Joel Olsen, Myotherapist
"My career as a fashion stylist has always involved carrying a lot of Garments and shopping for clients. Several years ago I experienced frozen shoulder and sought help from Many 'recommended practitioners' and physiotherapists alike. Nothing helped; I was in constant pain, until I met Joel at Soma!
He was very careful to explain that I would need a few treatments close together for his work to be effective. Despite a little discomfort during those treatments, I have never looked back! I would always recommend a visit to Soma for anyone in pain Now!
What have you got to lose?
Pain!"

Anna, Myotherapist

I am writing to thank you for fixing the ‘knot’ in my right arm and shoulder. With your expert treatment and follow up exercises I can now lift my arm above my head. I should not be surprised though, because during the 10 years or so that you have been looking after me your thorough diagnosis, mobilization, and subsequent treatment have always felt right for me. Your understanding of bio mechanical movement with a friendly, courteous and professional approach is impressive

About us

Located in the beautiful suburb of Hawthorn, Soma Health and Wellness take pride in being recognised as one of Melbourne’s leading allied health care centers.

Soma Health and Wellness in Hawthorn was establish when Director, Anna Yerondais, recognised a need within the allied health industry for a centre that could offer a professional, high level of health care in an environment nothing short of pure tranquility. Soma Health and Wellness was established in May 2006 and has enjoyed bringing together a team of Allied Health care workers to support you through acute pain management, chronic pain care, determining health and wellbeing goals and simply offering a centre to ‘escape’ from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Constantly developing our skills as health care providers, our team have enjoyed over the years local business awards, national business nominations and are proud to be recognised for their service and care by many of Australia’s leading heath retreat destinations.

Our team of professionally trained practitioners value the importance of holistic care, taking into consideration environmental, lifestyle, emotional and physical factors they may affect health and wellbeing. All Soma practitioners are recognised members for the processing of  private health rebates with some services now accepted for Medicare benefits.

Your Soma experience begins with our friendly reception staff guiding you through to our lounge area, where you can enjoy complimentary herbal tea, or step outside and relax in the serene outdoor oasis. Your practitioner will greet you from this point to take you through to your consultation room - from here your health and wellbeing goals are determined and together you establish the right plan to achieve your desired goals.
