Proper splints and orthoses are essential to the rehabilitation process. That's why we offer a custom splints/orthoses service, designed to help you recover from hand injuries and conditions.
About this Treatment

Getting you back to a healthier you

Our skilled hand therapists work closely with your physician to create a personalized splint wearing protocol that meets your unique needs and goals. We use thermoplastic, a low-heat malleable plastic that contours to your body and hardens to provide support and protection.

Our hand therapists will ensure that your custom splints fit well and are comfortable to wear. We also make adjustments as necessary to accommodate changes in treatment protocols, swelling, and motion throughout your rehabilitation.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
