Restoring Strength, Mobility, and Confidence

The Physiotherapy Department at Cardea Superspeciality Hospital is dedicated to helping patients regain movement, strength, and function after illness, surgery, or injury. Physiotherapy is not just about exercises—it is about restoring independence, preventing complications, and improving quality of life.

Our physiotherapists work closely with other departments, especially Cardiology, Neurology, and Orthopaedics, to ensure that rehabilitation is tailored to each patient’s needs. For heart patients recovering from angioplasty, bypass surgery, or heart failure, physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving stamina and preventing relapse.

Physiotherapy and Heart Health

Cardiac rehabilitation is one of the most important areas of physiotherapy. Patients who have undergone major heart procedures often face fatigue, weakness, and fear of resuming daily activities.

At Cardea, physiotherapy for heart patients includes:

·   Supervised exercise programmes to improve stamina and circulation

·   Breathing exercises to strengthen lung capacity and ease breathlessness

·   Gradual mobility training to help patients return to daily routines

·   Lifestyle counselling for safe activity, diet, and stress management

·   Close monitoring to ensure exercise is safe for the patient’s heart condition

This integration of physiotherapy with Cardiology helps patients recover faster and reduces the risk of repeat hospitalisation.

When Should You Consider Physiotherapy?

You may benefit from physiotherapy if you have:

·   Recent heart surgery, angioplasty, or hospitalisation for heart disease

·   Weakness, paralysis, or stiffness after a stroke

·   Joint pain, arthritis, or post-fracture stiffness

·   Chronic back pain, neck pain, or postural issues

·   Difficulty breathing due to asthma, COPD, or long-term infections

·   Age-related imbalance, falls, or loss of strength

In each case, physiotherapy not only improves mobility but also enhances overall cardiovascular health.

Preventive and Long-Term Focus

Physiotherapy at Cardea is not limited to recovery. We also focus on:

·   Preventing complications such as stiffness, clot formation, or muscle weakness

·   Improving endurance in patients with hypertension, diabetes, and obesity

·   Promoting active ageing through geriatric fitness programmes

·   Supporting long-term heart health by integrating rehabilitation with lifestyle management

Integration with Other Departments

Physiotherapy works hand-in-hand with:

·   Cardiology – for cardiac rehabilitation and heart health monitoring

·   Neurology – for stroke and paralysis recovery

·   Orthopaedics – for post-surgical and injury rehabilitation
