Physical Wellbeing

People with a life-limiting or terminal illness may find that completing activities or basic tasks, and maintaining independence can become more challenging.

To help combat this, we have physiotherapists and occupational therapists that can support you to maintain your independence and function in line with individual goals.

This can include:

• Improved pain management
• Reducing anxiety
• Management of breathlessness
• Improving sleep
• Managing fatigue
• Improvement in deteriorated function as a result of illness or treatment (e.g. surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy).

We also offer relaxation therapies including tai chi which can help with people’s physical symptoms, as well as support their mental health.

These interventions will be discussed with you during the course of your treatment. To find out what services are available to you, please call 0300 020 0694.
