Managing Advanced Pain Through Therapy Support
At Divinity Health Care, managing advanced pain in hospice patients is about more than medication. We combine clinical expertise with targeted therapy support to help patients regain comfort, dignity, and peace—even in the most critical stages.
Our Dallas–Fort Worth care teams tailor every therapy plan to meet each patient’s needs, helping them feel more in control of their body, their mind, and their remaining time.
What Is Therapy Support in Hospice?
Therapy support in hospice care involves non-curative services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. These therapies work to:
- Ease chronic discomfort
- Improve daily function
- Enhance emotional well-being
- Support meaningful communication
Patients and families often ask: What is supportive therapy?
It’s a set of approaches focused on comfort—not cure—allowing patients to feel supported physically and emotionally during end-of-life care.

Real Impact: A Local Case
Take the case of Mrs. C from Arlington. Her advanced illness made communication nearly impossible. After several weeks of focused speech therapy, she regained the ability to express short phrases. Her family told us they “felt close again.”
This is what therapy support can do—not just reduce pain, but rebuild human connection.
