Caring touch
At Hospiscare we use complementary therapies to help relieve stress and tension, to aid relaxation and to promote a sense of wellbeing.
Hospiscare offers this service to patients and carers at home, as well as in day centres and the in-patient unit.
Symptom relief
Complementary therapies can help to relieve muscular aches and pain, constipation and swollen hands or feet.
We also provide aromatherapy blends which can help with symptoms such as nausea or itching. These therapies are used alongside medical treatment for patients and to support relatives or carers.
Help yourself
Our therapists teach simple massage and relaxation techniques to patients and carers so they can treat themselves.
Which therapies are available?
Aromatherapy, massage, reflexology and indian head massage are available. All the therapists are qualified and experienced in the therapy they provide.
