A Healthy Heart

February is the perfect time to focus on heart health, and what better way to show your heart some love than through movement? Physiotherapy at MET Phys offers targeted exercises and rehabilitation strategies to support cardiovascular wellness, improve circulation, and enhance overall heart function.

Your heart is a muscle, and like any muscle, it needs regular activity to stay strong. Physiotherapy can help individuals of all fitness levels engage in safe and effective movement tailored to their specific needs.

  • Improve Circulation: Enhance blood flow with structured exercise plans, reducing the risk of high blood pressure and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
  • Increase Endurance: Build cardiovascular fitness gradually and safely through targeted movement and low-impact activities.
  • Support Recovery: Assist those managing heart conditions or recovering from cardiac events with individualised rehabilitation programs.
  • Exercise Prescription: Physiotherapists develop tailoured exercise plans that gradually build cardiovascular endurance without overstraining the heart.
  • Breathwork & Posture Correction: Enhancing breathing efficiency and posture can improve oxygen intake and circulation, supporting heart function.
