Have You (or Someone You Know) Had a Heart Attack?

Are you a victim of a heart attack?  Are you scared to go for a walk with a friend, your spouse or your dog?  Are you afraid to play too much with your grand children? Are you scared to play sports, laugh too hard, be intimate with your partner, or return to work?  Do you avoid doing the things you used to love to do, because you fear having another heart attack?  Are you or your family constantly watching for the warning signs of another heart attack? 

If you are reading this and you feel lost in the world of what to do or not to do, we have good news for you.  There is HOPE!  We have the answers you need, and we can get you back to being active again.  Cardiac rehabilitation reduces the risk of dying from another cardiac event by as much as 50 percent.  It also improves quality of life.

 At We-Fix-U Physiotherapy and Foot Health Centres, our team understands the anxiety and stress heart disease creates, which is why we are thrilled to announce our expanded Cardiac Rehabilitation program at our Cobourg location, at 727 William Street. 

Our scientifically proven approach is suitable for people who have known heart disease (angina, coronary artery disease, have had an angioplasty), have had heart surgery, a heart attack or minor stroke. It is also suitable for people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight or obesity and diabetes.

Our program is medically supervised, and our professional staff work with you to develop an individualized program, which combines exercise, education and lifestyle change, with the support of our multidisciplinary team.  And even better, once you graduate from the program, we are here to help you maintain your progress with ongoing support.

 

If you would like a safe and effective way to overcome the physical complications of heart disease, limit your risk of developing further heart trouble, and to return to an active lifestyle, then this program is for you.  Call 905-373-7045 to set up your no-obligation free consultation to see if this program is suitable for you.
