About
Soma is the Greek word for "A body living in its wholeness"
OUR MOTTO
"IF PAIN CAN BE ‘TURNED UP’ IT CAN ALSO BE ‘TURNED DOWN’".
What we know about pain? It can be physical but also biological, psychological and socio-environmental (BPS model). We know, pain and damage are not equated, because one can exist without the other. Pain is rarely solely local in origin, and always part of a bigger picture. Some pain responses are often learned behaviours or habitual responses to past trauma and other triggers. Pain is an output as much as an input, totally dependent on context, all measurements are subjective and need to be properly assessed. We believe that if pain can be turned up it can also be turned down.
Perhaps it’s best not to let yourself go beyond the point of being able to do something about it by treating yourself to a session at SOMA.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
"WE CAN HELP YOU FEEL BETTER"
On your first session, our mission is to listen to you. You understand your pain or problem better than anyone else. Then together we can try to solve any missing pieces to the puzzle of what it is that makes your brain ring the danger alarm. We then discuss your therapy plan, we agree on how we will proceed, treatment takes place and finally we send you off with adequate self care advice.
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE
“A SELF CARE JOURNEY IS NOT A ONE TIME STOP BY”
Maybe have in mind that having any therapy won't be a one time fix. You have probably spent years building up bad habits, to create a problem. Do you really think it will take one hour to fix it?
Here at SOMA we offer evidence based therapy. That means we need your full participation and commitment to the therapeutic process. We can only facilitate in reducing your symptoms by giving you the science and the tools to use, but you are the main driver and you are in control of your own vehicle.
We promise to help alleviate symptoms with the right type of therapy for you, but if what you need is not within our remit, we will refer you on. Your health and safety is our priority.
