What is Cardiac Physiotherapy?

Cardiac physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help patients recover from heart conditions and improve their cardiovascular health. A qualified physiotherapist will create a personalized exercise program tailored to your specific needs and goals. This program may include:

• Exercises to improve cardiovascular fitness:

Gentle aerobic exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling can help strengthen your heart and improve blood flow.

• Strength training:

This can help improve muscle tone and overall physical function, making daily activities easier and reducing the risk of falls.

• Balance and coordination exercises:

These can improve stability and prevent falls, which are a particular concern for some heart patients.

• Education on lifestyle modifications:

Your physiotherapist will provide guidance on healthy habits like diet, stress management, and smoking cessation, which all contribute to improved heart health.

Benefits of Physiotherapy for Heart Patients:

Cardiac physiotherapy offers numerous benefits for those recovering from or living with heart conditions. Here are some key advantages:

• Improved exercise capacity:

Regular exercise programs can significantly increase your stamina and ability to perform daily activities with less fatigue.

• Reduced risk of future cardiac events:

Exercise strengthens your heart muscle and improves blood flow, lowering the risk of future heart problems.

• Weight management:

Physiotherapy can help you manage your weight, a crucial factor in preventing heart disease.

• Increased confidence and independence:

By improving your physical capabilities, physiotherapy empowers you to manage daily activities with greater confidence.
