After completing Doctorate of Physical Therapy degrees at Creighton University, therapists Ross Tessendorf and Chris Demuth gained experience working in both hospital and private clinic settings. With a mutual desire to provide the highest quality care with the most talented physical therapists on staff, they decided to create their own physical therapy clinic, and Nebraska Orthopaedic Physical Therapy opened its doors in June of 2006.
Since that time, we have helped our patients fully recover from surgeries and injuries, increased the strength and performance of athletes, restored pain-free motion and activity to those plagued by chronic pain, and prevented surgeries in those who thought they were out of options. At Nebraska Orthopaedic Physical Therapy, we know what it takes to get you back to a normal, healthy, and pain-free life.

Millions of Americans are adversely impacted by back and neck pain each year. Studies show that, at one point or another, approximately 80% of the U.S. population will be affected by back pain. Backaches and back pain may occur for a variety of reasons. The shoulder is the most complicated joint in the body and has to move through an incredible range of motion while maintaining strength and support.
Your neck is an essential part of everyday movement, and severe pain can prevent you from functioning normally. Neck pain can be debilitating and extremely uncomfortable, especially if it extends from your neck to your shoulders. Whether your neck pain is preventing you from sitting up straight in your chair at work or causing you to tilt your head down to tie your shoes, physical therapy can help you get back to normal, pain-free functioning.
The shoulder is the most complicated joint in the body and has to move through an incredible range of motion while maintaining strength and support. The shoulder is formed by the union of the humerus (upper arm bone), the scapula (shoulder blade) and the clavicle (collarbone). Shoulder pain can occur for a variety of reasons but is typically from poor posture, weakness of rotator cuff muscles, or injury.
When you walk, run, and move, your hip and knee work together to allow you to move fluidly and accurately. When one of these joints and the associated muscle groups that make them move are not working properly pain can occur in different parts of the leg. Hip pain can leave you with very limited movement and make walking painful.
The foot and ankle are amazingly complex structures that take a huge amount of force with every step that you take. Following injuries or with age, ligaments and other structures in the foot can change, resulting in improper or aggravated forces on the foot and ankle. With ill-fitted shoes and residual effects from prior injuries, pain can occur from poor stability, lack of mobility, or lack of strength in the stabilizing muscles.

I can't say enough great things about Nebraska Orthopaedic! I was injured in a skiing accident in Feb. 2020 that required a couple surgeries and was unable to walk for months. I arrived at Neb. Ortho in a wheelchair and Ross got me back to jogging, chasing my young kids, and eventually skiing again! I would not be where I am today without them.
The whole staff is wonderful and they all work together to make sure you are getting the best care you possibly can. They truly care about you, your recovery and treat you as part of their family. I can't thank them enough & highly recommend Ross, Chris

As an intern here at Nebraska Orthopaedic Physical Therapy in Fremont, I can vouch for the endless support that Ross and Chris give to their interns and the patients at the clinic. They all work so hard at trying to accommodate for what's best for who they serve and I am grateful for the opportunity to help serve them. They are nothing less the professional, kind, and praiseworthy. Great Job, Nebraska Ortho!

Everyone is so great here. I always feel very welcomed and my therapy sessions are thorough and professional. I mainly see Dan Casey who always takes time to listen and explain things/answer all my questions. The assistants have been awesome and very friendly. I've been coming here for just about a month and my symptoms have improved so much. I really appreciate the home-friendly exercises they give me to do and the help with finding which ones work best for me. I highly recommend Nebraska Orthopaedic Physical Therapy!
