Myofascial Release Therapy In Hillsborough NJ
Perfect Formation’s trained therapists in Hillsborough NJ offer a wide variety of Physical Therapy services designed to address Myofascial Pain
What is Myofascial Release?
To understand what Myofascial Release is, we first need to know what Fascia is. Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up.
Myofascial Release treatment, sometimes referred to as “Trigger Point Therapy”, is specialized body work. Treatment involves deep tissue pressure to relieve tension and restrictions that can be causing pain. Through tissue memory and repair, restrictions and adhesions form in the soft tissue of the body. These areas cause a pull on other areas of body or at the location of initial injury. This series of tensions causes pain and decreased function.
Myofascial Release works to regain the natural state of the body by eliminating the restrictions throughout the body, and unwinding the web of intricate steps causing the pain. Myofascial Release is a full body treatment that can assist with the following conditions:
- Neck & Back Pain
- Bladder problems
- Bulging disc
- Bursitis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Endometriosis
- Frozen Shoulder
- Headaches
- Infertility
- Pelvic Pain
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Pudendal nerve entrapment
- Scars
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Shin splints
- Tennis elbow
- TMJ treatment
- Whiplash
What Kind Of Symptoms Should I Look Out For?
Determining whether your pain is due to muscles, joints or fascia can be difficult. In general, muscle injuries and joint problems feel worse the more you move. Fascia adhesions tend to feel better with movement and also respond well to heat therapy. If in doubt, give us a call to schedule an appointment to help decide if Myofascial Release Therapy would be right for you.

Trustindex 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!

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!

Trustindex 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.

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.

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!!

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.

Trustindex 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.
