Shoulder Pain Physical Therapy in Ann Arbor, MI

Whether you're dealing with rotator cuff injuries, impingement, chronic shoulder pain, or post-surgical rehab—we'll get to the root cause and create a plan that gets you moving pain-free.
Tired of Shoulder Pain Holding You Back?
You've been dealing with shoulder pain for months—maybe even years. It's keeping you from pressing overhead, doing pull-ups, or even sleeping comfortably at night. You're frustrated because you've tried stretching, rest, and maybe even cortisone shots, but nothing seems to fix the problem long-term
Rushed, Generic Treatment
Big-box PT clinics treat you like a number. Cookie-cutter exercises, 15-minute appointments, and no real plan to fix the root cause of your shoulder pain.
Pills Instead of Solutions
Your doctor offers medication or injections but doesn't address why your shoulder hurts in the first place—leaving you defeated and searching for real answers.
Insurance Nightmares
Dealing with insurance limitations, referrals, and restrictions prevents you from getting the personalized care your shoulder actually needs to heal.
Ditch the Big-Box PT Offices. You WON'T Regret Choosing OLO
After years of working in traditional physical therapy clinics, Dr. Joe Olofsson saw the same frustrations over and over—not enough 1-on-1 care, rushed appointments, and pigeon-holed treatment plans that didn't work. He knew active adults and athletes in Ann Arbor deserved better, so he launched OLO Physical Therapy & Wellness in 2020.
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. No cookie-cutter approach here. Our fitness-forward method focuses on keeping you moving, strong, and away from unnecessary surgery or medications.

"I am an experienced CrossFit athlete (10+ yrs) and I recently developed shoulder pain. I started working with Joe to fix my shoulder. Working with him is great! He has a tremendous passion for his work and has a wealth of knowledge about body mechanics. His approach is comprehensive: we examined all the pinch points causing my shoulders to be tight and range of motion limited. I would highly recommend him to family, friends, or anyone wanting to increase their mobility."
