TMJ Therapy

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is vital to your daily life, as it plays a crucial role in eating, chewing, and speaking. If you are experiencing temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), this may manifest as pain or difficulty moving your jaw–all of which SOMA can handle.

Testimonials

Trusted health every step of the way

This place was really incredible…

This place was really incredible. Quiet, clean and well thought out office. The physical therapists were so attentive to your needs and were truly there to find whatever issue you had and work through it. I had only had the pleasure of a few physical therapy sessions because my issues were solved quickly but in the time that I did spend there it was used wisely. Not only were the therapists down to earth and nice but they didn’t waste a moments time trying to fix my issue. I hope my issue never comes back but if it does I know there is a place I can definitely go to. Thanks

I’m happy to say I’m finally back to 100%…

The entire team here is incredibly helpful, friendly, thoughtful, and most importantly committed to your recovery. I came in to treat a shoulder injury I had been dealing with for a year that had been difficult to diagnose and which had not responded well to prior treatment. George worked with me to continuously adopt my treatment plan based on my stubborn shoulder with the ultimate goal of getting me back to all physical activities like sports and the gym I’ve been trying and failing to get back to at full strength. With George’s treatment and instruction I’m happy to say I’m finally back to 100%.

They really care about their patients, excellent care…

They really care about their patients, excellent care! Without them I would not be able to walk again, after my ankle surgery.. I definitely recommend for anyone who needs PT go to Soma thank you so much guys!

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

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.

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.

I highly recommend SOMA…

I highly recommend SOMA Physical & Occupational Therapy for both injury recovery and prevention! After a month of treatment for my minor meniscus tear, I’ve noticed such a big difference. The sessions have really improved my pain, strength, and mobility but what makes it even better is the environment and the staff. George, Dom, and Monina are an absolute A-team. The space feels calm, welcoming, and nothing like a typical medical office. The team is attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in their patients’ progress. They listen to your goals, your concerns, and pay close attention to what you need. I always leave feeling better both physically and mentally, and I actually look forward to my sessions as a time to heal and strengthen.
