When Should You See a Physical Therapist for Heart Health?

FYZICAL Chicago Heart Health Therapy

Physical Therapy & Heart Health

When people think of physical therapy, they often associate it with injury recovery. However, physical therapy is also a valuable tool for improving heart health. If you experience shortness of breath during light exercise, frequent fatigue, or difficulty keeping up with daily activities, it may be time to see a physical therapist. These signs could indicate that your cardiovascular endurance needs improvement, and a structured therapy plan can help you build stamina safely.

Cardiovascular Fitness

At FYZICAL, we assess your cardiovascular fitness and design customized therapy plans to help you move better while strengthening your heart. Our programs focus on guided aerobic exercises, strength training, and mobility work—all tailored to your needs and abilities. We work with individuals recovering from cardiac events, those looking to prevent heart disease, and anyone wanting to improve their overall endurance.

Working with a Physical Therapist

One of the biggest benefits of working with a physical therapist for heart health is the ability to exercise safely. Many people worry about overexertion or worsening existing conditions, but with expert guidance, you can engage in heart-healthy activities at a pace that suits you. We gradually increase intensity to help you build confidence, avoid injury, and improve cardiovascular function over time.
