Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder Pain Relief in Georgetown, KY

Shoulder Pain Relief

Shoulder pain can make even the smallest movements feel frustrating — lifting a grocery bag, reaching into a cabinet, or sleeping on your side. For many older adults, it’s the kind of pain that starts small but grows into a major limitation. And the longer it lingers, the more it can lead to weakness, stiffness, and fear of movement.

But here’s the truth: shoulder pain isn’t something you just have to “live with.” You can build strength, restore mobility, and take back control.

At Hyphen, we start with a simple question: what do you want to be able to do again? Whether it's getting back to swimming, working in the yard, or just reaching a high shelf without wincing, we design a plan to get you there — safely and effectively.

Your program may include:

  • Strength and stability training for the shoulder and rotator cuff

  • Mobility work to restore healthy range of motion

  • Manual therapy and dry needling to reduce pain and improve circulation

  • Gradual loading exercises to build resilience and prevent re-injury
