Get back to the sport you love with personalized, one-on-one care. From weekend warriors to competitive athletes, we help you recover faster, perform better, and stay injury-free.
Whether you’re dealing with a nagging injury or recovering from surgery, the wrong approach can keep you stuck on the bench.
Generic protocols that don’t address your specific sport, body mechanics, or performance goals leave you frustrated and still in pain.
Rushed 15-minute appointments with multiple patients at once mean you’re not getting the focused attention your injury deserves.
Temporary pain relief without addressing root causes leads to recurring injuries and endless cycles of setbacks.
At Arpella Physical Therapy, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Our sports physical therapy specialists provide comprehensive, individualized care focused on getting you back to peak performance—not just pain-free, but stronger and more resilient than before your injury.
We start by addressing your immediate pain and discomfort using advanced manual therapy, dry needling, and targeted techniques to help you feel better fast.
Through comprehensive movement assessments and sport-specific testing, we identify the underlying biomechanical issues causing your injury—not just the symptoms.
We develop a personalized strength and conditioning program that not only gets you back to your sport but makes you more resilient against future injuries.
Our sports physical therapy team in Arnold specializes in treating the full spectrum of athletic injuries and chronic conditions that keep you from performing your best.

Everything you need to know about starting physical therapy
No! Maryland is a direct access state, which means you can start physical therapy without a doctor’s referral. You can schedule your initial evaluation directly with us and begin treatment right away. This gets you on the path to recovery faster.
Your first session includes a comprehensive evaluation where we’ll discuss your injury history, athletic goals, and current symptoms. We’ll perform movement assessments and sport-specific testing to identify the root cause of your pain. You’ll leave with a clear treatment plan and typically begin some hands-on therapy during that first visit.
Sports physical therapy focuses specifically on the biomechanics and demands of athletic performance. We use sport-specific testing (like our TPI golf assessment and running gait analysis), advanced techniques like dry needling and blood flow restriction training, and create return-to-sport progressions that prepare you for the exact movements your activity requires.
Dry needling uses thin needles to release trigger points and tight muscle tissue. Most patients describe it as a brief, deep pressure sensation. We offer both traditional trigger point dry needling and Subcutaneous Fascial Needling (FSN), which is more comfortable and often produces noticeable results in the first treatment. Our therapists are certified and highly experienced in these techniques.
Sessions are typically 45-60 minutes of one-on-one care—no rotating between patients. The number of visits depends on your injury severity, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Many patients see significant improvement within 4-8 sessions, but we’ll give you a personalized timeline after your evaluation.
Yes, we work with most major insurance plans. We recommend calling your insurance provider to verify your physical therapy benefits, or contact our office at (410) 650-2802 and we’ll help you understand your coverage. We also offer self-pay options for those without insurance or who prefer to pay out-of-pocket.
Absolutely! We specialize in sport-specific rehabilitation and performance training. Our team includes TPI-certified golf specialists, and we have extensive experience with runners, CrossFit athletes, weekend warriors, and competitive sports. We use return-to-sport testing and progressive training to ensure you’re truly ready to perform at your best.
