Who Can Benefit from Cardiac Rehab?

Our Cardiac Rehab program is ideal for individuals in Dawson Creek and surrounding areas who want to safely rebuild their health after a heart-related incident or diagnosis. You may benefit from cardiac rehab if you have or recently had:

• Heart Attack or Heart Surgery: Recovering from a myocardial infarction (heart attack), bypass surgery, stent placement, or valve repair/replacement.
• Chronic Heart Conditions: Managing conditions like Coronary Artery Disease, Angina, or heart failure that impact your daily endurance and quality of life.
• Other Cardiac or Pulmonary Events: Such as heart transplant, angioplasty, or pulmonary hypertension. Our program can be tailored for those with combined heart and lung concerns.
• Risk Factors & Deconditioning: Even if you haven’t had a major event, if you’re dealing with serious risk factors (like obesity or high blood pressure) and find yourself winded by minor exertion, cardiac rehab can be a proactive step to improve your cardiovascular health safely.

Not sure if cardiac rehab is right for you? Deep Physio will conduct a thorough assessment and also coordinate with your physician. 

In fact, we require a doctor’s note clearing you for exercise before starting the program, to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for your specific condition. 

If you have any of the conditions above and clearance from your doctor, chances are you can greatly benefit from our cardiac rehab services.

Our Approach to Cardiac Rehab at Deep Physio

At Deep Physio, we take a personalized and closely monitored approach to cardiac rehabilitation. 

We know that everyone’s heart journey is unique, so we tailor the program to fit your needs, medical condition, and pace. 

Here’s what you can expect when you join our cardiac rehab in Dawson Creek:

• Professional Oversight: Your program is overseen by a licensed physiotherapist and delivered by a specially trained kinesiologist. This means medical expertise guides every exercise you do. We start with a comprehensive Physiotherapy Assessment to determine your baseline fitness, discuss your medical history, and identify any precautions. This evaluation helps us design the safest and most effective plan for you.
• Customized Exercise Plan: Based on your assessment, we develop an exercise regimen tailored to you. Whether you’re just starting to walk again or ready for light aerobics, we’ll meet you at your level. Your plan might include activities like treadmill walking, cycling on a stationary bike, light strength training, and flexibility exercises – all adjusted to suit your capabilities.
• 6-Week Structured Program: Our core cardiac rehab program runs for 6 weeks with three sessions per week. Each session is about one hour of supervised exercise and coaching. During these classes, our experienced kinesiologist will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and overall effort. They’ll guide you through the workout, ensuring proper technique and providing encouragement. As weeks go by, you’ll likely notice improvements and we’ll gradually increase your activity level in a safe manner.
• Lifestyle & Education: Recovery is not just about exercise. We incorporate educational components – you’ll learn tips for heart-healthy living, like how to eat well for your heart, manage stress, and take your medications properly. We’ll also teach you warning signs to watch for and how to exercise on your own after the program. This knowledge will empower you to maintain your heart health long after you’ve completed rehab.
• Final Review & Transition: At the end of the program, we conduct a final review and progress report. We’ll measure how far you’ve come – improvements in your endurance, strength, blood pressure, etc. Our team will compile a report and can even send it to your family physician or cardiologist for continuity of care. During this wrap-up, we’ll celebrate your progress and discuss next steps. Many graduates continue with independent exercise routines or join maintenance classes, and we make sure you have a clear plan moving forward.

Throughout the rehab process, your safety is our top priority. 

We keep open communication with you and your healthcare providers, and we’re ready to adjust your program if anything changes. 

The atmosphere in our cardiac rehab sessions is supportive and positive – you’ll be surrounded by professionals who understand your journey and fellow participants who share similar goals, creating a motivating community feel.
