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 Fascitis
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.

  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.

  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!!

  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.

  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.

  Initial Review: Absolute best PT experience I've ever had, and thanks to being clumsy and accident prone, I have a ton of experience in going to PT.

Update for another injury: Fixed me right back up again. The staff here is truly amazing. Wish I could give more than 5 stars! I recommend this place to all my runner friends.

  The therapists at PERfect FORMation are hands-on, giving truly individual attention. Dr. Corrine and her team  do an amazing job of helping patients feel progress right from the start in a welcoming and relaxing environment. I especially appreciate the attention they provide in educating patients about how they're working  specific muscles and what they'll be doing over the course of the entire treatment to prevent future issues.
