Physical Therapy & Hand Therapy

THE BEST!
If you need PT or OT you won’t find a better place to go! I see patients of all age, with all types of problems, kids with injuries or conditions, lots of workers with work related injuries, all the way to elderly people with age related issues. They deal with it all, and will never talk down to you or make you feel bad about anything. Even resistant folks with negative attitudes get treated with respect and a smile
Every time I go in, I feel better when I leave than when I get there, mentally and physically. It’s always a great experience even when a bad day or a bad situation.
Everyone there is great!
The front desk staff is nice, fast and help keep me on track, their very accommodating to scheduling issues. They make every effort to book my appointments back to back, and if they’re seeing me and my kid they’ll squeeze us both in at the same time so that I only have to make one trip, as opposed to booking one of us at 11 and the other at 1 for PT and 2 for hand therapy.
The therapists have all been great! I’ve even had them stay late to help finish the session, that’s above and beyond when someone is scheduled to get off at 5 but stay until 5:15 just because you can’t get there at exactly the right time, just make sure they know ahead of time and they’ll accommodate the best they can!
Usually you’ll see the same therapist each time but sometimes that’s just not possible due to days off or needing appointments at varying times, they all know their stuff and keep good records, so even if you don’t see the same therapist each time you can expect the same level of care each time. But they can only do so much, YOU have to do the work too! Some days I leave and I’m pretty worn out… that’s a good thing though and it’s not true for each case, everyone is different and are there for different reasons/injuries. For strength and stability work you can expect to get a workout, but it’s not a gym, they won’t push you beyond your limits, I just like to go hard and get the most out of each visit!
They have good equipment for you to use and you rarely have to “wait your turn” to access things, if you do it will be a short wait and they do occasionally get new equipment too, they’re well equipped and have lots of staff who help take care of the little jobs that don’t require a therapist, such as cleaning up, retrieving various equipment you’ll need for different activities and my favorite, the hot paraffin wax dip to start each visit (for hand therapy) or making sure the equipment is set up properly and safely.
And they don’t skimp on using consumables like special tape or materials used to build custom braces. Their braces have been a lifesaver for me when I’ve needed them, well made, they fit good and if they’re need adjustment then just let them know and they’ll modify accordingly.
I’ve personally been going here off and on since 2021, originally for chronic back pain, which will never go away… but it’s gotten much better, and if I would do more work at home I’d be even stronger, that’s on me!
I’ve also been going since 2023 for a hand injury, I cut a tendon, the ER wouldn’t give an MRI, so the only option was to graft it to another tendon, it will never be the same, but with the work we’ve done I have much more use and function in the hand, and my strength keeps increasing.
My dad was treated by the office on Waller avenue in Lexington for a serious hand disorder, the surgeon botched the surgery, but they still helped him immensely!
My mom broke the head off her humorous, required surgery, and with their help she has nearly 100% function.
Furthermore they’re seeing my child for EDS, so far they’re working on strengthen and stability and I see some improvement but they’ve been very accommodating to my child’s limitations, now they even have a specialist that just started who trained with one of the leading doctors for EDS, so I have 100% faith that we will see even better results soon.

You won’t find better care anywhere in central Kentucky

Professional!!!

The excellent and knowledgeable staff work together in this friendly welcoming environment to provide effective therapy. Success depends on the talents of the therapist. I was fortunate to have attentive and successful therapy guidance from a delightful talented professional. I sense an exceptional quality of training and high standards from all of the physical therapists working at Commonwealth Hand & Physical Therapy. I highly recommend this practice.

Comfortable atmosphere, caring people

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the clinic has multiple different tools to help you with your recovery

I am making wonderful progress from my tendon transplant surgery not even 4 weeks ago including pre-op, when I was on bedrest, which was 15 days before I was allowed to enter PT. The staff is extrodinary and positive always. I've got a couple more weeks to go, but I'm thrilled with "our" progress so far, and I'm shooting for the end of June as my finishing goal. Plus everyone knows my name and I know their's, because it's impossible not to in such an awesome place of healing.

They are absolutely outstanding. The amount of care and concern for each patient is rare. They have helped my father many times and even recognizing a problem before the doctor. It does not feel like a medical appointment. The environment is very welcoming and friendly!!

Great PT practice -- very professional and efficient. Very respectful of your time and maximizing it for your benefit. Convenient location, great atmosphere, good people.

I absolutely had an amazing experience with
the Commonwealth Hand and Physical therapy team. I started the program two months ago with a bad limp and sereve right knee pain. One of the physical therapist, Brian Shirley, came up with best strengthing exercises to help with my
knee pain. He is so kind and helpful and always making sure my goals were met each week. Front office staff were amazing and the facility was nice and clean. I would definitely come back for my therapy needs. Thank you for getting me back on my feet.

The staff here are always very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I've always shown great improvement when working with them fairly quickly each time. When I've needed therapy I go here first and its not even a second thought.

The care I get there is great! The atmosphere is friendly, no wait times, and all the hand therapists are excellent at what they do.

We had a great experience there! Madison was extremely nice, thorough, and did a great job explaining things

I had the utmost quality of care by the staff here. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. They are very knowledgeable, highly trained and friendly.

I find that the therapist Brian Shirley is one of the best.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very helpful towards recovery. 😊
