Since I gained so much weight, I'm suffering from back pain, so I decided to go to physical therapy. I started exercising with Yelena Vaynshtok, since I was very satisfied with my daughter's treatment of scoliosis. I'm doing stretching, breathing, balancing. So far, so good. She listens to my complain and gives me exercises that I'm able to complete. Y.V is helpful and truly interested in my well being and care.

After being diagnosed with scoliosis, we have been told by doctor that nothing helps. Now I know for sure, that Schroth therapy works!!! So after searching for a therapist for treatment of scoliosis, I'm very satisfied with Yelena Vayunstok. She explained what our sessions will be like, very friendly, professional, caring, and knowledgeable instructor. We saw improvement after few visits and itt's getting better after each sessio.

Dr. Elena Vaynshtok is an amazing physical therapist. My friend recommended that I go to her because I was experiencing muscle stiffness and I wanted to learn ways I could use functional movement to increase my strength, mobility, and stability. At first, I was going to the gym thinking that if I worked out I would feel better. When I met Dr. Vaynshtok, she had changed my life, hands down! I have increased my strength and stability since I have been working with her, and my knee pain has subsided. On top of that, she taught me home exercises that I incorporate in my daily routine, so I can achieve my goals. I would recommend her to all of my friends and family!

During the Covid-19 quarantine, I feel its essential to have online training options. Dr. Vayshtok came up with an effective and efficient program to teach online pilates classes. Her classes have helped me improve my balance stability. While working remotely, sitting for many hours on a chair, I found these classes being very effective for my posture and blood circulation, especially around my neck. Even after our first pilates section, I felt relieved around my neck muscles.
Prior to quarantine, I used to come to Dr. Vaynshtok’s office to treat my lower back pain. We were able fix the problem, by improving my flexability. I have known Dr. Vayshtok for more then a decade and can attest that her professionalism and dedication to find the best treatment is beyond any expectation.
I truly recommend to be treated one-on-one with Dr. Vaynshtok.

Dr. Vanyshtok is an excellent physical therapist. I was experiencing shoulder and lower back pain due to the nature of my work sitting in front of a computer for hours. Through therapy and exercise I feel significantly better and my posture has improved. Highly recommend

I got treated by Dr. Vaynshtok on multiple occasions during the last decade.
She took care of many of my sports injuries, from sprang ankles, to upper and lower spine nerve impingement, to post-operative rehab (bicep reattachment), not to mention periodic visits for PT of my whole back, which has been a big problem for me, for years.
One of her biggest assets that makes her stand out from many other pros in the med field is that she understands physiology first-hand, not just from studying books but from knowing her own body, since she has been doing her own athletics for years.
Simply put: she is an expert of her craft that is hard to beat. She is like a trusted attorney or CPA that you want to keep around for life, during good times and bad times, because she knows your history and give a very personal care, if you need one. That is Dr. Vaynshok.

I brought my daughter, who is a professional competitive gymnast, to Dr. Vaynshtok after she received an injury during the practice. Dr. Vaynshtok knew exactly how to heal the injury fast and professional. As the matter of fact, my daughter liked the doctor so much that she continued to visit the doctor for checkups even after the rehabilitation was alone. I would highly recomend Dr. to visit Vaynshtok to anyone who is in the professional sport.
