Cardiac Rehabilitation

Overview

Cardiac rehabilitation is a rehabilitation process that helps people who have experienced cardiovascular conditions such as a heart attack, heart surgery, stent placement or heart failure to regain their physical endurance through a safe and controlled program. The aim is to gradually return the person to daily life and an active life without straining the heart.

This process is not merely exercise; it is a holistic approach that addresses proper physical activity habits, lifestyle and motivation together. A personalized, controlled program that progresses under physician supervision is known to increase endurance and quality of life in many cases.

Who Is It For and Affected Functions

• Supporting the recovery process in people who have had a heart attack.
• Gradual return to activity after bypass or heart surgery.
• Increasing endurance after stent placement.
• Preserving functional capacity in people with heart failure.
• Reduced exercise capacity — quick fatigue, shortness of breath.
• Loss of strength due to avoidance of movement and low physical activity.

Rehabilitation Approach

Cardiac rehabilitation is always carried out with physician evaluation and under controlled conditions. The program is planned gradually according to the person's cardiac status and level of endurance. Exercises begin at low intensity; they are increased slowly within safe limits while heart rate, fatigue and tolerance are monitored. Breathing exercises, flexibility and endurance work are important parts of the program. Safety is always the priority.

What We Do

First, our physician evaluates the person's cardiac status, current capacity and level of risk in detail, and determines whether they are suitable for exercise, drawing safe limits. For us, safety comes first; because there is no disease, there is a patient.

After physician approval, our specialist physiotherapists prepare a fully personalized, graded program. We begin exercises at low intensity and, monitoring fatigue and tolerance, advance slowly without straining the person. Our goal is to increase endurance by working the heart within safe limits.

In our program we combine breathing exercises, flexibility work and functional endurance exercises. Helping the person acquire proper physical activity habits and return safely to daily life is a priority for us.

So that you can continue the process at home, we arrange a personalized home program and inform you about safe activity levels, rest and points to be mindful of. Through regular follow-up and check-ups we advance the program safely, aiming to increase your physical capacity and quality of life with a holistic and patient approach.
