Back on My Feet—And Back to Work
During my post-surgery recovery at Northeast Nebraska Physical Therapy, I had some doubts about moving forward. But with the amazing help of Annikka—and her support and guidance—I was able to get back to work and regain my confidence.
I now have full mobility in my back and am amazed by the range of motion in my legs.
Thank you, Annikka, Ashley, Philip, Katie, and Lindsey!

Teamwork, Expertise, and Real Results
Northeast Nebraska Therapy is amazing!
When I first walked into their facility, I could barely move my left arm. An MRI showed I had tears in my rotator cuff—and to be honest, I didn’t understand how physical therapy could help with a tear.
Now, just eight weeks later, I nearly have full range of motion again! They taught me so much about the muscles surrounding my injury and how those were contributing to my instability.
Thank you to Annikka, Katie, Ashley, Philip, and Lindsey! I had to list them all because they truly work as a team. They are the reason I keep coming back—and also the reason I’m being restored to health.

When I first came into PT, I’m not even sure you could call it ‘walking.’ I was in so much pain, couldn’t straighten up, and didn’t think anything would be able to help me. It had only been a few days since I slipped on ice, fell on my stairs at home, and was diagnosed with a fracture. I was afraid the staff would make me do exercises immediately and that I’d end up worse off than when I came in.
Boy, was I wrong! The staff asked questions, evaluated me thoroughly, and immediately made me feel comfortable. My movement and pain improved with every appointment. They were always there to wipe a tear and talk to me when I was feeling down or worried I wasn’t progressing fast enough.
My upper back resolved and healed, but during the last week of PT, I developed pain in my lower back, which turned out to be arthritis. Of course, the staff adjusted my plan to focus on my lower back, which helped improve my pain and movement.
I will truly miss Annikka, Ashley, Phil, Katie, and Lindsey. They have made a big difference in my life by eliminating pain and being great listeners. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Supportive Care That Keeps Me Going
I always look forward to my PT sessions! After shoulder replacement surgery, I’ve made great strides thanks to the care and dedication of the entire therapy team. They genuinely care about my progress and make me feel supported every step of the way. We’re almost at full recovery—and I’m so grateful for their help in getting me there!

From a Painful Fall to a Life-Changing Recovery
I had never been to physical therapy before.
On December 14, 2024—a cold, icy morning—I fell down my slick front steps, landing on my face and in terrible pain. I could only crawl back up the icy steps to get inside.
Two days later, I visited my doctor. X-rays revealed several compression fractures and cracks. An MRI was also taken. The doctor warned me it would be very painful for the next six months.
In April, I saw an ad for a free consultation and contacted Northeast Nebraska Physical Therapy. Best decision ever! I’ve gained better balance, strength in my legs and arms, and improved mobility.
What a lifesaver. Thank you! Thank you!
~ Rae C.
Encouraged, and Stronger Than Ever
My doctor told me he didn’t think he’d be able to fix my knee due to the amount of damage. But six weeks into physical therapy, we took X-rays, and he said he was very pleased with the results. I truly believe that without the physical drive and determination from Kaylee and Sarah P.—who pushed me to stay consistent with my exercises—those results wouldn’t have been nearly as spectacular.
- What activities were difficult? Walking into the building and seeing their evil smiles.
- What can I do better now? Walking out—finally!
Thank you, Sarah P. and Kaylee, for not going easy on me. I’m going to miss you!

When I first started having issues, Annikka was the first medical professional I’d seen who truly cared and put in the effort to help me. She, Katie, and the entire team went above and beyond for me. When I first started, I could barely walk and relied on a walker or cane depending on the situation. Today, I have no fear of tripping—and I’ve even worn heels again! Lindsey is so welcoming and efficient; she took care of everything with my insurance so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I cannot recommend Northeast Nebraska Physical Therapy enough!
~ Jianna Sorensen
I tripped and fell, injuring my shoulder and entire upper left torso. Since starting physical therapy, I’ve come full circle and feel like my fall never even happened. I highly recommend Northeast Nebraska Physical Therapy!
~ Kim Bettenhausen
I’ve had a great experience here! The staff are all knowledgeable and friendly, and the environment is fun. I was in constant pain prior to treatment, but my pain has greatly reduced, and my range of motion has improved a lot. Thanks for all the help and the great experience!
~ Tricia Petersen
My experience at Columbus Physical Therapy was outstanding! I unfortunately ruptured my Achilles tendon. During my time at Columbus Physical Therapy I worked with Kaylee and our goal was to get me back to my active lifestyle—playing basketball, sand volleyball, and golf. Today, I am very happy to have my life back and excited to get back into the game!
~ Juwan Ortiz
I could not be more pleased with my results from knee replacement rehab. I am once again walking the dog through fields and woods—not just on sidewalks. My wife says I no longer “shuffle” up the steps of our house. I’m back to mowing the lawn with a push mower, and I feel good enough to deer hunt this fall and hike a couple of miles to my turkey hunting spot. My surgeon even said I had a “12-week knee” after just six weeks of rehab with Columbus Physical Therapy. Thanks so much!
~ Michael Jones
I dislocated my shoulder and broke a small bone. The exercises at PT improved my range of motion and maintained strength in my arm until a decision could be made about the next stage of treatment. Terin was the BEST—she motivated me and made me want to do the work no matter how I felt that day! Everyone in the office was very friendly and courteous, and they made me feel like a valued person they truly wanted to help to the best of their ability
~ Terri Hirschbrunner
I came to Columbus Physical Therapy with a new hip, and my movement was very limited. Kaylee was my therapist, and she guided me through the exercises I needed to help me heal. Kaylee was very patient with my progress. By the end of my complete plan of care, my movement had improved to better than it was before my surgery, and the pain was completely gone. The staff at Columbus Physical Therapy are awesome people!
~ Ed Scriven
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Scott Vancura and the entire team at Columbus Physical Therapy. When I was dealing with extreme pain, I called hoping to get some relief, and they were able to see me right away. That first session made a world of difference—by the end of the hour, my pain was already manageable. Within a week, I was back to feeling like myself again, with only a little stiffness remaining. After a dry needling session, it was as if nothing had ever been wrong.
What stands out just as much as the quality of care is the way they treat you. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are welcomed by the kindest staff at the front desk, always greeting you with a genuine smile and a warm “hello.” The therapists and staff don’t just focus on your recovery—they truly care about you as a person. They listen, encourage, and celebrate your progress, making you feel supported every step of the way.
Scott is exceptional at what he does, and it’s clear that the entire team works together with the same dedication and compassion. They go above and beyond to not only relieve pain but also restore confidence and quality of life. Columbus Physical Therapy isn’t just a clinic—it feels like family. I am incredibly grateful for the care I received and would recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy.
If you’re looking for physical therapy, this is the place to go!

Not Just Treatment — Genuine Connection
I enjoyed my visits with Jocelyn, she was always positive about treatment and she always asked if I needed anything specific to help with. She has very upbeat and humorous personality, enjoyed her story about her daughter was always a bright spot in my day. I liked that treatment time was never rushed and thorough. I will definitely recommend to friends and family if they need physical therapy, to check out this facility, thank you for the advice and support I will definitely use.

Effective, Trusted, and Caring Physical Therapy
This was my first time at Columbus Physical Therapy, and it was a new experience for me. I really appreciated the people who worked with me—they were kind and understanding about the pain in my shoulder and neck. It was amazing to feel the pain decrease throughout my sessions. I enjoyed the exercises and plan to continue them at home. I had a great experience and would definitely come back if needed.
