What is Cardiac Rehab?

Cardiac rehab is an essential program designed to aid individuals in recovering from heart conditions and preventing future health issues. This program encompasses a holistic approach to heart health, including support, exercise and education and has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of hospital re-admission and mortality related to heart conditions.

At Exercise Right and Rehab, our health professionals tailor a safe and effective physical activity plan for each participant, focusing on long-term heart health and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of future heart or stroke events.
