Soma Syntax Studio

I've been seeing Anne for several years to help deal with recurrent back pain as a byproduct of a herniated disk which led to back surgery. Anne is a magician of bodywork delving into a palette of therapeutic techniques that she has mastered and customizing her treatment not just by client but by session. So, she has both rescued me from both severe debilitating pain when i could barely walk into her office (and left walking normally) and also used Rolfing and Pilates to help with core strengthening/flexibility. I have recommended several friends who were in accidents or just struggling to find treatment that would actually work after various physical therapy efforts failed and they raved about the impact Anne had on them after only a couple sessions.

in the twenty years i have worked with anne i increased my body strength and corrected my posture.with the combination of pilates,bodywork and manuel therapy techniques i was able to develop better self-care skills to manage permanent damage and manage pain.i remain a client because she keeps adding on to her arsenal of techniques and refining existing techniques.

Anne is one of the best health and fitness professionals in the country. She draws on her experience as a professional dancer, on her gentle and kind personality, and an amazing amount of knowledge and sensitivity. Working with Anne on Pilates and the Swiss ball kept me in shape during my first pregnancy and after. My legs look about three inches longer after training with Anne, and my confidence is much much greater. If you want to work hard, but in a way that you can take out of the gym, Anne is your trainer. She explains every exercise in a way that increases your awareness of your body. I enjoy aerial dancing, and I know that working with Anne has really helped prevent injury. EVERY SERIOUS ATHLETE should train with this woman, she will help you remain injury free!

I have been going to Soma Syntax Studio since 2009/2010 after I injured my back which subsequently led to back surgery. Anne Sotelo came highly recommended by my Orthopedist. After each treatment my pain was relieved and as I improved Anne pushed me ( in the most gentile way) to expand my workouts. Anne's efforts are absolutely result oriented. I saw results and continued to improve. Last year I re-injured my back and immediately went to Anne who helped get me back on track and moving. I can't endorse Anne enough for all of her efforts and hard work in helping me rehabilitate my back injury. I've had some personal training with her and am working to expand my own efforts in my own well being. She's amazing...

Anne is such a special find and a wonderful soul. She puts extraordinary time and effort into each visit, really connecting with me, my body and my needs. I've seen her monthly for almost a year and I feel it is invaluable to my healing.

I found Anne at a crucial moment. The pain caused by 3 herniated cervical discs pressing into my spinal cord had stopped responding to epidural shots and i was getting closer to the dreaded surgery. Had been unable to sleep lying down for 6 months. Anne painstakingly unraveled the damage my years of high heels, children on my hip, oversized purses etc had wreaked and she did so in such a timely manner that i was sleeping lying down in less than a month, avoided the surgery, and have never had any back pain since. Not only did she rescue me from the cliff, she kindly taught me to correct any new problems as soon as they start, on my own with simple tools. Truly a healer, a teacher. She is extremely knowledgeable and stays current in her field. I am forever grateful and continue today to refer many friends to Anne.
