Court Sport Rehab

At Omaha Physical Therapy Institute, our physical therapists specialize in the treatment of basketball and volleyball athletes and integrate sport-specific skills into every rehabilitation program.

If you’ve been sidelined from your sport for an extended period, our team will progressively prepare you for return to play. During the final phase of therapy, we transition sessions onto a court surface to safely reintroduce multidirectional movement, loading, and sport-specific skills, helping you rebuild confidence and perform at your best when you return to competition.

Sport Specific Skills

For basketball athletes, rehabilitation may include progressive drills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, rebounding, and defensive movement to restore skill, coordination, and game readiness. For volleyball athletes, treatment may incorporate hitting, serving, sliding, diving, passing, and setting to ensure a confident and controlled return to play.

Throughout your recovery, we maintain consistent communication with your physician and coaches to promote a coordinated approach, optimize your rehabilitation experience, and support a safe, successful return to competition.

"My orthopedic surgeon suggested physical therapy for my tennis elbow. I had no idea where to start? I called my PCP and was referred to OPTI…I couldn’t be more satisfied with the therapy I received from there. Everyone is nice starting at the front desk with Lori! I would recommend them hands down than any other place in town. Thanks OPTI!" –Stephanie (Tennis Elbow)

"OPTI has treated me for over a decade through multiple sports injuries and surgeries. There is no better group of professionals to be around when you're embarking on the difficult journey to recovery. The environment is welcoming and positive. Communication is clear and reassuring. I recommend OPTI to all my friends, family, and teammates and they all have the same great experience" -Jonathan

“As an orthopedic surgeon, it is comforting to know that my patients are getting the attention they deserve. They are the most trustworthy PT’s in the area. I have even sent family to them.” – Orthopedic Surgeon in the Omaha area

“The one on one attention was great. I liked that everything we did tied back to soccer. My rehab was soccer-specific and I was able to get some sessions in at the Athletes In Motion Clinic out at the Omaha Sports Complex which was pretty awesome! I felt confident in returning to play!” – Paul (Ankle Injury)

“This note is no doubt long overdue, but comes with enormous gratitude that only continues to grow. This September marked three years since my ACL repair, and each day since I have been blessed with the ability to be fully active, play any sport my heart desired, continue coaching the beautiful game of soccer, climb new mountains (literally) and take on countless adventures and challenges. I certainly have your impressive expertise and fabulous patient care to thank for much of that. So, with all of my heart (and my healthy-thanks-to-you-right-knee), I am grateful. Thank you for leaving a positive permanent impact in my life!” – Becca (ACL Surgery)

“As an athlete, soccer is my life. ACL Reconstruction surgery could have ended my career.

OPTI has the best Physical Therapy team in Omaha.” – Mayme Conroy, UNL Soccer, Redditch United F.C.

“I did most of my rehab at the A.I.M. clinic. It was awesome! From the first day, I knew I was going to make it back to pitching. Having the turf and the nets to throw and pitch into helped me get my confidence back.” – Brandon (Tommy John Surgery)

"I chose OPTI to provide my post op rehab from knee replacement based on their great reviews. Once I started I've been impressed from day one; setting up all my appointments was easy, they are diligent in regards to providing a clean and sanitary environment, the staff are friendly, professional, thoughtful and most importantly, they challenge you to improve with each visit. Thank you OPTI for providing me treatment that has resulted in an improved quality of life." - Nancy

"Omaha Physical Therapy Institute has been fabulous. From the start, two weeks post rotator cuff surgery, I was able to get in right away...and get scheduled for my first 6 weeks of PT. Each session has addressed different muscle areas. I am learning about my shoulder thru the exercises I do. I certainly would suggest anyone I know use OPTI for their physical therapy needs." - Carol
