Physical Therapy for Diabetes

Diabetes Treatment in Georgetown, KY

Stay Active, Stay Ahead

Diabetes affects more than just blood sugar — it can lead to fatigue, numbness, joint pain, and even loss of mobility. Many older adults living with diabetes find themselves slowing down, gaining weight, or avoiding movement altogether… even though staying active is one of the best ways to manage the condition.

You don’t need a punishing workout routine to take control. You need a smart, safe, and sustainable plan — and expert support every step of the way.

At Hyphen, we help older adults with diabetes build strength, improve circulation, and increase energy — without risk or overwhelm. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy understand how diabetes affects the body and how to safely improve your function, mobility, and health through tailored movement.

Your program may include:

  • Low-impact strength training to support blood sugar control

  • Cardiovascular conditioning to improve endurance

  • Balance and mobility work to reduce fall risk

  • Education on foot care, neuropathy prevention, and safe movement
