Fibromyalgia
Widespread pain that moves around, with deep fatigue and tenderness. Ordinary firm pressure tends to make it worse.
What it is
Fibromyalgia is a widespread pain condition where the body has become more sensitive to pain. PNMT can't cure it. Focused muscle work can sometimes ease the muscle pain and make daily life a little more comfortable, alongside your medical care.
What makes it worse
Heavy pressure, doing too much on a good day, poor sleep, stress, and flares all tend to make it worse. What counts as "too much" can change from week to week.
How PNMT helps
The work is gentle and precise, never deep. Your therapist stays well within your tolerance and focuses on the areas limiting you most. You lead every choice, and there's no fixed routine. Your therapist coordinates with your medical team, and if something outside muscle is driving your pain, they'll say so and keep that care connected.
What to expect & how long
This is ongoing care at your pace, without a set number of visits. The goal is steadier comfort and function. It isn't a cure. Each session is shaped by how your body feels that day.
What clients say
Sarah is amazing! She is both kind and great at helping to resolve chronic pain. My TMJ has improved so much with her care.
I've been going to soma vida for around 4-5 years. I think at this point for neuromuscular therapy. My coworker recommended it for my back pain. I mostly make appts with Yu, but I think I've had appts with everyone there atleast once. The treatment can be painful but I always come out feeling so light and so much better than before. I've had chronic neck pain from my desk job and other pain in areas that is only fixed by whatever they do here. They truly care about you and want to make sure you leave feeling better.
I've been going to Somavida for years because they are the only place I've found with the right combination of expertise and ability to eliminate pain when I have muscle pulls or strains, and help me stay “tuned up” to avoid future injuries. I spend most of my time working behind a desk and Somavida is a critical part of helping me stay healthy and out of injury from my strained neck and back. I personally work with Yu Suzuki and she is phenomenal. Truly a “pain detective” that has helped me find the root issue with muscle problems countless times. This is a place to come and heal and avoid future injury without medication or judgment. Can’t recommend Somavida enough!!!
