Palliative and end-of-life physiotherapy focuses on comfort, breathlessness relief, positioning, and preserving function for patients nearing the end of life rather than restoring it — a distinct skill set from rehab-toward-recovery work. In India it shows up almost entirely within Geriatric Physiotherapist roles attached to hospice wings, oncology units, or home-care agencies serving elder patients. Training is usually picked up on the job or via short palliative-care CME modules rather than a standalone certification, and demand is rising as urban hospitals and home-healthcare startups build out elder-care and hospice services.
