Physical Therapy for Hand Pain

Hand Pain Relief in Georgetown, KY

Get Back to Gripping, Lifting, and Living

Your hands do more than you realize — until they hurt. Hand pain can make everyday activities like opening jars, writing, typing, or buttoning a shirt feel frustrating or even impossible.

For older adults, hand pain often comes from arthritis, overuse, or nerve-related issues. But here’s the truth: losing hand function isn’t just “getting older.” With the right care, you can get strength, control, and comfort back.

At Hyphen, we don’t just look at your symptoms — we focus on how your hand pain is impacting your life. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy create a customized plan to reduce pain, restore function, and improve your ability to do the things that matter most.

Your plan may include:

  • Hand, wrist, and forearm strengthening exercises

  • Manual therapy and soft tissue work to improve movement

  • Fine motor control and dexterity exercises

  • Nerve gliding techniques for numbness or tingling

  • Joint protection strategies and activity modifications
