Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy in palliative care can play an important part in providing relief from pain and other distressing symptoms and can help you manage your condition.

Advice or treatments provided 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.

Patient care is continually reviewed by the multi-professional team and if physiotherapy is indicated then it will be offered. 

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.

Our Physiotherapy/Occupational Therapy Technician is based at our Crawley site and can advise and help address problems.

We are actively recruiting to fill our physiotherapy vacancies and therefore currently this service is limited.
