Cardiac Rehab Fort Worth & Plano, TX

Cardiac Recovery

What is cardiac rehab?

Cardiac Rehabilitation is a comprehensive, medically supervised program designed to assist patients in regaining their physical capacity and confidence in returning to a full and productive life following a cardiac event.

Returning to your regular routine after a heart attack or surgery can be scary and frustrating. You might feel frightened or uncertain about what you can safely do after such a major event. Cardiac rehab provides a supportive place both physically and emotionally for the patient to recover at their own pace under the supervision of an experienced and compassionate team of specialists. Our team of physical therapists  will review your personal and medical history and customize a program to meet your individual needs and personal health goals.

Additionally, patients are provided with educational resources that will help them to make health decisions that can help slow, stabilize, and even reverse the progression of their heart disease. In combination with proper medication and a heart-healthy diet, exercise is of vital importance to regaining heart function, decreasing symptoms, and stopping the progression of heart disease, and reducing the chances of another heart-related event.
