Our training in cardiac rehabilitation is meticulously tailored to each individual's unique health status and recovery goals. The program includes personalized exercise routines designed to match your specific cardiac condition and fitness level. The intensity of the exercises is progressively increased, guided by our expert team, to safely and effectively improve your cardiac function. This gradual progression is essential for enhancing cardiac health while minimizing the risk of overexertion.
This includes activities like brisk walking, stationary cycling, or using a treadmill. These exercises are crucial for improving the efficiency of the heart and lungs, promoting better blood flow, and enhancing overall stamina and endurance. The intensity and duration are carefully managed to suit your individual cardiac condition and fitness level.
Utilizing light weights or resistance bands, these exercises are geared towards gently building muscle strength without overburdening the heart. Strength training is vital for improving overall body strength, which can aid in everyday activities and support a healthier cardiovascular system. The focus is on controlled, safe movements that align with your recovery stage.
Stretching exercises aim to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and enhance range of motion, which is particularly important after periods of limited activity. Regular flexibility exercises can also aid in better posture and reduce the risk of injuries. These exercises are gentle yet effective, ensuring they are suitable for individuals at different stages of cardiac recovery.
These exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing, are designed to enhance lung capacity and efficiency. Improved breathing techniques can significantly benefit cardiac health by ensuring efficient oxygen supply to the body. Regular practice also aids in stress reduction and promotes relaxation.
Meditation, guided imagery, or progressive muscle relaxation are incorporated to manage stress, which is a significant factor in cardiac health. These practices help lower blood pressure, reduce heart rate, and create a sense of calm, contributing to overall heart health and well-being.
This aspect of therapy focuses on helping you make sustainable changes in your daily life, such as adopting a heart-healthy diet, managing weight, and quitting smoking. Counselling includes practical advice, support, and motivation to help implement and maintain these changes, which are crucial for long-term cardiac health and preventing future cardiac events.
