From paediatrics to geriatrics, from the early stages of a disease to the terminal phase, international experts provide a structured guide to the wide-ranging possibilities that physiotherapy has to offer as part of end of life care. Comprehensive advice as well as practical tips can be found in case studies and personal accounts. Insight is provided to clinical and non-clinical aspects as well as appropriate contextual information, for example common symptoms such as pain, breathlessness, oedema, fatigue, weakness, anxiety or dementia medication, symptoms of cord compression and palliative care emergencies special features of paediatric palliative care communication with patients and their families ethics, intercultural proficiency and spirituality opportunities for therapist self-care This is a book for all those (not only in hospices and palliative care units) faced with caring for critically ill and terminally ill patients – essential reading for a professional, considered approach.
