Ergonomics

Ergonomics is essential to promoting optimal health and well-being in the workplace and at home. It is the scientific discipline that focuses on understanding the interactions between humans and their environment. Our team of experienced SOMA therapists apply this theory, principles, data, and methods when it comes to designing solutions that optimize human performance and well-being.

Testimonials

Trusted health every step of the way

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.

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.

We’ve seen so much progress…

SOMA has been absolutely wonderful! Everyone here is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. They’ve done an amazing job helping my dad with his recovery — we’ve seen so much progress thanks to their dedication and expertise. They make scheduling appointments and handling insurance things so easy. We truly couldn’t have found a better facility. Highly recommend!

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.

This really helped set my recovery to a great start…

ACL full recovery- I started with George a month before my ACL surgery and I was able to reach full range of motion right before surgery as suggested by my surgeon. This really helped set my recovery to a great start. ACL recovery is painful in the beginning but working along George made it easy to understand the different stages I was in and I saw improvement through every session. I had some set backs along the way like tendinitis but that was nothing George couldn’t help me get through. I’m now fully recovered and so thankful for George’s help.

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

Team of friends helping you…

If you’re looking for a physical therapy spot that feels more like a team of friends helping you get back on track, this is it. Natan, George, Dominick, and Costa, were absolute pros—knowledgeable, attentive, and always made sure I felt like the focus was truly on my recovery. Not only did they push me to get stronger, but they also kept the vibe light, fun and entertaining. You’ll actually enjoy coming in, which says a lot for physical therapy! Huge shoutout to Monina and Jessie at the front desk—these ladies are the real MVPs. Super welcoming, friendly, and always made the place feel warm and positive from the moment I walked in.

This is the place to go…

I am a blind person and amazingly have not always had great experiences when visiting a doctor or physical therapist’s office as I am a guide dog handler. I do not write a lot of reviews, but feel I had to as my experience with Soma PT from my first phone call to every visit to their office has been fantastic. From an accessible intake form for blind screen reader users, to the entire staff at the front desk, to their physical therapists, all my experiences have been first class and amazing. Additionally, the treatment has been first class. If you are in the Astoria area and need a physical therapist this is the place to go. I actually will be sad when my PT ends as I love the entire staff so much.
