Physical Therapy in Lincoln, Nebraska
Tom Kruse Physical Therapy is an outpatient orthopedic clinic serving Lincoln and the surrounding communities. We believe the best rehabilitation is personal: one-on-one sessions, hands-on care, and treatment plans built around the life you want to get back to — not a generic protocol.
How We Help
- Back & neck pain — evidence-based treatment that favors movement and strength over rest and fear.
- Sports injuries — structured rehabilitation and objective return-to-play testing for athletes of every level.
- Post-surgical recovery — coordinated with your surgeon, from day-one precautions to full activity.
- Workplace & posture care — practical ergonomics and exercise for desk-bound bodies.
Most insurance plans are accepted, and Nebraska law allows direct access — in many cases you can start physical therapy without a physician referral. Browse our patient resources below, or contact the clinic to schedule an evaluation.
