Physical Therapy For Dancers, Gymnasts, Skaters & Performing Arts
Optimize Performance, Prevent Injury and Fix Pain.
Physical Therapy for injury prevention, recovery, and rehabilitation in Central NJ
Performing Artists need a 'little extra' during their rehabilitation process to return to their level of expertise.
Having someone who understands the demands of the field and the language allow the artist to heal with greater ease. Dancers and performers find it easier to express what is happening with their body to a professional who understands their body and what demands they place on it.
The therapists at PFPT have backgrounds in competitive gymnastics and dance. They work with the technique and the skills each dancer and performer has learned to return them to their level of performance. We understand the need to be on stage as soon as possible and will work with you to achieve you performance and competitive goals.

EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews james bunceAugust 21, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On my first visit to Perfect Formation, I walked in using a cane. Serious hip and knee problems had developed over the years, and I was wondering if my condition was permanent. After a 90-minute evaluation and a few weeks of treatment, I had ditched the cane and was learning to correct my walk to keep injuries at bay. No small thing, that turnaround, and done so naturally that it's sometimes easy to miss the depth of knowledge and the extent of skills required to bring about such healing. One of the more striking things I learned quickly is how well the therapists listen and how well they create individualized treatment for each patient, pacing the therapy according to each patient's needs. The atmosphere Dr. Corrine Sicola creates in her studio is one of determined treatment and light-hearted joy. The place is quite often full of people of all ages who commiserate with each other and their therapists about their various aches, pains, injuries---even sharing stories of their life journeys---while working their way to feeling better---and quite often laughing about it. It is a place where you learn to relax in a judgement-free zone, trust therapists to do their work, and be fearless when feeling pain, if any, in the healing process. Doctor Corrine and her staff clearly have what it takes to help people move better through their daily lives---and the "stim" treatment is great! :-) If you need physical therapy, I recommend that you go to Perfect Formation! Matthew SJuly 15, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best PT studio in the area. A diamond in the rough. Corinne and her staff are very thorough and meticulous. They are not concerned with metrics or a corporate model like most outpatient PT studios. This place is patient centric and privately owned. They have the most dedicated staff and PT students who care. Highly recommend! Michalina JerniganJuly 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PERfect FORmation is hands down the best physical therapy office in the Hillsborough area. Dr. Corinne and her staff always prioritize the needs of every patient and never dismiss any concerns that they may have. The environment is relaxed and inviting, encouraging individuals to work towards achieving their physical goals with constant guidance from trained professionals. PERfect FORMation also differs from other offices because treatment includes manual work alongside an exercise plan that is customized for each patient depending on their needs. Dr. Corinne is extremely knowledgable and is constantly coming up with new innovative ways to help patients return to a pain free lifestyle. Dr. Corinne is also very accommodating and always has availability to see patients when they need her the most. Most importantly, the staff prioritizes every individual, meaning that every concern and question is heard and acknowledged. Therefore, if you need physical therapy for any sort of injury PERfect FORMation is the way to go. Carmen ValverdeNovember 19, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In my opinion, Corinne is a genious. She does a thorough evaluation of the problem causing pain and customizes a treatment plan with personally designed exercises designed for the patient's unique needs. She understands and appreciates the movement requirements of a broad variety of activities of daily living, sports, ballet, gymnastics, and ballroom dancing. Nathan BohachJuly 28, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simply the best! I am a musician and came in with hand numbness which is scary because that’s my livelihood. They have helped so much. High quality care and they don’t just throw you on a treadmill and hope for the best. Ever session contains hands on deep tissue massage that actually works. They will also address other pain than what you came in for if needed. I can say my posture is better and I feel better! I used to see a specialist in NYC who specialized in musicians and I can say that Perfect Formation is every bit as good and it’s in NJ!! Denice SwedbergMay 17, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is absolutely the best PT place in Hillsborough and I have been to quite a few in the 11 years I have lived here. The owner has created a very friendly, family-like atmosphere filled with very caring people that are focused on not only getting you better but teaching you how to not hurt yourself going forward. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a personal dedicated staff that care about getting you better. Lisa WahlFebruary 17, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Corinne and her staff are amazing and so helpful. They take the time to listen to your concerns, aches and pains and really try to work them out. Corinne goes above and beyond to help you feel your best. Steve GalatisFebruary 10, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used Perfect Formation for 4 different issues over the years. They consistently provide high-quality, highly-professional therapy -- in a friendly atmosphere. They're very knowledgeable and I know that some aspects of my therapy have come out of brainstorming sessions involving the whole staff. And, I usually get a laugh or two to go with the therapy, which I love. Liza O'BessoFebruary 3, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly environment, definitely seen results with treatment
