Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

It does sound like a physiotherapy referral is required. Given the stage of the cancer, and spread to the bones, then a physiotherapist would need to assess the spine and muscles carefully. They would be able to advise specific safe stretching and strengthening exercises that might help. The GP can refer to the community physiotherapy service. The hospital may be able to arrange a quicker referral to be seen.

I hope that she gets assistance with this soon.

Best wishes,

Vanda
