Shoulder Pain Physical Therapy in Columbus, OH
Stop settling for temporary relief. Get back to lifting, throwing, and living without limitations through performance-focused physical therapy that treats the root cause—not just the symptoms.
Life is too short to avoid the activities you love. At Athletes' Potential, we help active adults and athletes in Columbus overcome shoulder pain through personalized, one-on-one treatment that doesn't just eliminate pain—it elevates your performance beyond where you were before the injury.
Why Your Shoulder Pain Keeps Coming Back
Traditional physical therapy leaves you frustrated, stuck in pain, and uncertain about your future. Here's why the old model fails people like you:
Rushed Appointments, Zero Results
You're one of three patients being treated at once. Your therapist is distracted, your exercises are generic, and your pain returns the moment you leave.
Band-Aids, Not Solutions
Clinics treat your symptoms instead of finding the root cause. You feel better for a few days, then you're back where you started—or worse.
Cookie-Cutter Plans That Fail
Every shoulder is different. Yet you're handed the same printout as everyone else, with no customization for your sport, your goals, or your body.
A Refreshingly Personal Approach to Shoulder Pain Recovery
Athletes' Potential was built to fix what's broken in traditional healthcare. We give you what you actually need: time, attention, and a plan designed around your goals—not insurance company quotas.
Every session is a full hour with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. No sharing time. No distractions. Just focused, expert care that identifies the root cause of your shoulder pain and builds a long-term solution so you can get back to the gym, the field, or the activities that matter most.

Emily Knuth
"I came in with years of low back pain following a microdiscectomy and was told I had spinal instability. The team at Athletes' Potential took the time to figure out the root cause of my pain, built a plan that kept me active, and taught me how to take care of my back."
Find Your Pain's Root Cause
We dig deeper than "your shoulder hurts." Through detailed movement assessment and functional testing, we identify exactly what's wrong—whether it's a rotator cuff issue, scapular dysfunction, or compensation from another area—and why it happened in the first place.
Build Your Custom Treatment Plan
You'll receive a personalized program combining hands-on manual therapy with targeted exercises designed for your specific diagnosis and goals. No generic printouts. Every movement is chosen to restore function and build resilience.
Perform Better Than Before
Getting you out of pain is the bare minimum. We equip you with the skills, strength, and movement patterns to not only return to your sport or activity—but excel at it. You'll leave with knowledge that lasts a lifetime.

Lily Mank
"I had been struggling with chronic low back for most of my 20's. I had tried other PT's but never made much progress and was told by doctors that I would be in pain for the rest of my life. Matt was the first professional to give me hope that I could manage my pain through surprisingly simple exercises."
Noah Latshaw
"Athletes' Potential has helped me on multiple occasions for years. I've been to in-network PT practices but the experiences were sub-par. After 3 sessions with Dominic, we not only fixed my pain but were attacking the root cause instead of just managing the symptoms."
Emily Knuth
"Now, I'm back to working out pain-free and, for the first time in years, I feel confident being active again! I was told I had spinal instability and felt like I'd never be able to work out again and worried about needing another surgery."
