Physical Therapy for Arthritis

Arthritis Relief in Georgetown, KY

Move Better, Hurt Less, Stay Independent

Arthritis can make the simplest tasks — getting out of a chair, tying your shoes, walking up stairs — feel like a challenge. The stiffness, the soreness, the swelling… it adds up. And for many older adults, it becomes a reason to stop moving altogether.

But here’s the thing: movement is medicine. And the right kind of movement doesn’t just ease arthritis pain — it can protect your joints, build strength, and improve your quality of life.

At Hyphen, we help older adults with arthritis find their strength again. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy understand how to reduce joint pain without overdoing it — and how to build a plan that makes you feel more capable with every session.

Your program may include:

  • Low-impact strength training for joint support

  • Mobility work to reduce stiffness

  • Balance and coordination exercises

  • Manual therapy or dry needling for pain relief

  • Joint protection education and pacing strategies
