Vivie Therapy is a Los Angeles physical therapy and alternative therapy center that offers massage therapy, sports rehab, detox footbaths and more.
This includes, but is not limited to, your work and home stressors, overall body condition, nutrition, genetic & postural habits, emotional connections and patterns that are held in your muscles. What separates us from other standard Physical Therapy centers is our mind-body approach to wellness and the long-term results received by our patients.
This system is easy to use and a powerful & valuable tool in successfully combating the effects of aging, weight gain, degeneration and toxicity on our body.
Vivian founded her healing center Prevent the Pain Therapy, now renamed Vivie Therapy in 2003 with the goal of helping patients with chronic and recent pain reclaim their lives quickly and thoroughly. A health practitioner who has explored traditional and modern healing techniques for over 20 years, Vivian creates programs based on Pilates-based Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy & subconscious associations to the problem. This along with postural and daily activity movement analysis programs, all approached with a holistic body-mind-spirit understanding, encompassing your total well-being. Vivian gives a pinpoint diagnosis to your issues while working closely with you, providing clear education and home programs that don’t just facilitate full recovery, but have you prevent future injuries to live a vivie or “pain-free” lifestyle. Prior to founding her own practice, Vivian served as a Physical Therapist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in both their Outpatient and Spine centers as well as running private clinics in Beverly Hills, CA.
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 have 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 breathe better and walk better. Please, we all need more love and self-care.....give yourself the gift of a session with Vivian.
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.
40+ years of sports from falling on skateboards, years of rugby and rock climbing in the Himalayas have left my wrists 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!
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.
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!

Vivie Therapy: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Vivian enough! After seeing many doctors and specialists for my neck and shoulder pain, Vivian is the fist one who has been able to help me achieve lasting results. She uses a variety of techniques to address where the pain is located on that specific day. Vivian gives 100% each session and I am very grateful I found her.
Fantastic experience: Vivie is Amazing. Was having neck pain and headaches - nothing was working to relieve the pain. Went to her office and from one session I was pain free. Six months later, still pain free or as Vivian says, I'm feeling "Vivie!"
Fantastic experience: Vivian is a very intuitive therapist who thinks outside of the box to address the causes of my problems vs just dealing with the symptoms of muscle pain and weakness as other therapists and chiropractors have done in the past. She will help you get to the root of your pain and help you come up with functuonal solutions to live life pain free!
Fantastic experience: Vivian, is a very effective therapist. She fixed my lunge in minutes while her predecessors floundered for years. She has a deep knowledge of the human body and is able to make progress quickly. I highly recommend Vivie Therapy. -David
Fantastic experience: After suffering from extremely bad back pain from sitting all day in front of my computer at work, I finally went to see Vivian. I decided to drive the distance to Vivian's office and it was well worth it. She aligned my back, did ultrasound, worked on me with a really awesome machine that released the tension in my neck and back muscles. After a couple of physical therapy visits and homework that Vivian advised, I am pain free without pain medication that I did my best to avoid. Thank you Vivian you are AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: This is from my wife: I started seeing Vivian because of upper back and neck pain. She worked me through her process: deep tissue work and muscle strengthening. She gave me tools to work on my own posture and to prevent the pain from returning. I appreciated not only her technique but also her sense of humor, even when she was doing deep tissue work, which was quite painful, she tried to make me laugh and not focus on the pain. Her spiritual healing techniques were also helpful for my mind and overall well-being. Vivian was easy to schedule with, spent an entire hour with me and gave me her full attention. I had read Yelp reviews before going to see her, and affirm all those reviews-- she helped me heal myself relatively quickly and gave me tools to stay healthy.
Fantastic experience: I had deep shoulder and neck pain. After JUST THE FIRST consult, I was feeling better. I stress this: Anyone who doesn't go to Vivie for PT is an idiot!
Fantastic experience: I had the worst lower back pain and for whatever reason I also had a thumb twitch that wouldn’t go away for about two weeks. I hoped the pain would go away with rest and stretching but it did not. Finally I had a session with Vivian and within one session my lower back pain was resolved and my thumb stopped twitching (must have been some connected nerve that was causing this) Highly highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: Vivian & Marcia are both amazing! I had an amazing experience with my treatments & highly recommend the therapy they offer!
Fantastic experience: Highly, highly recommend going to Vivie Therapy. Vivian is extremely knowledgable and works with each and every patient directly. Unlike other physical therapy offices where you might have assistants working on you, or have the physical therapist's attention on more than one person at a time, Vivian only works with 1 person at a time, and it is always 100% her directly working with you. I am someone who has tried going to a good amount of physical therapists, and can say that Vivie Therapy is a place to go to if you *actually want to see results.* Vivian makes sure to give unique treatments to each person, and focuses in on what the underlying cause of pain is so help set you up for success in the long-run. I also recommend going to Vivie Therapy for massage therapy. Marcia works on your muscles and puts care into her work. My body has really benefited from these sessions to get relief from the pain. She is lovely. Overall: I originally chose to try Vivie Therapy because of the amazing reviews I read online, and after receiving treatment here, it became clear why she has such great reviews, and you'll see why yourself when you choose to go with Vivie Therapy as well. Absolutely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dear Vivie, Thank goodness I found you after 20 years! You were great then, and now, better than ever! Thank you for always greeting me with a smile and making my therapy enjoyable. Thank you for pushing me to limits I didn’t think we’re possible! Thank you for the individual care given me and the best care possible! Thank you for the countless great massages; Marcia is just the sweetest kindest person with great hands! As much as I may have complained, thank you for encouraging me to keep going even when it hurt, and for not letting me quit. Thank you for all your tips and working me out on all the different and great machines you have to relieve the pain in different parts of the body. Thank you for helping me through the pain. I am feeling so much better thanks to YOU!!! Thank you, thank you for YOU!!! Cheryl
Fantastic experience: Amazing! Super helpful and knows what she’s doing. I started feeling astronomically better after my first visit! Love this place and would recommend to anyone I know!
Fantastic experience: Vivian is a wonderful healer. I went to her for neck and back pain following a car accident this spring and it was resolved much faster than my doctors predicted. I can't thank her enough.
Fantastic experience: I went to Vivie & Marceia with decades of hard knots and scar tissue in my neck and shoulders. They worked with me regularly to break that down, straighten my posture, and eventually completely changed the way my neck looked. They’re both extremely talented and wonderful people, I would highly recommend them to anyone struggling to find a physical therapy team that works for them.
Fantastic experience: Best therapist out there. She knows her stuff and takes care of you.
Fantastic experience: If you are in any physical pain, especially back, shoulder or neck pain, then look no further than Vivian!! She is so strong, talented and a real master of her craft. I went to other therapists in the past and there was no progress. Before Vivian I thought I would just have to accept the daily discomfort and pain I was dealing with. Thankfully, she showed me so many different exercises and worked on my trouble areas in different ways that truly helped. Each visit was different than the previous one which was very beneficial and I learned a lot from her. She has many tricks up her sleeve and shares many different exercises which are invaluable. She takes the time to understand your pain from different angels and offers many different solutions until you're healed. She is also extremely welcoming, funny and accommodating which was the cherry on top! I am so happy to have went to Vivian for physical therapy and I highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: Vivie Therapy has cured my neck and spine injuries and my chronic pain of my neck muscle. Her adjustment has corrected my postural issues. She pointed out the problem that I was using the wrong muscle to workout for years. My pain has been eliminated. I am able to build stronger muscle from workout. Vivian made sure I did all the exercise correctly. I felt comfortable to relax and was able to begin healing. I am now back to my life better than before. I had never got so much better like this from other physical therapists and chiropractors. Also, the massage therapist, Mercus, was so helpful as well. It was an amazing experience! Thank you so much Vivian!
Fantastic experience: Vivian is an amazing healer! She uses her western knowledge and intuition to assist in finding the best path to healing her patients. She has helped me be able to walk without a hitch in my hip. Highly recommend her!!
Fantastic experience: The best treatment I ever had ! Vivian used all different kind of techniques and equipments to help you fell better, she is strong and not lazy to work on your body when needed. You should also get a massage from Marcia, she is a true healer!!
Fantastic experience: I have gone to other therapist to get help on my shoulder and ankle but have had no progress. Once I met Vivian it was a different story. She was able to find exactly where the pain was coming from and gave me the perfect exercises to help me heal. I was really scared that I might have to have surgery on my shoulder, but luckily I am getting better that I don't need it. The best thing about Vivie is that she talks to you like a friend instead of a patient. I loved it and it made me feel so much better mentally as well, like I made another friend which is hard in this messed up pandemic world. Other therapists I've gone too have been straight to the point and made the visit boring. I was actually looking forward to seeing Vivian and talking to her about other subjects besides therapy. The masseuse Marcia is absolutely wonderful as well. She is pretty strong and is able to work out any problems you have with your body. She has great conversations and is able to relate to you on almost any subject. I will definitely come back to her just for a regular massage and chop it up. Both these wonderful women made therapy amazing and had me laughing out loud. I wish I would of started here instead of wasting time with other lame therapists. Also they are very organized with their appointments so you're not bumping heads with other patients. I am so happy I found her and highly highly recommend whoever is reading this to come HERE! You will definitely be satisfied.
Fantastic experience: Full disclosure: Vivian and I have been friends since high school, back in Brooklyn. On my visit out West I not only had the pleasure of seeing my classmate, but also got one the best treatments of my life. I have over twenty years experience as an acupuncturist and have had an almost infinite amount of physical therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments. I have never had anything resembling what Vivian did. This is top five. For sure. Including the acupuncture an treatment that stopped a gallbladder attack and another one that induced labor. Love you Vivian
Fantastic experience: I found Vivian after a lot of research as I was staring physical therapy during covid-19! She heard my concerns, shared how she kept her facility sanitary and clean and definitely put my mind to rest. She is a strong therapist and Marcia, the woman who does massage therapy is terrific! Kind, gentle and yet firm to break through 7 months of scar tissue which developed around a fractured pelvis. Couldn't be happier at how much better I feel!
Fantastic experience: I suffered from chronic hip and more recently neck/shoulder pain for over five years. My boss referred me to Viv as she was healed by this magical woman herself a decade ago from lifelong back problems. I've been working with Viv for a week on my pain and already I'm seeing drastic improvements. She's got this ability to get DEEP into your body and your psyche as she pushes you through the pain to a place of healing. I absolutely love this woman and I'm so grateful to have found her. She truly is the epitome of a healer, inside and out!
Fantastic experience: She is warm and friendly. I had a back pain and it is much better. She helped me improve my posture and it helped my back immensely. It also added a self confidence in my posture I didn't have before. She gets to the root of the problem not just masking the symptoms!!!
Fantastic experience: Both, Vivie and Marcia are incredible! Super knowledgeable and talented. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I'm so amazed with the wonderful results through the therapy with Vivian...simply oustanding!! so grateful that I found her and looking forward to keep getting better ❤ highly recommended services. Fui por mi dolor en espalda baja. Desde la primera cita vi resultados y quede asombrada. Ahora despues de mas sesiones, no solo mi espalda a mejorado muchisimo, sino que en general me siento mejor que nunca! Altamente recomendable!!
Fantastic experience: I have been a professional athlete for over 20 years - pioneer in women’s professional boxing In Europe and a 10 time world champion in three divisions.Vivian helps me through my sport career as a professional boxer with her incredible knowledge and precise treatment. Thank you Vivie for always putting me back in the ring.
Fantastic experience: Tengo apenaa 5 secciones y me e sentido muy relajada mis muculos empiesan a sentirlo.
Fantastic experience: My doctor told me about Vive Therapy after injuring my lower back.. this wasn't the first time I was referred to a physical but It was the first I was actually satisfied with the results, She knew exactly what she was doing. Much appreciated!!!
Fantastic experience: The first time I came for a visit was shortly after I had sprained my ankle and spent several months in recovery at a PT in Austin. I was in LA and I was having some physical issues and Vivian looked at me walking in and said “did they ever tell you that you weren’t walking correctly.” She adjusted me, helped me re-learn how to walk and the ankle has been fine since.
Fantastic experience: I came to Vivie Therapy with a lifetime's-worth of bad posture habits and a pain in my shoulder that just kept getting worse. Within a handful of sessions, Vivian identified the root source, made the pain go away and provided me with a whole new set of tools to fix my posture and keep it fixed.
Fantastic experience: After suffering from a knee injury for 3 weeks caused by sprinting on the treadmill, I finally went to see Vivian. She worked on my leg and knee for approx 20 min and the pain was gone. It was amazing. She massaged my legs and the did ultrasound, followed by ice. After a couple of physical therapy visits and homework that Vivian advised I am back in the gym on the stair climber and elliptical (staying away from the treadmill for a while). Thank you Vivian you are AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome spot for overall healing. She works with you directly to make sure you get the most for your money.
Fantastic experience: I have been to several physical therapists and chiropractors. Every single one I went to made me feel better for a week or a few weeks and the result was never permanent. Vivian taught me how to use my muscles differently in my day to day life, released years of tension and taught me how to do easy movements to strengthen areas that were underdeveloped. It's a life changing process and I will always be grateful.
Fantastic experience: Just amazing. I went in thinking that she would just get rid of the tension in my neck but she went way beyond my expectation and built up my body. I'm sure that thanks to her I will never have another neck issue in my life. She knew exactly what to do and what I was feeling. I don't just feel physically better but after going I feel better all around and I have more energy.
Fantastic experience: Vivie helped me tremendously with an injury after a car accident, and I felt 60% relief after my first visit. After only a few months, I was completely recovered. I recommend her to anyone who is in pain.
Fantastic experience: She's the best in town! If you are hurt or injured somehow and looking for a PT, she is the ONE! She knows what she's doing and fixed me so fast! Not to mention, You also need to do your part! But she teaches how to use your body and muscles properly when you are exercising and in daily life.
