Heart Health and the Power of Movement

Living with a heart condition doesn’t mean you have to stop moving — in fact, safe and supported activity is one of the best ways to protect your health and improve your quality of life.

Here are a few simple reminders to keep your body (and heart) strong:

Choose activities you genuinely enjoy — exercise should feel rewarding, not like a chore.

Move with people you know, or use it as a chance to meet new friends.

Replace old habits with healthier ones — small, consistent changes make the biggest difference!!
Remember: move more, sit less. Every step counts.
At Oceanside Physio, we’re here to guide you with safe, tailored options so you can feel confident about keeping active, no matter your starting point.
Your heart will thank you for it. Start today — your future self will be glad you did.

Seated Pelvic Floor/Seated Pilates
Conducted in a seated position on stools with ergonomic cushions, the class focuses on augmenting core strength, refining torso control, and promoting a healthy spine in functional movements.
Unlike traditional weighted exercises, our approach entails activating smaller muscle groups, encouraging the body to work from the inside out.
