How it works
Not simply massage.
Precision pain solving.
PNMT is assessment-driven. Our therapists are clinical detectives, finding the source of your pain instead of just chasing symptoms.
Your care isn't shaped by one therapist, the whole Somavida team is behind your treatment plan.
01
Assess
Orthopedic testing and precise soft tissue evaluation to differentiate muscular, nerve or fascial pain.
02
Treat
Precision, not pressure. Targeted soft-tissue work on the source. Never a generic full-body routine.
03
Refine
Continual assessments prove whether treatment is working. If it doesn't, we change strategy.

Reviews
Stories of pain relief,
in their words.
I went in for treatment with a healthy dose of skepticism that the TMJ treatment would help with my reoccurring tension headaches. I have been SO pleased with my results after working with Liz and Jackie. My tension headaches and jaw tightness have improved considerably! Highly recommend this treatment.
Being pain free for the first time in five years has been an incredible experience that I do not take lightly. I have worked mostly with David, have had one session with Stephan and briefly interacted with Yu at my first appointment. All three are wonderfully concise with their treatment plans, and what to expect during the process. I have had terrible TMJ pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia for years and have finally found the one thing that can help me get through the day and feeling like a normal human. Gentle and yet intense somehow in the best way, I highly recommend!
I was not sure how effective trigger point work could be long term for my persistent jaw and neck issues. Let me tell you…it works and it LASTS. I went from having daily headaches and near-constant neck tension to those two issues becoming rare events. Jackie is fantastic and set my treatment plan effectively. David…can’t say enough good things. He’s kind, exacting in his approach, and puts you at ease. And did I mention this treatment works? So happy I gave this a try. I can’t recommend Somavida highly enough.
