CARDIO
REHABILITATION

Cardiac rehabilitation in physiotherapy is a specialized program designed to support individuals who have undergone cardiac events, procedures, or surgeries, as well as those with cardiovascular conditions. This type of rehabilitation aims to improve cardiovascular health, reduce the risk of future cardiac events, and enhance overall well-being. The components of cardiac rehabilitation include:

​

• Medical Evaluation: A thorough medical assessment is conducted to understand the patient's cardiac history, current condition, and any specific needs or limitations.

​

• Exercise Prescription: A structured exercise program is tailored to the individual's fitness level and cardiac condition. Cardiovascular exercises, such as walking, cycling, and aerobic activities, are gradually introduced.

 

• Strength Training: Resistance exercises are incorporated to improve overall muscle strength, including the muscles of the upper body, lower body, and core.

​

• Stress Management: Techniques like relaxation exercises, deep breathing, and mindfulness are taught to help manage stress, which can impact heart health.

 

• Monitoring and Progress: Regular assessments track the patient's progress in terms of cardiovascular fitness, strength, and overall well-being.
