How We Treat | Lincoln Orthopedic Physical Therapy

At LOPT, we treat the whole person, not just symptoms and diagnosis. We address the musculoskeletal function’s inner relationship throughout the body for a more comprehensive treatment program. Using a dynamic, holistic approach, we consider all factors contributing to your presentation at a given time. We are movement experts with the compassion, skills, and expertise, providing a thorough and individualized evaluation to determine the interventions needed to meet your goals.

To give you the best rehabilitative results, we assess your needs and the unique aspects of your condition, then develop a customized program fit for you. Using a variety of treatment methods, and emphasizing patient instruction and home management, helps prevent recurrence of the problem and avoiding associated disorders. We’ll be with you, side-by-side, providing hands-on care and encouragement every step of the way.

When you walk in on your first day and ask, "How will I get back to doing what I love?", these are just a few of the ways we help people return to doing the activities they enjoy.
