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.

Trusted health every step of the way

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

I love Soma…

I love Soma. It’s so pleasant. Clean, Clean, Clean. The work they are doing on my left leg and side is phenomenal. I find it fun even through the pain of working out.

Would highly recommend to anyone l have the opportunity to speak with…

My experience at SOMA has been way above and beyond any reasonable expectations. Staff is exceptional, both therapists are excellent professionals as well as caring individuals. Extremely satisfied with my results after only two weeks. Just amazing progress in a very short period of time. Would highly recommend to anyone l have the opportunity to speak with.

George has worked wonders on knee…

I started coming to Soma in June of this year with a torn MCL. George has worked wonders on knee. Very mindful and considerate on how much to push forward without aggravating the injury. New exercises weekly to strengthen the knee and post surgery this has definitely helped. The other part which is great is that they’re super helpful on accommodating to your schedule and very helpful with dealing with the insurance companies. It’s an overall great experience I’m very happy that I found them.

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%.

The therapy has been amazing…

I came to SOMA for a meniscus tear. The therapy has been amazing and I feel better after just a few weeks. I highly recommend SOMA to anyone.

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!
