We are located in the culturally diverse and lively Mission district of San Francisco.

Depending on the individual circumstances, you will receive the following manual treatments: soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point release, strain/counter-strain, joint mobilizations, IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), MFD (Myofacial Decompression, AKA "cupping"), neural mobilizations, assisted stretching and more. Additionally, we provide holistic naturopathic healthcare advice that will optimize the healing journey. This advice can include dietary changes, supplements and herbs, and lifestyle changes specific to your needs.

Experience in Alleviating Chronic Pain

If you are suffering from chronic pain (especially neck/back/pelvic pain), there are deeper level of healing that needs to occur to create more ease and eliminate pain. With each subsequent session, we will peel the onion layers by integrating somatic therapies to get to the root cause, that keeps you imprisoned in the chronic pain cycle. Deep empathetic compassionate care will be offered each session to help you unravel your chronic cycle, and help you develop awareness, mindfulness, self-compassion, so that your body can let go of the painful layers and ease into life again.

Low-Level (Cold) Laser Therapy

Somatic Nature Physical Therapy and Wellness has acquired an Avant LZ30 Pro Z laser to provide Low-Level Laser Therapy (also known as cold laser therapy). Studies in peer-reviewed journals have shown that this advanced treatment has the potential to reduce pain, shorten recovery time, and improve outcome. Laser light can induce photobiomodulatory effect on cells, enhancing the process of tissue repair. Low Level Laser Treatment is an exciting novel technology that has application in many areas of medicine and dentistry and we embrace any new studies that can safely contribute to the patients' well-being and healing.
