You’ve Tried Rest, But Nothing Changes


Time off isn’t fixing the problem. Without the right movement and strengthening plan, injuries linger and frustration builds.

Generic PT Hasn’t Worked

Cookie-cutter exercises and rushed appointments leave you wondering if you’ll ever get back to normal.

You’re Worried It Will Get Worse

The longer you wait, the more compensations your body creates—leading to new aches, pains, and setbacks.

We Treat the Person, Not Just the Pain

At Arpella Physical Therapy, we believe orthopedic care should be personal, thorough, and empowering. That’s why every session is one-on-one for a full 60 minutes with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who takes the time to understand your goals, assess your movement patterns, and create a plan tailored to your body and lifestyle.

We don’t just help you feel better temporarily—we equip you with the strength, mobility, and knowledge to stay active for the long haul.

✓ One-on-one care for the full hour—no rotating between therapists or assistants
✓ Evidence-based treatment that addresses the root cause, not just symptoms
✓ Custom exercise programs you can do at home to accelerate your recovery

Arpella Physical Therapy
"When I was encouraged to start physical therapy for a rotator cuff issue, I almost didn't go. My previous experience with a different company was less than stellar. My doctor recommended Arpella Physical Therapy, and I am so glad! I could not have had a better experience. From the beginning, Gillian made registering and scheduling easy. Logan did an amazing job providing individual attention in the office and a tailored plan that allowed me to do exercises at home easily. This led to great successes each week. In just a few weeks, I regained a significant range of motion in my arm. I cannot recommend this place enough!" -Jennifer Parkhurst

"Arpella Practitioners are highly knowledgeable, professionals, kind and have a sense of humor. I believe it is the best Physical Therapy Center in the area. Their Holistic approach over the years has helped me overcome Spinal Stenosis and deal with osteoarthritis. My core is stronger, posture better and I have learned a great deal regarding health and wellness. I highly recommended Arpella to improve your physical health and wellbeing."

"Proof is in the Pudding - Results! I subscribe to the Wellness Program where I visit Arpella once a month as a pro-active vs reactive approach to PT. I had lost significant flexibility due to many miles of bike training. My original goal was to gain back flexibility & improve balance; however, it quickly became more than those 2 items. It has been 10 months & the progress has been everything I hoped for & beyond. Mitch is a consummate professional, direct, insightful while being fun."
Henry Hopkins
"The care I've received at Arpella PT goes above and beyond any other PT I've been with. The entire team is genuinely concerned not just about healing injuries but setting you up for long-term improved quality of life. At Arpella, you won't just gain improvement in whatever pain areas you have, but learn the skills to support and strengthen your whole body. The care is unmatched."

 Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about orthopedic physical therapy? We’ve got answers.

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy?
No! Maryland is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a doctor’s referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so we recommend checking with your provider. We’re happy to help you navigate this process.

How long will my sessions last?
Every session at Arpella is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy for a full 60 minutes. This allows us to provide personalized, high-quality care without rushing through your treatment.

Do you accept insurance?
Yes! We accept most major insurance plans and also offer out-of-network options. Our team will work with you to verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before your first visit.

What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Depending on the area we’re treating, you may need to expose the affected joint or muscle group, so plan accordingly.

How soon will I see results?
Many patients notice improvement within the first few weeks, but every case is unique. During your initial evaluation, we’ll discuss a realistic timeline based on your condition and goals.

What makes Arpella different from other physical therapy clinics?
At Arpella, you’ll receive one-on-one care for the full hour with a Doctor of Physical Therapy—no assistants, no rotating between therapists. We focus on treating the root cause of your pain, not just masking symptoms, and we empower you with the tools to stay healthy long after discharge.
