Physiotherapy
Rowcroft’s physiotherapist cares for patients across the hospice,
taking individual and group sessions. The benefits of these sessions
are physical, physiological and social; encouraging independence,
function, hope and self worth, providing relief from pain, improving
muscle and joint strength and general rehabilitation.
As well as working with individuals, the
physiotherapist runs specialist group sessions, including
breathlessness management which is aimed at optimising respiratory and
circulatory functions, group physiotherapy sessions at the hospice for
people living at home and gym based exercise sessions, aimed at
maintaining mobility and strength for as long as possible.
