Cardiac Physical
Therapy

Safe, medically supervised exercise rehabilitation for patients with heart disease, following cardiac surgery, or managing cardiovascular conditions. We help your heart โ€” and your whole body โ€” rebuild strength and confidence.

What We Do

Exercise is medicine
for the heart

Cardiac physical therapy is one of the most evidence-supported interventions in all of medicine. Supervised exercise rehabilitation after a cardiac event reduces mortality, prevents re-hospitalisation, improves functional capacity, and dramatically improves quality of life.

Our licensed DPTs work with your cardiologist's guidelines to design a progressive exercise program appropriate to your cardiac status, medications, and functional limitations. Every session is structured to keep your heart rate, blood pressure, and exertion within safe therapeutic ranges.

Many patients are referred to us following hospital-based Phase I cardiac rehab, or as outpatient Phase II/III continuation. We coordinate directly with your cardiac team to ensure continuity of care and clear communication about your progress.

Conditions We Treat

Heart conditions we
rehabilitate

โค๏ธ

Heart Attack (MI) Recovery

Progressive aerobic conditioning, strength training, and risk factor education following myocardial infarction. We rebuild cardiovascular fitness safely, reducing the risk of a second event.

๐Ÿ”ง

Coronary Bypass Surgery

Post-CABG rehabilitation including sternal precaution management, breathing exercises, and progressive ambulation. We advance your program as your sternum heals and your surgeon clears activity.

๐Ÿซ€

Heart Failure

Carefully dosed aerobic and resistance exercise for patients with reduced or preserved ejection fraction. Exercise tolerance and functional capacity improve significantly with structured cardiac PT.

๐Ÿฉบ

Valve Repair & Replacement

Post-surgical cardiac rehab following aortic or mitral valve procedures. We follow your surgeon's activity restrictions while progressively rebuilding strength and endurance.

โšก

Arrhythmia & Pacemaker

Exercise programming for patients with implanted pacemakers, ICDs, or managed arrhythmias. We monitor heart rate response and work within device-specific parameters.

๐Ÿฉธ

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Supervised walking programs and lower extremity conditioning to improve claudication symptoms, walking distance, and vascular function in PAD patients.

Our Protocol

Safe. Supervised.
Progressive.

01
Cardiology CoordinationWe review your cardiac history, current medications, recent stress test results, and your cardiologist's activity guidelines before your first session. Nothing happens without that foundation.
02
Baseline Functional AssessmentSix-minute walk test, heart rate and blood pressure response to exertion, strength testing, and quality-of-life measures. This gives us objective data to track your progress against.
03
Supervised Exercise SessionsAerobic training (walking, cycling, or other modalities), resistance training, and flexibility work โ€” all monitored for heart rate, blood pressure, and perceived exertion throughout.
04
Education & Risk Factor ManagementGuidance on home activity, diet, stress management, medication adherence, and warning signs. Cardiac PT addresses the whole person, not just the exercise component.
05
Independent Home ProgramAs your fitness improves, we transition you to a self-managed home program โ€” with the knowledge and confidence to exercise safely on your own long-term.
Insurance

We accept your plan

Cardiac rehabilitation PT is covered by Medicare (with qualifying cardiac diagnosis) and most commercial insurance plans. We accept BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, GEHA, and more. A referral from your cardiologist is typically required.

What our patients
are saying

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"Heart attack at 58. My cardiologist referred me here for cardiac rehab and it changed my relationship with exercise completely. I understand how to push myself safely now, and my ejection fraction has improved significantly over four months."

"Open heart surgery last fall. Starting PT was scary but the team monitored everything โ€” heart rate, O2, exertion levels โ€” every session. I progressed faster than my surgeon expected and feel genuinely stronger than I did before my diagnosis."

"Heart failure diagnosis โ€” I thought I'd have to stop doing anything active. My DPT built a program that worked with my limits and gradually expanded them. I'm walking 3 miles a day now, which my cardiologist calls remarkable."

Howard J. Heart Failure Rehab ยท March 2026

Your heart worked
to survive. Now let's thrive.

Cardiac PT is one of the most impactful steps you can take after a cardiac event. Same-day appointments available โ€” a referral from your cardiologist is all you need.
