Cardiac Rehabilitation Services
Heart problems affect more than your heart. Cardiac rehabilitation services at Tri City Physiotherapy can help you understand how your overall health and daily habits need to change when diagnosed with a heart condition.
Tri City Physiotherapy Cardiac Rehab is a medically supervised program that is designed to smoothly guide you towards the improved health and well-being of your heart and body.
If you have suffered from a heart attack, heart surgery, have experienced heart failure or have heart disease, Cardiac Rehab is critical for your recovery process.
What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Cardiac rehabilitation programs help people make life changes that help to ensure a healthier future. Cardiac rehab is an essential part of the recovery process for those individuals who have had a heart attack, experienced heart surgery, or have been diagnosed with any type of heart disease.
Cardiac rehabilitation programs usually involve a specific physical exercise prescription and diet adjustments. Patients are educated about heart health and healthy living and receive counseling to help reduce stress and blood pressure. The exercise program – an important part of cardiac rehabilitation – is adapted to meet every individual patient’s needs. Each patient is given the tools they need to address their specific condition.
The Tri City Physiotherapy Cardiac Rehabilitation program is dedicated to keeping patients healthy and safe.
How it Helps:
Any patient who has experienced heart ailments or who has had heart surgery should consider cardiac rehab an essential part of their recovery process. The therapy not only improves the functioning of the heart but also boosts overall health and prevents future problems and risk of more serious outcomes.
Cardiac exercise programs – which are an integral part of cardiac rehabilitation – are adapted to meet every patient’s needs. The therapeutic approach to exercise varies depending on the patient’s specific heart problem and other related factors.
Common Questions:
Yes, smoking can slow down the progress of the program. Cardiac rehabilitation experts agree that smoking can be a huge risk factor for cardiac arrest.
The exercises will be focused mostly on improving cardiovascular function. Some of the cardiovascular exercises include walking, bicycling, light jogging or swimming. These aerobic activities are performed according to your fitness level and the advice of a Tri City therapist. The intensity and duration of the exercises will be closely monitored by a doctor.
In short, yes. Almost anyone with cardiac issues can benefit from cardiac rehabilitation. Cardiac rehabilitation can help patients suffering from congestive heart failure, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and heart attack. Patients who have an implanted pacemaker or have had a heart transplant, those who have chronic heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and other forms of cardiovascular disease can also benefit from cardiac rehabilitation. It is also useful for patients with congenital cardiovascular disease, who may or may not have undergone surgery.
A cardiac rehabilitation team may include physicians (such as a heart specialist, family doctor, and a surgeon), physiotherapists, dieticians, nutritionists, nurses, and occupational therapists.
