BACK PAIN PHYSICAL THERAPY ANN ARBOR
Get relief from chronic back pain and sciatica without relying on pills, injections, or surgery. Dr. Joe Olofsson specializes in personalized 1-on-1 physical therapy that addresses the root cause of your pain—so you can get back to lifting, running, playing with your kids, and living without limitation.
Tired of Living With Constant Back Pain?
You've tried everything—stretching, painkillers, generic PT sessions—but nothing seems to fix the problem. You're frustrated, exhausted, and worried that this pain is just something you'll have to live with.
Rushed, Generic Treatment
You've been to big-box PT clinics where sessions feel rushed, cookie-cutter, and impersonal. You're still in pain because no one took the time to understand what's really causing it.
Pills Instead of Solutions
​Your doctor prescribed pain medication but didn't address the root issue. You're left feeling defeated, searching for real answers instead of temporary relief.
Limited by Your Pain
Back pain is keeping you from doing what you love—working out, playing with your kids, even getting through your workday. You deserve to move freely again.

We use evidence-based manual therapy, dry needling, spinal manipulation, and targeted exercise to eliminate your back pain at the source.

"My primary care doctor recommended Dr. Joe to address a sciatic nerve issue, and I'm so glad he did. Dr. Joe quickly helped me improve my mobility and reduce my lower back pain with several different techniques. On a deeper level, Dr. Joe also gave me confidence, motivation, and knowledge to improve my health in the long run. Dr. Joe changed my perspective on what is possible and I highly recommend him to others."

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about physical therapy at OLO.
What can I expect during my first visit for shoulder pain?
We'll take you through the most thorough physical assessment to identify the source of your shoulder pain—whether it's a rotator cuff issue, impingement, frozen shoulder, or compensation from another area. Then we'll educate you on what needs to be done to get you back on track. Your first visit includes a free consultation, and we'll start developing your personalized treatment plan right away. Most patients begin feeling relief after the first session.
​
Do you accept insurance?
No, we operate on a cash-based model to provide the highest quality 1-on-1 care without insurance hassles or restrictions. You pay cash and ditch the insurance headaches, allowing us to focus entirely on your needs and goals. This means 60-minute sessions with Dr. Joe every time—no rotating staff, no rushed appointments, and no waiting weeks for insurance approval.
​
What makes OLO different for treating shoulder pain?
OLO was founded to address the pitfalls of the traditional medical system—not enough 1-on-1 care, rushed appointments, unattainable insurance demands, and pigeon-holed care plans. We promise personalized 60-minute 1-on-1 sessions with Dr. Joe, flexible scheduling, and transparent education that empowers you to advocate for your health. Plus, our location inside Wolverine CrossFit gives us access to gym equipment, weights, and pull-up bars—so we can train your shoulder in real-world movements, not just on a treatment table.
​
How long does it take to recover from shoulder pain?
Recovery time depends on the severity and type of shoulder injury, but most of our patients see significant improvement within 4–8 sessions. We focus on getting you back to your activities as quickly and safely as possible—whether that's CrossFit, weightlifting, running, or just being able to lift your arm overhead without pain. Together we'll create an individualized plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
