Shoulder Pain Physical Therapy in Marlton, NJ
Get back to your workouts, hobbies, and daily activities without shoulder pain holding you back. At The Wellness Arena, we provide one-on-one physical therapy that targets the root cause of your shoulder pain — not just the symptoms.
​
Whether you're dealing with rotator cuff issues, shoulder instability, or pain that flares up during overhead movements, our performance-focused approach helps active adults in Marlton move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
Shoulder Pain Shouldn't Keep You on the Sidelines
You've tried rest, ice, and maybe even some stretches you found online — but the pain keeps coming back. Every overhead press, every reach into the cabinet, every attempt to get back to your routine reminds you something isn't right. The longer you wait, the more compensations your body builds, turning a shoulder issue into neck pain, back tension, or reduced mobility everywhere else.
Pain That Won't Go Away
You've rested for weeks, but the moment you return to your workout or daily activities, the pain comes right back.
Limited Range of Motion
Reaching overhead, behind your back, or across your body feels stiff, restricted, or just plain uncomfortable.
Losing Strength and Confidence
You avoid certain movements because you're afraid of making it worse — and now you're losing the strength and mobility you worked so hard to build.
We Treat More Than Just Shoulder Pain
While shoulder pain is our focus on this page, our comprehensive approach allows us to treat a wide range of conditions that often contribute to or result from shoulder dysfunction. At The Wellness Arena, we treat the whole person — not just the painful area.
-
✅ Rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement, and frozen shoulder
-
✅ Shoulder instability, scapular dysfunction, and postural compensations
-
✅ Neck pain, upper back tension, and thoracic spine restrictions that affect shoulder mobility

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to recover from shoulder pain?
Recovery time depends on the severity of your condition, how long you've been dealing with pain, and your commitment to the treatment plan. Many clients experience significant relief within 4-6 weeks of starting one-on-one physical therapy. However, chronic shoulder issues or more complex conditions may take longer. The good news? We create a personalized plan designed to get you results as quickly and safely as possible.
​
Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist in New Jersey?
No! New Jersey allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can schedule an appointment without a doctor's referral. You can start treatment immediately and take control of your recovery without waiting for a referral or clearance. If additional imaging or medical intervention is needed, we'll guide you in the right direction.
​
What makes your approach different from traditional physical therapy?
At The Wellness Arena, we provide one-on-one, 60-minute sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy — no aides, no shared attention. We don't just treat where it hurts; we find out why it hurts by assessing your entire kinetic chain. Our performance-focused approach combines manual therapy, dry needling, corrective exercise, and strength training to address the root cause of your pain and help you perform at your best.
​
Will my insurance cover physical therapy at The Wellness Arena?
We are an out-of-network provider, which means we do not bill insurance directly. However, many of our clients choose to use their out-of-network benefits and submit claims for reimbursement. We provide detailed invoices (superbills) that you can submit to your insurance company. We also offer flexible payment options to make high-quality care accessible.
​
Can physical therapy help if I've had shoulder pain for years?
Absolutely. Even chronic shoulder pain can improve with the right approach. Long-standing pain often means your body has built compensations and movement patterns that need to be addressed. Our root cause analysis helps us identify these patterns and create a plan to restore proper movement, reduce pain, and rebuild strength — no matter how long you've been dealing with it.
