Tailored Services for You
Cardiac Rehabilitation, This is a specialized program designed to help heart disease patients recover after a cardiac event (e.g., heart attack,bypass surgery) and improve their overall cardiovascular health. It typically involves exercise training, education on managing heart disease, and lifestyle modifications.
Management of Post-Operative Complications, Following heart surgery, patients might experience pain, weakness, or difficulty with mobility. PM&R specialists can help manage these issues through physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pain management techniques.
Strengthening and Conditioning, PM&R programs can help heart disease patients improve their muscle strength, endurance, and overall fitness level. This can be crucial for everyday activities and reducing the risk of future complications.
Balance and Gait Training, PM&R can help patients with heart disease regain balance and improve their walking ability. This can be particularly important for preventing falls and maintaining independence.
