Who is Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy for?

Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy is for anyone whose quality of life can be improved through learning better how to manage their illness in terms of everyday living. We aim to maximise your independence and quality of life through providing personalised therapeutic interventions.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a palliative illness, please phone the Warrington Integrated Pallative Care Hub on 0333 3661066 for advice and support.
