Optimal Form & Function is a one-on-one physical therapy practice in Teaneck dedicated to helping people move better, feel stronger, and get back to the activities they love. We specialize in personalized rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical recovery—combining hands-on care with progressive exercise and clear, measurable goals.
Led by Michael Formisano, PT, DPT, OCS, with 20 years of clinical experience, our approach is rooted in evidence-based practice and advanced orthopedic expertise. As an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), Dr. Form provides a thorough evaluation to identify the true drivers of pain and limitation, then builds an individualized plan that targets mobility, strength, movement quality, and long-term resilience.
Services include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, movement retraining, and dry needling (when appropriate) to reduce pain, improve tissue mobility, and accelerate recovery. Whether you’re dealing with back or neck pain, shoulder or knee issues, sports injuries, or recovering after surgery, you’ll receive focused, unrushed care designed around your goals—not a cookie-cutter protocol.
At Optimal Form & Function, every visit is centered on you—your story, your needs, and your progress—so you can return to life with confidence and stay active for the long haul.
