SOMA Sport & Physio

I have only nice to say about the whole SOMA Physio team. From the front desk, to my PT and all the aides. My PT was Anna and she was so lovely. We had many great conversations and I felt so well taken care of. My aides Deji, Brian, Dani, Jessica, and Priscilla were all so knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely recommend SOMA Sport and Physio to everyone!

I am so grateful I found SOMA Sport & Physio! I worked with Anna and she was so phenomenal. Cannot recommend her highly enough! I got a strained calf during my training program for my first half marathon and I was really concerned I may not be able to be back in running shape in the 6 weeks before the race. But Anna quickly got me back to running without pain and helped support me and get me stronger throughout my training. I feel way better than I could have expected going in! The whole office is a really great training environment and the team is very skilled and competent. I was very sad to move away and not be able to keep going!

I had a double surgery on my knee from a soccer injury: ACL reconstruction and menisectomy within a span of 1 year. I consulted with Dr. Anna for 6 months and she was excellent in her approach to getting me back into sports! It is a very friendly, helpful, and vibrant atmosphere and I greatly enjoyed my recovery here. I have been to several other physical therapy clinics around SF, but believe SOMA physio has the right balance of massages, conditioning, face time with the PT doctor and a patient-centric exercise plan to bring someone back to fitness. I am also very grateful to the entire team and PT aids around Dr. Anna (Brian, Jennifer, Deji, Priscilla) who were super easy to work with, constantly helped correct my form, and supported me throughout the process - highly recommend this place for anyone needing PT!

I went in with chest/shoulder/back pain from weight lifting. I got some help in terms of massage and exercises but I got the impression that they were just guessing and/or looking for a quick fix rather than actually diagnosing and fixing the root cause. Follow-up sessions were mostly doing exercises with a junior person that didn’t have the full context and an electric pulse machine that I had to ask for an explanation. Now I’m self treating because I didn’t feel like I was getting good value for my money and didn’t see much progress.

I’ve been to SOMA a few times in the past several years. Each time they have been excellent and sorted me out. Most recently I saw Ivy Xie because I had a lot of pain in my lower back. Ivy resolved the issue for me in a few visits. I highly recommend both SOMA and Ivy.

I dislocated my shoulder last September and my doctor referred me to SOMA sport and physio. The staff and my PT doctor are very friendly, patient and helpful. With their help and treatment, I was able to get back to normal activity sooner than I expected. Strongly recommend.

Worth every penny. This was my first experience with physiotherapy and I was skeptical and nervous but this team knows what they’re doing. Not only are they skilled, honest, straightforward and knowledgeable, but they are so easy to be around. I felt very comfortable and at ease during every session. They created such an encouraging and hospitable environment which put all my fears and insecurities at bay. I already miss my weekly sessions. 10/10 recommend Dr Julian who’s one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. And have I mentioned his adorable therapy dog Scout?

I came to SOMA Sports & Physio last year after surgery on a fully ruptured Achilles tendon. I was warned by my surgeon that this recovery would be a long road and he was right. Thankfully with SOMA S&P, my 11 months of recovery flew by. Dr. Ki Cheng is a great PT. Endlessly patient and very kind, I always looked forward to my sessions with him! He was very attentive, knowledgeable and really personalized my treatment plan to fit my progress by giving a variety of exercises to keep things interesting. He always answered any questions I had (which were a lot), gave me exercises to do on my own and kept me accountable (in a very friendly manner) to make sure I progressed. When I hit a plateau in my recovery, he was supportive and encouraged me to keep at it which then led to rapid improvement and progression. On top of being a great PT, he is fun and easy to talk with and I really enjoyed learning about him and his life. I worked with Dr. Julian a couple of sessions too and he was equally as great, kind and friendly! All the PT aids I worked with were great too! The PT aids were extremely helpful by demonstrating the exercises, making sure my form was correct and giving pointers to make sure I was doing everything functionally correct. Thank you to Brian, Jen, Dani, Nate, Ivy, Stephen and all the other aids I worked with (and of course Scout :D) All in all, I highly recommend SOMA S&P if you are in need of physical therapy. I would not have recovered to the level I am at without their help! Although SOMA S&P was the more expensive option since it was out of network with my insurance, I believe the price I paid to be pretty much at the level I was pre-injury was definitely worth it. If I get another injury (I really hope I do not) SOMA S&P will be my first choice again! Thank you to the SOMA S&P team- I will miss seeing you all every week! :)

I can't say enough great things about SOMA sport & physio. Dr Julian and the entire team are wonderful. This was my first experience with PT - previously I'd just muddled through running injuries on my own. It was such a game changer to have a professional team help me through. If you're considering PT - do it, and do it here! Julian helped me balance recovery with my race goals. I'm so grateful for the care I received here! I hope I don't have another injury, but if I do, I know exactly where I'll come for support :)

Have seen multiple PTs here (Dr Ivy and Crystal) and always appreciate their knowledge and helping me understand what's going on with my body. It's clear they know their stuff and I always leave feeling physically relieved and more informed.
