Chronic Back Pain

Mary’s Comeback Story

“I was desperate from having pain for so many years. I had tried PT before doing something called needling and was tortured with a tool that was scraping my skin. I also saw a chiropractor, even went to the Mayo clinic for treatment. My family doctor suggested that I go and talk with a PT at OPTI as he, himself, had been a patient there and was impressed by their knowledge about pain. The first session, the PT spent the whole time listening to me. He just let me tell him my whole story. After I was finished, he explained to me that he didn’t know if he could help me but he was going to do everything he could to try to find me some relief. He educated me about pain, what it is and not to fear it. He did some hands on treatment and gave me some movements and positions to try out on my own. He encouraged me to try to start an exercise program. He gave me confidence in moving again. For years I had stopped moving as I was scared it was making my pain worse. To make a long story short, I am not 100% pain free yet but I know I am going to get there. Most days I have little to no pain at all and if I do, I do not fear it. Thanks to OPTI, I feel like I am getting my life back. I am so glad my doctor told me about them. I just love going there.”

Two Total Knee Replacements

Vicki’s Comeback Story

“Omaha Physical Therapy Institute and their amazing therapists are the best for any type of physical rehabilitation you require. My needs involved having two total knee replacements within five months. That required many visits to Katie and resulted in great success. Katie paired her knowledge, abilities and expertise with her compassion for a rehab process for me that made my journey enjoyable while working hard to heal. I was able to participate in the Wellness Program for additional strength and healing through exercise. Let’s not forget Lori, who mans the front desk with great patient service and a warm and welcoming smile. The environment is one of healing through work and joy. You always are met with a smile no matter who you encounter; therefore, you always leave with one.”

"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. I am forever grateful to Omaha Physical Therapy Institute (OPTI) and their Athletes In Motion (A.I.M.) program. OPTI’s team got me back into action and I am back playing the sport I love. 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
