One-on-One Treatment with a Physical Therapist Every Visit!
Individualized treatment for injured workers

Work-Related Injuries and Ergonomic Assessments

At Omaha Physical Therapy Institute (OPTI) we provide injured workers with a comprehensive evaluation and treatment for all work-related musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries. Patients are guaranteed one-on-one care with a doctor of physical therapy every single visit. OPTI’s physical therapists are all specialists in the orthopedic and sports medicine realm and have extensive experience working with work-related injuries. We measure our success through patient outcomes and their satisfaction with treatment.

The treatment plan for an injured worker is individualized, addressing both personal goals as well as their work-related goals. Our mission is to make sure the patient is able to return to their work duties as quickly and as comfortably as possible. There will be good communication between the treating physical therapist, the referring physician, and the patient’s case worker and employer if needed in order to make sure that everyone is on the same page regarding the patient’s goals and progress. OPTI’s physical therapists educate the patient on the neurophysiology of pain and equip them with strategies for injury prevention and health maintenance once they are able to return to work.

Ergonomic Assessments

In addition to comprehensive clinical assessment and treatment, OPTI also performs on-site ergonomic assessments of employee work stations. This entails a doctor of physical therapy coming to the workplace and doing a comprehensive evaluation of the work station as well as speaking with the employee and employer about their concerns/issues.

Furthermore, OPTI does offer employers with educational classes on ergonomics, injury prevention, and wellness in the workplace. This education is so valuable in assisting employers with keeping their employees informed on how to stay healthy and pain free while at work, reducing the risk of work place injuries.

If you have been injured on the job, we can help! Call today to schedule your appointment so you can get back to the workplace as quickly and as confidently as possible!

“Katie is the best PT in the world! I truly appreciate her patience, enthusiasm, and knowledge. I am now back playing softball and loving it!” –Jessi (ACL surgery)

“Going to physical therapy at OPTI was something I looked forward to every week. Katie not only helped me with the physical part but she also got me through the mental obstacles of recovery. She is the only therapist I know that will take her patient out on the field and work with them one-on-one. Katie and Brent made me feel comfortable and they could always make me laugh through the frustrating times in rehab.”  –Ally B.

"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)

"I really appreciate how much Brent helped me get back into playing collegiate baseball after my shoulder surgery. He gave me comfort, hope, and strength during a tough time and I am grateful for it." –Mike (Shoulder surgery)

“Something I would want people to know about OPTI is that I was able see the same physical therapist every single visit. Most people do not realize that this is unfortunately unique about OPTI. I went to a different PT clinic initially for my injury and found out I was being seen by a college student who was a technician there so I switched to OPTI. It is a night and day difference in quality of care between the two clinics.” – Claire B.

“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 am so grateful for the care I received from Marc. He was gentle and kind and helped my back so much.” – Bonnie (Low back pain)

“I have had a total knee replacement on both knees but have gone to two different places for physical therapy. Omaha Physical Therapy Institute was so much better than the first place I had to go to. I was able to see Brent every time and his approach to getting my knee to straighten and bend was a lot more effective and less painful than the other place.” – Diane T.
