Balancing exercises with a physical therapist

BPPV/Vertigo

We see it time and time again—how disruptive and uncomfortable the symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) can be. BPPV is a common cause of vertigo, which can lead to feelings of dizziness, nausea, lightheadedness, and unsteadiness. At SOMA, we’ve been trained to deal with this condition with a variety of treatments.
About this Treatment

Getting you back to feeling yourself

Our physical therapists are here to help you find relief from your symptoms. We use a series of specialized head movements to shift the particles in your ear that are causing your symptoms and restore your sense of equilibrium.

In addition to treating BPPV, we also offer a comprehensive balance program designed to help reduce feelings of unsteadiness and minimize the risk of falls. Our goal is to help you regain your confidence and improve your quality of life.

Trusted health every step of the way

Successfully completed my first marathon…

From my first appointment, the entire team was incredibly kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to get to know me and my goals, and subsequently guided me through a tailored rehab plan focused on both strength and flexibility. Thanks to their expert care, I was not only able to recover, but I successfully completed my first marathon!! Every therapist and staff member I interacted with was considerate, encouraging, and truly invested in my progress. I’m incredibly grateful for their help and support throughout my recovery. I highly recommend going to SOMA!

Hidden gem in Astoria…

SOMA is a hidden gem in Astoria that more people need to know about! George and his team are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and really take the time to get to know each patient. The facility is also really clean. I highly recommend SOMA for anyone who needs physical therapy!

Everybody there is warm and welcoming and extremely compassionate…

I was so lucky to find SOMA PT/OT after a terrible accident to my hand. Everybody there is warm and welcoming and extremely compassionate. The vibe in the whole place is relaxed yet dedicated to helping each individual and their needs. Specifically, my occupational therapist, Costa, has a natural ability to focus in and address the unique problem that requires help in the moment. I know I progressed for the better because of his expertise and desire to be beneficial. The second you walk in and meet Monina (a doll!) at the front desk, you know you’re in the best hands

They will make you feel like family…

Everyone is absolutely amazing at SOMA Physical Therapy. From the front desk to the therapists themselves, they will make you feel like family. They put very special care and attention into everyone that walks in there. In the time I’ve been there, I have strengthened and learned some of the simplest ways to improve my injury. They are definitely a place I will be referring any family or friends to go to if they ever need physical/occupational therapy done.

Extremely professional and knowledgeable…

Costa was extremely professional and knowledgeable with my diagnosis. I had a great time working with him and he made sure I attained the goals we set up together. It was easy to set up an appointment, which they also accommodated in short notice. The office has a positive atmosphere and I look forward to working with him again.

Sold on SOMA right away…

I was looking for a PT spot in my neighborhood in advance of a surgery and was sold on SOMA right away. Very clean facility. The folks at the desk take care of business. The therapists are very knowledgeable and everything you do with them is with care and intent. They explain why you’re doing what you’re doing with patience. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended Soma…

Highly Recommend Soma! I have been working with George to help recover from an IT band injury and his help has been life saving. George is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable. He really takes the time to explain and educate his patients to ensure a smooth path to recovery. Absolutely love this place and have already referred several friends.

I love Soma…

I love Soma!!! Came with tendinitis on both rotator cuffs, and Dominick was an earth angel who helped heal them! He and the rest of the crew are so patient and friendly, and tolerate all my questions about the human body. The facility is modern, clean, well-designed with lots of sunlight and new equipment. Jessie & Monina are dream admins who made scheduling and insurance stuff so simple.
