Exercise prescription
Following a cardiac event or surgery, it’s important that you return to normal activities of daily living, incorporating physical activity. When returning to physical activity or just starting out, it needs to be appropriate for you and your diagnosis/stage of recovery.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Service can help you through this stage. Below you will see a series of links to exercise videos designed for patients following a cardiac event or surgery. Once you have met with your Exercise Specialist, they will guide you on what level of the programme you should start with. You will then be asked to feedback on your progression using the exercise diary which you can access in the FORMS section on this website. This enables the exercise team to assess and amend your exercise prescription as appropriate.
Please watch the introduction before commencing any of the exercise and also ensure you are clear with the exercise instructions provided by the cardiac rehab team.
