With over 40 years of experience in treating chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders, Dr. Rivi graduated as a Registered Physical Therapist from the prestigious Wingate Institute in Israel in 1983. She earned her Master’s in Dance/Movement Therapy from Hunter College, NY, in 1991, followed by a PhD in Physical Therapy from New York University in 2000. Her diverse experience spans acute care, rehabilitation, and outpatient settings, where she has treated various orthopedic and neurological conditions. Dr. Har-El has deepened her understanding of pain mechanisms through studies in psychology and dance/movement therapy. She believes that effective healthcare requires recognizing the connection between physical symptoms and mental states. This insight led her to create body-mind approaches that integrate therapeutic exercises with movement therapy, breathing techniques, and relaxation practices. Teaching and Contributions From 2009 to 2018, Dr. Har-El served as a Clinical Assistant Professor at The State University of New York, where she taught future therapists about body-mind awareness and the RiVision Method. She is also an active lecturer at professional events for therapists and educators. In 2016, she published "Moving Pain Away - RiVision: An Innovative Physical Therapy Method" and founded the RiVision Healing Center in New York in 2015.
