Help understanding employment contract

Asked on Jul 09th, 2014 on Contracts - Kansas
More details to this question:
Here is what I am trying to decipher. "With the exception of working for XYZ Company, employee agrees while he/she is employed by XYZ company, and for a period of 3 years thereafter, employee will not provide directly or indirectly, physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, or any other rehab services for Rehab Clinic (or any physician or health care employee, or member of Rehab Clinic)." "With the exception of working for XZY, employee agrees while he/she is employed and for a period of 3 years thereafter, employee will not provide, directly or indirectly, physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training or any other rehab services where employee performs clinical services for XYZ, or any facility or contract in which XYZ is performing services or negotiating to perform services during employee's employment." Does this mean I can't work for anyone but them?

No, but, if considered enforceable, it does limit your employment options for 3 years after you leave xys's employ.  You could still do other work than rehab services, and you could work at locations where xyz didn't perform services, and wasn't negotiating to perform services, while you worked for it.
