Community-Focused Physical Therapy in Lincoln

How Makovicka Physical Therapy Builds Stronger Communities in Lincoln and Beyond

At Makovicka Physical Therapy, our mission goes beyond rehabilitation. We are deeply committed to engaging with the Lincoln community in meaningful, lasting ways. From supporting local athletic events to participating in school programs, we proudly show up where our community needs us most — making a real difference in the lives of our neighbors, families and friends of all ages.

Community Involvement That Goes Beyond the Clinic

For Makovicka Physical Therapy, community engagement isn’t just about sponsorships or public appearances. It’s about building strong relationships. Our team members live, work, and raise families right here in the Lincoln and Lancaster County area, so giving back is personal.

Over the past decade, our staff has:

• Volunteered at local athletic and wellness events

• Provided free injury screenings to athletes and attendees

• Participated in neighborhood cleanups

• Donated school supplies, diapers, and financial assistance to families in need

• Mentored students at elementary, middle, high school, and college levels

• Supported student-athlete development through training room coverage and leadership events

We believe that strong communities are built through connection, care, and collaboration.
