which has been my experience in the past), Vivian has provided me with an approach that addresses pain and it's sources in a more holistic way. She has dealt with the back and neck pain I've experienced as something symptomatic and treatable in many different ways (adjustment and massage being only a few). She has helped me to reassess how I have treated my body over my lifetime, as well as how little I have understood it up til now. I am being retrained in where I focus my energies in my posture and this alone has been a revelation. It has been a lot of work, but well worth the effort and the results speak for themselves. I can't believe how much better I've been feeling and how improved my posture has become since I started this process. The people who work there are all great and some of the best masseuses I've experienced (as well as the alphabioticist). Suffice it to say, I can recommend Vivian without any reservation whatsoever!

I do not know where to begin about the therapy treatment I received from Vivian and her staff. Everyone on her staff melt together like they have been knowing each other since birth. The treatment I received made me feel as though I should have been here ten years ago when I first injured myself while working. I feel the treatment I received would have saved the worker's compnsation some money by me not having the surgeries I did have. The idea of learning that to walk correctly by holding the stomach muscles, tightening up the buttocks and walking with the alignment of my sholders made the pain go away. The exercise in pilates and stretching every part of my muscles made a difference in the level of my pain decreasing. The massages were great also, more manipulations then I have ever received from any physical therapist just great in my recovery from pain. I needed a whole month with this group but five days told me a lot about myself and how I could reduce the pain with me. I believe if you are a person who really want to get rid of the pain go to Prevent the Pain Therapy. The pain you receive during therapy is nothing like the feel of no pain after visiting this group of fine people. Pros: Energic, motivated, amazing

I am so happy to have found Vivian at PTPT. I am a former college athlete and I used to just work through the pain and live with it. I had an injury to my Planter Facia over 2 years ago and all I did was mask the PAIN with anti-inflammatory meds. (Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex, etc...)I never concerned myself with identifying what was causing the pain. Vivian has done an amazing job of helping me with my injury. She has taught me exercises to do for my foot when I am at home, and she has truly gotten to the root cause of my injury. If you have had an injury and you have been putting off getting treatment, don't wait any longer. Vivian is an AMAZING "healer". I have never written a review for any of these type of sites, however, in this case I felt like I owed it to others out there that may be suffering like I was. Go see Vivian and tell her that Mark sent you ..... Pros: Great environment , great vibe for healing
