Our Compassionate Approach to Palliative Care
Palliative physiotherapy is not about curing an illness, but about helping you live as fully and comfortably as possible. Our approach is highly personalised and flexible, adapting to your energy levels and needs on any given day. We listen to what is important to you—whether that’s being able to sit in a favourite chair or walk in the garden—and we tailor our therapy to help you achieve those goals.
We use gentle exercises, positioning advice for comfort, and techniques to manage symptoms like pain and breathlessness. As part of our wider physiotherapy services, we work closely with your medical team to ensure a coordinated approach to your care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is physiotherapy appropriate if an illness is advanced?
Yes. At later stages, the focus of physiotherapy shifts entirely towards symptom management. This can include pain relief, managing breathlessness, advice on comfortable positioning, and preventing complications like pressure sores, all of which are incredibly valuable.
What does ‘palliative care’ mean?
Palliative care is specialised medical care for people living with a serious illness. It focuses on providing relief from symptoms and stress, with the goal of improving quality of life for both the patient and their family. It is not limited to end-of-life care and can be received at any stage of an illness.
How can you help with fatigue and low energy?
We can teach energy conservation techniques, helping you prioritise activities that are most important to you. We can also introduce very gentle exercises that, when done correctly, can help improve stamina and reduce the debilitating effects of fatigue.
