Physiotherapist

Physiotherapists work at Pirkanmaa Hospice both at the ward and at the day center. 

Their work is centered on supporting and guiding the patients for them to maintain their operational skills, and to encourage to use whatever reserves they have left. Guidance in using helpful appliances and helping to procure them is an important part of their work.

The physiotherapist is able to help with controlling many symptoms, such as respiratory problems and various pain situations, that can often be alleviated without resorting to drugs.
