Cardiac Rehab

What Is Cardiac Rehab?

Cardiac Rehabilitation (Cardiac Rehab) is a medically supervised program designed to help people recover after heart surgery, heart attack, angioplasty, bypass surgery, or other heart-related conditions. It combines physiotherapy, monitored exercise, lifestyle modification, and education to restore heart health, improve endurance, and reduce the risk of future cardiac problems.

At Acme Physiotherapy, our Cardiac Rehab program is carefully structured to support patients step by step — from immediate post-surgery recovery to regaining full confidence in daily activities. The goal is not only to strengthen the heart but also to empower patients to live a healthier, more active life.

What to Expect from Cardiac Rehab Treatment?

Our program is safe, supervised, and fully customized to the patient’s medical condition. Here’s what patients can expect during their rehab journey:

Initial Assessment & Risk Evaluation
A complete review of your medical history, current heart health, physical capacity, and lifestyle factors.
Monitored Exercise Programs
Gentle but progressive physical activity such as walking, treadmill sessions, cycling, and stretching, all closely supervised by physiotherapists to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Breathing & Endurance Training
Special exercises to improve lung capacity, oxygen efficiency, and stamina.
Lifestyle & Nutrition Guidance
Counseling on diet, stress management, smoking cessation, and adopting long-term healthy habits for better cardiac function.
Post-Surgery Recovery Care
After bypass surgery, valve replacement, angioplasty, or pacemaker implantation, we guide patients through safe exercises to regain mobility without straining the heart.
Emotional & Psychological Support
Dealing with a heart condition can be mentally overwhelming. Our program includes strategies for relaxation, stress relief, and building confidence to return to normal life.
Family & Caregiver Education
Caregivers are trained on safe practices, early warning signs, and how to support the patient’s recovery at home.
