Cardiac rehabilitation is a guided exercise and education program recommended for people recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery, or those diagnosed with cardiovascular conditions. It provides a structured and supportive environment to rebuild cardiovascular fitness, strength, and confidence under professional guidance.

At Body Fit Physiotherapy, cardiac rehabilitation includes supervised exercise, monitoring your response to physical activity, and guidance around lifestyle factors such as exercise habits and long-term heart health. Each program is individually tailored to your condition, medical history, and stage of recovery.

Phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation programs typically run over 8 weeks. We offer a Phase 3 community-based program, which does not have a fixed end date. This program focuses on building confidence, independence, and long-term exercise habits. Many clients continue attending due to the supportive community environment.

Sessions involve structured exercise tailored to your individual ability and medical status, with ongoing monitoring and support from trained professionals. The focus is on gradually improving cardiovascular fitness and strength while ensuring safety at every stage.

It is completely normal to feel unsure about starting cardiac rehabilitation. Our program is suitable for all fitness levels and exercise experience. We meet you where you are starting from and design your program around your personal needs, supporting you every step of the way.
