A cardiac rehab program is a specialised program provided by our physiotherapists who have experience in helping people recover from heart surgery or procedures such as heart bypass, stenting, and angioplasty. The main goal of the program is to help individuals regain their fitness, strength, and activity level in a safe and controlled manner.
During our cardiac rehab program, a physiotherapist will work closely with you to develop a personalised exercise and rehabilitation plan. The plan will take into account your medical history, current health status, and any specific needs or limitations you may have.
The program may involve a combination of exercise, education, and counseling to help you achieve your rehabilitation goals. The exercises may also include cardiovascular training, strength training, and flexibility exercises, and will be carefully designed to ensure that you can safely perform them.
Cardiac rehab programs are designed to meet the individual needs of each patient, and can provide a range of benefits, including improved physical function, increased strength and endurance, reduced symptoms, and improved quality of life.
Research has shown that individuals who participate in cardiac rehab programs have a lower risk of future cardiac events and experience improved long-term outcomes compared to those who do not participate in such programs. Cardiac rehab is an essential component of the recovery process and can help individuals achieve optimal health and well-being after heart surgery or other procedures.
The length of time needed to complete a cardiac rehab program can vary depending on the individual's fitness level and recovery progress. It typically takes between 6 weeks to 6 months to achieve optimal fitness and prevent future heart problems.
The duration of the program will be determined by the individual's specific needs and goals. During the program, the physiotherapist will monitor the individual's progress and adjust the program accordingly. They will also provide guidance on how to maintain the benefits of the program over the long term.
The program will include warm up, stretching and strengthening exercises as well as activities that raise your pulse rate like walking fast, marching, cycling and then end with a cool down. The warm up is key as prepares the heart for the pulse raising exercises ensuring they are safe. Physiotherapists at Health2u have pulse recording devices so that you can measure your pulse rate when exercising – this ensures that you work hard enough to increase your fitness but not too hard to strain your heart while recovering.
