Heart Month: Taking Control
Physical therapists can help improve cardiovascular health by understanding how the
cardiovascular system affects movement and function. They can provide appropriate
exercise education for maintaining or improving cardiovascular health, especially
for patients with conditions managed with medication. Physical therapists can also
address injuries and degenerative changes that make aerobic conditioning difficult,
and provide education on manageable aerobic training methods. Additionally, new
diagnoses or illnesses can lower cardiovascular health due to inactivity or reduced
daily movement. Physical therapy can address movement restrictions and provide
education to get patients back on track, improving their health and quality of life.
