Our Therapy Services
Physiotherapy at St Margaret’s focuses on what matters most to each patient, helping them stay as independent as possible and maintain a sense of normality. Our physiotherapists assist with:
- Managing symptoms such as pain, breathlessness, anxiety, and fatigue.
- Improving mobility and overall well-being.
- Teaching self-management techniques to give patients a sense of control.
We provide physiotherapy across multiple settings, including outpatient clinics, home visits, our Sunflower Centre Day Hospices, and our Taunton In-Patient Unit. This flexibility ensures patients receive the care they need, wherever they are.
The occupational therapy team helps patients maintain independence and manage everyday activities, improving their quality of life. Our specialist occupational therapists work in various settings, including patients’ homes, our In-Patient Unit, and the community.
Our occupational therapists support patients with –
- Maintaining essential daily activities like dressing and washing
- Identifying and addressing challenges in the home environment
- Providing equipment, adaptations, and training to enhance safety and independence
- Supporting patients and their families to manage care effectively.
Our team is here to help patients live as comfortably and independently as possible, whether at home or in our care.

These treatments are tailored to help manage symptoms, promote relaxation, and enhance overall comfort.
