- General Info
- Dr. Rivi Belach Har-El has over 32 years of experience treating people with chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders. She graduated as a registered physical therapist from the internationally renowned Wingate Institute in 1983. In 1991, she received her Master’s Degree in Dance/Movement Therapy from Hunter College. In 2000, Dr. Rivi received her PhD in Physical Therapy from New York University. While pursuing her academic education she worked in both Israel and the US. Her extensive work background included acute care, rehabilitation and outpatient department in hospital settings. She treated people who suffered from various orthopedic and neurological conditions (e.g., low back pain, neck pain, scoliosis, and frozen shoulder), repetitive stress injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome, poor posture) and various chronic orthopedic conditions. Throughout her career she enhanced her knowledge of pain in all its manifestations by studying psychology and dance/movement therapy, and by exposing herself to various integrated forms of chronic pain treatment. She then came to understand that health caregivers need to be able to relate a patient’s symptoms to what is happening simultaneously in their body and mind. This realisation led her to develop the RiVision™ method. Dr. Rivi is a Clinical Assistant Professor at State University of New York-Downstate Medical Center, where she teaches future therapists how to utilize body-mind awareness and the RiVision method. Dr. Rivi has authored a book entitled Moving Pain Away - RiVision: An Innovative Physical Therapy Method (in press). She is the founder of RiVision Healing Center in New York.
