Soma Therapy
Soma Therapy is a comprehensive therapy strategy that incorporates nutrition, rehabilitative exercise, and hands-on treatment. A practitioner treats only with his hands, using precision and thoughtfulness, to assist the patient in addressing and improving underlying physical ailments. In this way, a Soma Therapist is the ‘mechanic of the human body.’
The Body as a Machine
To understand how our therapeutic approach works let’s take the analogy of another complex machine- a car. Imagine seeing the engine light come up on the dashboard of your car. One solution to the pesky light on your dash would be to cover it up with electrical tape- but that doesn’t solve the underlying problem, it only masks the warning light. Too often, medical treatments revolve around masking symptoms in this manner. Medication taken to treat chronic symptoms only masks the crucial signals their bodies are trying to give them. They treat the symptoms (the warning light on the dash) rather than solving the real issue of discovering what might be causing the problem (why the engine is failing).
Understanding “Why”
Knowing the cause, or ‘why,’ of the symptoms is the primary focus of the Soma Therapist. This approach means doing the detective work of solving what is causing these warning symptoms from a patient’s body. The therapist will identify the source of the problem and either fix the underlying issue or provides a personalized plan for a patient to follow on how to fix the issue. The symptoms that the patient is experiencing should disappear once the underlying issue is rectified.
The human body is a very complex system and when it "breaks down" a Soma Therapist can carry out a careful and logical analysis to detect the ORIGIN of the problem. The Soma Therapist will look at the affected human body as a whole structure- a different approach from what is accepted as standard care. After the origins of the patient's pain have been identified, an Soma Therapist carries out specifically adapted manual, exercise, or nutritional therapies, which will allow the patient to recover. Soma Therapy is an approach that recognizes that treating the body is as much art as it is science.

“The Soma Therapy Method” be used as a complement to other medical treatments. Patients who have already undergone surgical procedures can seek treatment during their recovery process and beyond. Treatments can also be used in addition to chemical, substitutive or palliative treatments, and pathologies which are normally out of its range of care.
