How is Physical Therapy Used in Hospice Care?
Physical therapy in hospice care focuses on enhancing comfort, mobility, and independence for patients with life-limiting conditions. Unlike traditional rehabilitation, hospice physical therapy is centered on improving quality of life—helping manage pain, prevent stiffness, and maintain dignity in everyday activities.
Our licensed physical therapists provide compassionate care across Northern Utah, including Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, Nephi, and surrounding areas. Each care plan is personalized to meet the unique needs and goals of the patient, ensuring support during every stage of their journey.
Benefits of Physical Therapy in Hospice Care
- Pain Management: Techniques like stretching, massage, and positioning can ease pain and discomfort.
- Improved Mobility: Safe movement can reduce falls, stiffness, and help maintain independence.
- Emotional Well-Being: Gentle activity boosts mood, reduces stress, and helps patients feel more in control.
- Support for Families: Therapists guide caregivers on techniques to assist their loved ones safely.
