Cardiac rehabilitation treatment plan
Cardiac rehabilitation's main goal is to assist you in developing a healthy lifestyle plan.
Your plan will include major components of physical activity, education, stress management and nutrition counseling.
Monitored physical activity allows you to increase the efficiency of your heart and lungs, strengthen your body's muscles and at the same time, help you gain the confidence you need to return to the daily activities you most enjoy.
Activity sessions are designed to meet your personal needs, interests and abilities.
