Why Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation?

After a cardiac event, the thought of travelling to a gym or clinic can feel daunting. Home-based rehabilitation removes that anxiety, allowing you to focus entirely on your recovery in a safe, familiar environment. We monitor your progress closely, adjust your programme as your fitness improves, and ensure every session is conducted safely and at the right intensity for your condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to exercise after a heart attack?

Yes, with proper guidance. Cardiac rehabilitation is strongly recommended after a heart attack or heart surgery. We work within safe exercise parameters and monitor you closely throughout every session.

Do you treat COPD and other respiratory conditions?

Yes. We provide respiratory physiotherapy for COPD, bronchiectasis, and other chronic lung conditions, including breathing exercises and techniques to manage breathlessness.

Will I need clearance from my cardiologist?

We recommend informing your cardiologist or GP that you are starting a home rehabilitation programme. We are happy to liaise with your medical team to ensure our programme is appropriate for your condition.

How quickly will I see improvement?

Most patients notice improvements in energy and breathlessness within the first few weeks. We set clear, measurable goals and track your progress at every session.
