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 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 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.

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 was a patient at SOMA Sport & Physio for 8 months following a motorcycle accident, sustaining serious injuries to my left ankle. What would have been a long and exhausting recovery, became a positive and motivating experience due to the incredible attention to detail, welcoming staff and environment, and positive results from treatment. Dr. Ki Cheng is great. Just a couple weeks in and there was visible progression. My sessions were split between 30 minutes of manual therapy, and 30 minutes of exercises (with a designated trainer). The exercises were definitely the hardest part of my overall recovery, but Ki would assign different exercises each session to give some variety and keep me motivated. He would also give me helpful advice and assign exercises to do at home on my own time. I've tried a few physical therapy places prior to SOMA, but decided on SOMA because all the staff members really care about each patient's recovery and results.

When I was pregnant I somehow developed frozen shoulder in both shoulders. Not only was it incredibly painful, I wasn’t able to sleep on my side which you’re supposed to do as the baby gets bigger (sleeping on your back can lead to risks when the baby is big), so I was really anxious for my shoulders to heal and I wasn’t making any progress with just doing PT on my own. I saw Julian as I had seen him previously for a ski injury and my knee healed well under Julian’s PT support. Julian not only had me do exercises but also did hands on manipulation of my shoulders — the sessions were super painful but after a few sessions I could feel the difference and my shoulders were gaining mobility. Julian’s dry humor helped lighten the mood and the PT assistants were great at adjusting to my needs in helping me do exercises and ice afterwards. It’s more expensive than other PTs and out of network with my insurance but so worth it — each 1 hour session here was so much more valuable than 2 30 min sessions at another practice. After a few months of sessions with him combined with massage therapy, I was healed just in time for my third trimester of pregnancy. I’m so grateful to Julian for what he did to accelerate my healing, and will go back for any other PT needs

I called up SSP and was able to get an appointment with physical therapist Anna Wong a few days later. Anna Wong was easy to talk to and along with the great staff, skillfully helped me with my back pain issues. When I later needed to get help with emergent shoulder rotator pain, they quickly assisted me with that as well. The combination of exercise, physical manipulation of the affected parts, and heated electro stimulation, I was soon on the road to better handle my physical issues.

I came to SOMA after having a pretty intense hip surgery (PAO), and I'm so grateful to have Anna as my PT, as well as Deji, Brian, Dani, and Jessica as my aides. Anna helped me go from sitting on a wheelchair and fearful of taking a step, to confidently using crutches, to being able to walk for 3 blocks like a normal person. Their exercises were personalized and helpful, and their staff is super friendly and caring. I can't thank SOMA enough and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a good PT!
