Outpatient Therapy

Madonna physical therapists maximize quality of life by helping regain strength and mobility after an injury or trauma. From simple strains and sprains to complex medical situations or chronic illness, our experts utilize specialized equipment, manual therapy, and other modalities to craft a unique treatment plan for each patient. Our extensively trained physical therapy experts can provide relief from pain and limited mobility caused by athletic injuries, overuse, industrial or workplace accidents, traumatic events like a motor vehicle accident, lack of tone following a lengthy hospital stay, chronic diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, and a variety of other clinical situations. 

Madonna occupational therapists help patients of all ages recover from an illness or injury by empowering them to re-master activities of daily living. An occupational therapist may help a student with a disability learn to adapt to the classroom environment, an adult with a neurological condition perform tasks like cooking, cleaning, driving and laundry, or an aging adult experiencing cognitive changes to live at their maximum level of independence possible. Madonna occupational therapists can also provide in-home assessments to determine the suitability of the current living situation to a patient’s needs and abilities and suggest adaptations when necessary.  Two of our outpatient therapy clinics are equipped with a driving simulator that OTs may use to retrain and test drivers in a safe environment.

Madonna speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help individuals overcome communication barriers, whether they are a child with struggles pronouncing words properly or an individual with a brain injury struggling with aphasia or a variety of other related conditions. SLPs can also provide augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems for individuals with language comprehension or expression disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder or progressive neurological disorders. Madonna SLPs can also assist with feeding and swallowing, assessing a patient’s abilities and implementing safe solutions for feeding. 

The Rehabilitation Day Program (RDP) is a part of Madonna’s outpatient programming at both campuses. RDP is an important piece of Madonna Rehabilitation Hospitals’ specialty programs, designed to assist children and adults with rehabilitation diagnoses such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and other orthopedic or neurological illnesses and injuries.  It is an intensive, interdisciplinary approach to care. The focus of this coordinated rehabilitation program is to help patients achieve maximum function and develop or refine the skills necessary to resume life roles and fully participate in what makes life meaningful.

A physician’s referral is required to become a patient of this program.

Madonna offers a specialty clinic to provide comprehensive evaluation of mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBIs), commonly known as concussions. When concussion symptoms don’t resolve on their own in 7-14 days with rest and limited physical activity, primary care physicians refer adult and pediatric patients to Madonna Outpatient Therapy at our Main Campus in Lincoln or our Omaha clinic.

The Structured Independence exercise program allows Madonna outpatient therapy patients to continue their rehabilitation exercises in a structured setting at Madonna’s Wellness Club after discharge from outpatient therapy services. This program is available to you at no additional charge.

The SwingWell program is for golfers who want to improve their swing. Designed and developed by the Titleist Performance Institute, it includes a physical assessment to identify how the body physically influences the golf swing. The physical therapist will develop an exercise program to correct any physical faults detected by the assessment.
