I’ve been seeing Rivi Har-el for over a decade and for all that time, as someone with Parkinson’s, I’ve been immensely helped by our once-a-week sessions. As you know, there are many symptoms associated with Parkinson’s And Rivi’s global approach to the body Has been a godsend. Most physical therapists I have worked with rely heavily on machinery and focus on the eradication of the main symptom of the Prescription; Rivi addresses the whole body and I believe it is because of her holistic approach that am still high functioning and a source of wonder to my other doctors , including my neurologist. I am 85 and until recently was Chair of my department at Columbia. Apart from the very real physical benefits I’d have to add that Rivi’s spirit has been an important factor in her treatment. Her knowledge of the body is extraordinary and each visit transformative. Lis Harris lisharris@columbia.edu Read more

As someone that asks a lot from my body, I am always looking for ways to support it and my session was Dr. Rivi was just what I needed. I love her holistic approach in weaving in physical therapy, music, guided imagery and healing light exercises. My body responded so beautifully and I felt like I was floating during and after my appointment. I can't recommend Dr. Rivi enough for anyone experiencing pain or discomfort or just someone that wants to support/maintain their wellbeing. It is a maintenance practice for me given how much I ask of my body! Read more

I have a lot of achiness and inflammation from fibromyalgia and she is the only therapist who has been able to treat me effectively. She is extremely intuitive and often starts working on a problem area before I’ve even told her where the problem is. I came to her after fruitlessly trying many other therapists. Dr Rivi Har-El uses many different methods. She intuitively knows what the patient needs. For my specific needs, she has used in-person and long distance energy, guided imagery, dance therapy, and hands-on gentle manual manipulation hands. When I first came to her, my achiness had been so intense that that for many months I could not be touched. Dr Rivi Har-El started with energy from about a foot and a half away because any closer I would scream out in pain. Dr Rivi Har-El’s energy is palpable, even though I had my eyes closed, I could always feel exactly where on my body she was working. As her work improved me, very slowly over many weeks, she was able to move closer and closer until, for the first time in a long time, i could be touched without whimpering in pain. Read more
