Physical Therapy for Cancer

Cancer Recovery in Georgetown, KY

Rebuild Strength, Restore Energy, Live Fully

Cancer changes everything — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. After treatment, many older adults are left feeling exhausted, weak, unsteady, or unsure how to safely get back to moving.

Whether you’ve finished chemo, radiation, or surgery (or you’re still undergoing treatment), you don’t have to navigate recovery alone. And you don’t have to settle for feeling limited.

At Hyphen, we support older adults in taking back their strength and confidence after cancer. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy and fitness professionals understand how treatment affects the body — and how to safely rebuild it. Your plan will meet you where you are and move at your pace.

Your program may include:

  • Gentle strength training to reverse muscle loss

  • Balance and coordination exercises to prevent falls

  • Cardiovascular conditioning to improve stamina

  • Flexibility work to reduce tightness or discomfort

  • Emotional support and encouragement through community
