Cardiac Rehabilitation in Physical Therapy: Strengthening the Heart and Restoring Function

Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured and medically supervised program designed to help individuals recover after heart-related conditions such as heart attacks, cardiac surgeries, or chronic cardiovascular diseases. It plays a crucial role in restoring physical function, improving heart health, and reducing the risk of future complications.

Physical therapy is a key component of cardiac rehabilitation, focusing on safe and progressive exercise programs tailored to each patient’s condition. These programs are designed to strengthen the heart, improve endurance, and enhance overall quality of life while ensuring patient safety.
