Work-Related Injuries and Ergonomic Assessments

At Omaha Physical Therapy Institute (OPTI), we specialize in the evaluation and treatment of work-related musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries. Every patient receives one-on-one care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy at every visit, ensuring focused, personalized attention throughout the entire recovery process.

Our physical therapists are experts in orthopedic and sports medicine with extensive experience in managing work-related injuries. We prioritize patient outcomes and satisfaction, tailoring each treatment plan to address both personal recovery goals and the functional demands of the patient’s job.

Our mission is to help injured workers return to their duties as quickly and safely as possible. We maintain clear communication between the treating therapist, referring physician, case manager, and employer to ensure a coordinated and supportive recovery plan.

In addition to hands-on care, patients are educated on the science of pain and equipped with tools for injury prevention and long-term health maintenance, empowering them for a strong and sustainable return to work.

Ergonomic Assessments

At Omaha Physical Therapy Institute (OPTI), we go beyond the clinic to help create healthier, safer work environments. In addition to comprehensive clinical assessment and treatment, our Doctors of Physical Therapy offer on-site ergonomic evaluations to assess employee workstations. These evaluations include a detailed review of the workspace setup and a collaborative discussion with both the employee and employer to address concerns and identify areas for improvement.

We also provide educational workshops for employers and their teams on topics such as ergonomics, injury prevention, and workplace wellness. These sessions are designed to empower employees with practical strategies to stay healthy, reduce discomfort, and minimize the risk of workplace injuries, helping businesses support a thriving and productive workforce.

Injured on the job? We’re here to help. Call us today to schedule your appointment and take the first step toward getting back to work safely, confidently, and pain-free.

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)

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

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.
