When people ask us "What kind of massages do your massage therapists do - shiatsu, deep tissue etc.", it is like asking an artist "what kind of brush strokes do you use?" All of the Vivie Therapy massage practitioners are gifted with intuitive abilities to know what kind of massage you may need on top of being highly educated in their field.
In this day and age of computer lifestyle, muscle imbalance is rampant and the cause of most low back and neck pain. One of the most effective exercise programs to undo the negative effects of our postural epidemic and body de-conditioning is Pilates.
Pilates is an exercise system that is focused on balancing the imbalances that long term sitting and computer use creates, building strength without bulk, improving flexibility and agility, and helping to prevent injury.It involves a series of controlled movements that engage both your body and mind to focus on using your body in a fashion that reinforces balance - what we call mindful movement.

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 💚💚💚

I met Vivie years ago when she worked on my boyfriend (who she fixed in only 3 sessions, and we really thought he'd never be able to walk again before seeing her). Anyway, the amount of stress & trauma I've had in my life went straight to my neck and shoulders, which made my posture bad and me super insecure. I finally decided to stop putting it off and I wanted to share just a glimpse of what she did in 1 session. See the difference in my shoulders? She started with my right shoulder and I wanted to take a picture before she did the left to show the difference. If you have any pains

I just finished up a series of sessions with Vivie to get me going again after spine surgery and could not be more impressed with what she was able to accomplish in a short period of time. She treats the body and the soul and is a force of nature. I got several messages from Marcia after sessions and always walked away like a new (and improved) man. Thanks ladies.

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.

Several years ago, I got into a terrible car accident, and my lawyer sent me to some chic chiropractic office in Westwood. I could barely walk when I entered their office. The nurse told me that I was in such bad shape; she wasn't going to touch me. She put an ice-pack on my shoulder, and then they had the audacity to bill my lawyer $400!!! I told my lawyer never to send me back there, and then she sent me to Vivie Therapy instead. Vivie not only healed me from all of my injuries, but she also got my body back in better shape than it had been before my accident. I left with a six-pack! She

I cannot recommend Vivie Therapy enough. I am not one to leave reviews but Vivian has completely changed my life!! I have struggled with neck and back pain for over 2 years and have seen every chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage therapist, body worker etc. Not one of them was able to hack my body like she has. She is a true healer and she REALLY cares about her patients. She also has an incredible massage therapist who works along side her. I would definitely classify myself as a massage snob and Marcia is excellent as well.

Had back problems for years and was told by my chiropractor I'd not be able to run without pain. After 4-5 weeks therapy with Viv, I'm able to run without any back pain...still working on getting in shape to run more than a mile of course. Baby steps
Don't believe when your doctor tells you that you can't do something until you go see Viv.

Vivie was by far the best person I could've had to heal me! I came to vivie after a car accident. When I came to vivie, she was extremely informative about my situation. She not only wanted me to get better and back to normal, she wanted me to improve beyond "just okay." She not only focused on my areas of pain, she also helped fix my posture, which was a huge insecurity for me. I looked forward to every session I had with her, as she was a ball of sunshine and a breathe of fresh air. All of my sessions were during Covid, and I would like to reassure anyone, that vivie keeps a safe

Hands down the best physical therapist in Los Angeles. I found Vivian and Marcia many years ago through yelp and have been going there ever since. I tend to get a lot of sciatica pain in my lower back and Vivian always knows what to do to relieve pressure and pain. She's great at realigning my back. I always get a massage after my back is aligned and Marcia is the best massage therapist I've ever had, her hands are magic. I highly recommend Vivie Therapy for anyone looking for an amazing physical therapist and masseuse in LA.

I needed to start PT for a broken pelvis during covid-19 lockdown. I interviewed several physical therapists but Vivian impressed me with her commitment to keeping her location clean and sanitary. Additionally she really heard me when I voiced my concerns while the other locations felt more dismissive. And then the work? Amazing! I spent 7 months living in pain but in the month I've seen her for treatment I can not believe how much improvement I've had! She is truly a miracle worker!

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!

I was recently introduced to Vivian by my husband who was seeing her for some back problems. Upon my first meeting with Vivian I knew that she had the ability to read not only my body but my soul as well. Since the first session with her my body and mind have both been reset in a very dramatic way. I am so grateful for her medical know how, compassion, insights and her continuous push to get me to the next level of feeling the best that I can. I highly recommend Vivian to anyone that wants to live a better, more productive and pain free life! She already knows, but I love this lady!!!

Alright. I work out 5-6 days a week lifting weights. Moving around all the time at work. I came in for an adjustment and let me tell you... It changed my life. Vivian first gave me a tour of her amazing place. Right when you walk in you get cozy and comfortable vibes. Each room has different tools and equipment to tend to all kinds of needs. She kept it professional and explained what she was planning to do to help me. It was an amazingly intense experience. She made sure to realign my entire body. I walked out feeling lighter and relieved. I am DEFINITELY scheduling another appointment to try

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!

I been suffering of back and neck pain for about more than 3 years ,and I can say that the results are coming positive every day pass by , with warm dedication and compasión.
I ve been in a lot of Quiropractor, Specialists and Drs.and finally Margie found the right place for me, I can say I was scared little at the beginning of the process but after my 8 to 10 session I could feel the improvement of my process of healing.
Im glad to found Vivie

An amazing atmosphere to be around not the average visit, but very warm and friendly. She truly wants you to get better and her methods and positive attitude make you want to be a better person. All the tools she uses are well thought out and from experience. The speediness of my recovery and the way the body processed my injury was my favorite. Thank you for teaching me how to care for my body and caring for my body! I miss waking up to dogs all around me too!

I went to see Vivie on referral from a friend because I was experiencing extreme body tightness, physical and mental fatigue. My anxiety was causing me breathing problems and a chronic migraine and a complete lack of appetite. I had lost 8lbs in 2 weeks and I looked and felt awful.
She did a few treatments with me that literally helped me unwind. I can't come up with a better term than that because that's literally what she did. She unwound me. I left her office feeling a bit "lighter"...less anxious, less "emotional" and the first 2 things I thought of were eating

Wow, I have experienced many physical therapist in my life as I was a professional ballet dancer for 13 years, however Vivian outshines them all. I've been experiencing next pain on the left side of my neck and tight muscles on the left side of my spine. With one treatment Vivian loosened the muscles in my back and my neck is pain free. I was floating on a cloud for several hours after the treatment as I was so use to the pain and now I am pain free. Vivian is a gifted healer.

Miracle worker. Went in with a sports injury and honestly could have walked out healed in under 10 minutes. Vivian knows the body inside out and located the injury (thigh injury) as a problem coming from my back. Stretched me out and voila, no more pain.
Incredibly personable as well and looking forward to continuing my follow up sessions with her.

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.

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.
