We believe physiotherapy in palliative care plays an important part in providing relief from pain and other distressing symptoms and can help you manage your condition.
We can advise and provide treatments that can help to:
• relieve pain and discomfort
• aid relaxation and mobility
• minimize problems with breathlessness and fatigue
• help address problems of balance and co-ordination
• sustain strength and help maintain movement
If you are an in-patient, or attending day hospice, you can ask any of the staff about the possibility of having treatments during your day.
We are developing our out-patient clinics at both sites and we also run therapeutic groups such as our Breathe-Easy Group (which runs 3-4 times per year).
