Physical Therapy for Ankle Pain

Ankle Pain Relief in Georgetown, KY

Regain Stability, Walk with Confidence

Ankle pain has a way of making you think twice before every step. Whether it’s a lingering sprain, arthritis, or just feeling unsteady, pain in your ankle can limit your movement — and your confidence.

For older adults, ankle weakness or stiffness can also increase the risk of trips and falls. But the good news? Your ankle can be retrained, strengthened, and supported with the right plan.

At Hyphen, we help older adults turn unstable ankles into strong, reliable ones. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy don’t just treat the pain — they identify the root cause and help you restore full function, so you can walk, climb stairs, and move without hesitation.

Your personalized program may include:

  • Strength training for ankle, foot, and lower leg muscles

  • Mobility and flexibility exercises to improve joint range

  • Balance and proprioception training to prevent falls

  • Gait retraining for better walking mechanics

  • Manual therapy and dry needling for pain relief
