Your heart doesn't get
stronger automatically
after surgery.

Yes — when supervised and prescribed by a qualified cardiorespiratory physiotherapist. Exercise is not only safe but strongly recommended by international cardiac societies after cardiac events. The key is appropriate intensity, monitoring, and graduated progression. We do not begin intensive exercise — we start at your current baseline and progress systematically based on your response.

For most patients, gentle cardiac rehabilitation can begin within 1–2 weeks of discharge, or as soon as your cardiologist gives clearance for supervised physical activity. We will confirm the appropriate timing based on your specific diagnosis and procedure during our free tele-consultation.

No referral is required to book with us directly. However, we strongly recommend informing your cardiologist that you are starting home cardiac rehabilitation — and sharing your rehabilitation plan with them. We are happy to coordinate with your medical team if helpful.

Unguided exercise after a cardiac event carries real risks — either overexertion (which can be dangerous) or excessive restriction (which prevents recovery). A cardiorespiratory physiotherapist calculates your safe exercise intensity, monitors your response in real time, adjusts the programme based on your progress, and teaches you and your family warning signs to watch for. This is not something that can be safely replicated by following a generic exercise video.

International guidelines recommend a minimum of 12–36 supervised cardiac rehabilitation sessions over 3–12 weeks, depending on your diagnosis. We will discuss a realistic, individualised plan during your first visit.

We bring all necessary assessment and monitoring equipment, including a pulse oximeter, blood pressure cuff, and exercise equipment appropriate for your rehabilitation stage. No special equipment is needed in your home.
