I just wanted to take time this new year to express my gratitude for the excellent care I received at Vivie Therapy. I came to Vivian last fall with some terrible knee pain. I was frightened that it might be quite serious and the start of worse things to come, but Vivian both diagnosed the actual source of the pain (result of years of misuse, bad posture, sitting at desks, compounded by a recent hiking accident), provided manual adjustments (wowzer!), stretching and exercises to rebuild my strength.
AND she has the most amazing therapeutic massage therapist on staff - Marcia - both these woman are both highly skilled professionals and lovely humans. They really make for a dynamic duo! 💥 💪
In addition to the relief in pain, and increased motility, I believe the biggest achievement I’ve noticed is my increased body awareness. It’s wild the habitual patterns she immediately picked up on, that I wasn’t aware of before, but am now. I went from literally being afraid to walk last fall, to cross country and downhill skiing on my Christmas vacation.
Vivian is also just, like, good people, who really cares about her patients and wants them to get the most out of each session. And you will.
I’ve had to periodically visit physical therapists throughout out my life for different reasons - won’t go into that here, but, suffice to say - Vivian by far is the best physical therapist I have ever worked with.

I've only been to Vivian once and that seemed to be all I needed -
I've been struggling with my right leg before bedtime having some sort of weird nerve pinching sensation. It didn't happend every night, but it was at least once or maybe twice a week. I would find myself trying to find ways to release the pressure by massaging my leg or foot, but nothing worked UGH I was so frustrated and wanted this discomforting weird pain to go away!...
In 2024, my sister had found Vivian for sciatica and told me that in her first session, Vivian made her CRY but in a good way. She went for a couple more sessions and her sciatica was gone!
In Jan 2025, My dad ended up with sciatica and had to be sent to the hospital by ambulance since the pain was so unbearable he couldn't walk. The hospital couldn't book him for physical therapy until end of February but Vivian took him the next day! With Vivian, his pain went from 100 to 10!! Went one more time and was walking normal in less than a week !
Now it is my turn but for different reasons. My issue had been on going for more than a year. I had one session and since then, I haven't had any more issues with that awful pinched nerve!!! AND not only that-she showed me WHERE it was coming from, which wasn't my leg or foot, but my lower back!
She explained to me and showed me a diagram of how it is all connected. She found the root cause!!! So if I ever felt it coming back, all I needed to do was to stretch or use a foam roller. But it hardly comes back-it's been a month and I haven't had that sensation anymore! My longest streak ever, and thanks to viv!!
Not to mention-she's a great an fun human being with a big personality. She is herself and that is the best part! Thanks Viv!

I have had a terrific experience with physical therapy here. My lower back has had variations of chronic pain and stiffness for years. Vivian not only helped me loosen the most troublesome muscles, but she gave insight on the sources and causes of the pain as well as offering stretches and exercises to prevent it from continuing to be a long term problem. She is experienced and direct with her process and giving information. Incredibly grateful that I was able to see her this year.
Marcia, the other team member of the practice, is also exceptional and I cannot recommend the duel process of PT followed by a targeted massage enough.

I had four sessions with Vivian, and she truly changed my life. My back and neck feel so much better thanks to her expertise. Vivian is not only highly skilled but also incredibly energetic and kind. She made every session enjoyable. Highly recommend her for anyone in need of top-notch physiotherapy!

Seeing Vivie has been amazing! She's super knowledgeable and really pays attention to what you need. My mobility and pain have improved so much thanks to her expertise. Each session is spot on, and I've made great progress. I totally recommend Vivie if you're looking for the Wonder Woman of PT!
