What physical therapy focuses on after a heart incident:
1) Rebuilding endurance without overdoing it: PT helps you gradually improve stamina, using carefully dosed activity, rest breaks, and pacing strategies.
2) Strength, mobility, and confidence for real life - Many people notice: General weakness, Reduced mobility and flexibility, Difficulty with stairs, transfers, or walking distances
3) Balance and stability—especially after a stroke: PT often includes gait training, balance work, strengthening, and functional practice—so “getting around” feels easier and safer again.
4) Education you can actually use

Physical therapy can complement your journey—and for many people, PT becomes the practical bridge between “I’m cleared to move” and “I feel like myself again.”

A heart event—whether it’s a heart attack, heart surgery, heart failure episode, or a stroke—can leave you feeling like your body has turned into unfamiliar territory. One day you’re “fine,” and the next you’re navigating fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, balance changes, or the simple fear of doing too much.

February is recognized as Heart Month, a time to raise awareness about heart health and the importance of recovery after a heart event.

Here’s the good news: movement is often part of the medicine—when it’s the right movement, at the right time, with the right guidance. That’s where physical therapy comes in. Learn more: https://aquacarephysicaltherapy.com/health_articles/heart-month-how-physical-therapy-can-help/

Discover how physical therapy can support your recovery journey during heart month and help you regain strength after a heart event.

Pelvic floor therapy can often be relieving for menstrual symptoms, so don't feel like you have to cancel your pelvic floor appointment when you're on your period! (Unless of course you're not feeling well and would rather reschedule)
Although we're trained to be able to do internal when you're bleeding, there are plenty of external treatment options and exercises we can do if you're not up for the internal that day!
