What is cardiac rehabilitation?

Clinical exercise for people with heart concerns involves carefully prescribed exercise programmes tailored to the exercise capacity of the individual.

The goal is to improve the strength and functionality of your heart, boosting your energy and allowing you to do more and find things easier than before.

Benefits of clinical exercise for cardiac conditions

  • Improved energy: Exercise improves the heart’s ability to pump blood and the body’s ability to use oxygen, making daily tasks easier and leaving you with more energy for the rest of your day.

  • Reduced breathlessness: Improving the efficiency of your cardiovascular system through clinical exercise reduces the amount of oxygen needed for a given task, reducing breathlessness.

  • Improved confidence: It is common to feel unsure or uncertain about what you can do while living with a heart condition. Clinical exercise can help you feel stronger, more mobile and fitter, which improves confidence about what you are capable of.
  • Reduced risk of future heart issues: Having one cardiac condition or surgery increases the risk of future problems.Having an active, healthy lifestyle alongside tailored clinical exercise reduces this risk substantially.

  • Increased life expectancy: Tailored clinical exercise helps improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease and increasing fitness increases the age of all-cause mortality.

Who can benefit?

Every programme is tailored to the unique needs and goals of the individual, ensuring your sessions are safe and effective, progressing in difficulty in line with your improved fitness. Our individualised clinical exercise programmes are designed to support clients who may have different cardiac health related considerations, including:

Post-procedure

We provide Phase 4 Cardiac rehabilitation services to individuals who have completed their acute Phase 3 Cardiac rehabilitation in NHS or private settings. Whether you have had a heart bypass, stented, or valve surgery or a cardiac arrest, we can help you improve your heart’s performance and long-term cardiovascular health.

Arrhythmia/Pacemaker

For those living with arrhythmias (such as atrial fibrillation) or pacemakers, clinical exercise improves their strength, stamina and energy, allowing them to manage their condition effectively.

Heart Failure

We help people with heart failure improve the efficiency of their heart and circulatory system, reducing symptoms such as breathlessness and swelling in the legs.

Kind words from our clients

"The longevity team has been incredibly helpful and empathetic with my husband, who suffers from Parkinson’s. They have managed to get him motivated by considering his all around needs and adapting the sessions as rarely two days are the same. He is moving forward in his ability to get his balance and strength back. We are very hopeful about his continued progress."

How we work

Our tailored cardiac rehabilitation programs are designed to help you rebuild strength, regain confidence, and return to the activities that matter most to you. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation with one of our exercise specialists and take the first step toward a stronger, more independent future. We believe in a personalised, multifaceted approach. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Initial consultation and assessment

The process begins with an initial consultation and thorough movement assessment so that we can fully understand your medical history and how your current symptoms are impacting your day to day life.

Step 2: A specialised exercise program

Once the movement assessment is complete, the Exercise Physiologist you will be working with will design a bespoke, engaging and dynamic exercise programme incorporating a combination of the recommended types of exercise for osteoporosis. They will also take into any other fitness goals you have, as well as any other conditions you may be managing.

Step 3: Ongoing weekly sessions:

Each week, you will have one or more live one-hour session(s) with your Exercise Physiologist, who will visit your home or coach you online based on your preferences.

Step 4: Ongoing guidance and support

Outside of the sessions, you can expect to be given an individualised home-exercise plan to complete in your own time and your Exercise Physiologist will provide encouragement, accountability and enthusiasm to help keep you on track.

We offer a tailored approach to ensure this is safe and effective for you/them.

Our approach can be gentle, supportive, and tailored to their abilities. We focus on making movements relevant to their daily life, which helps build confidence and motivation. We will also consider any hobbies, interests or anything else that may help build rapport to help trust in the process.

Yes. All our programmes are tailored to the individual’s abilities and medical history. We start with an initial consultation and assessment to find the safest and most effective exercises for their current condition and needs. We can begin as gently and progressively as needed and will provide support throughout these exercises to continually monitor how they are feeling.

Yes, family members and carers are welcome to be present during sessions if it makes the client feel more comfortable. This can also help you understand the exercises and support them in their progress between exercise sessions.

We offer home visits across London, Surrey and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, please get in touch.

This allows for meaningful progress while providing education and home exercises for long-term benefits. Many clients continue beyond this to maintain results and slow natural decline, but there’s no obligation to commit long-term.
