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.

I’m so glad I picked SOMA…

I’m so glad I picked SOMA for my physical therapy following an ankle injury. George has been so helpful when it comes to helping me understand my injury, prescribing helpful exercises/stretches and encouraging me during my treatment journey! You can tell both George and Costa really care about everyone they treat. Highly recommend!

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 would highly recommend George and the practice in general…

I tore my ACL playing soccer. I started sessions with George pre and post op. He showed great support and compassion especially post op when pain was at its peak. He is very knowledgeable. He was excited to work with me and to get me better. I would highly recommend George and the practice in general; he is outstanding!!

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!

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.

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.

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.
