Heart Health: The Importance of Physiotherapy After Cardiac Surgery

Recovering from heart surgery is a journey that requires patience, care, and professional support. At Home Physio Group, we understand that every recovery is unique. Our specialist physiotherapists provide personalised, home-based rehabilitation to help you regain your strength, mobility, and confidence, all in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Why Physio Matters After Heart Surgery

After cardiac surgery, your body needs time to heal and adapt. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in this process, helping to restore mobility, improve circulation, and strengthen your heart through carefully tailored exercises. Working closely with your healthcare team, our physiotherapists design a program that supports recovery while reducing the risk of complications such as stiffness, chest infections, or loss of muscle strength

How Can Home Physio Group Help You

We bring expert cardiac rehabilitation directly to you. In the early stages, our physiotherapists focus on gentle breathing and mobility exercises to promote lung function and safe movement. As your strength improves, we will guide you through progressive walking programs, stretching, and light strengthening routines that suit your comfort and ability. This one-to-one support ensures you recover at your own pace, with the reassurance of professional care every step of the way

The Benefits of Home Based Cardiac Physio

Choosing Home Physio Group for your post-surgery rehabilitation offers numerous advantages.

  • Personalised sessions in your own home, reducing travel stress
  • Improved breathing, posture, and circulation
  • Reduced pain, stiffness, and fatigue
  • Increased confidence and independence
  • Continuity of care with experienced cardiac physiotherapists


Every heart recovers differently. This is why our physiotherapists take the time to assess your condition, goals, and comfort level before planning your exercise routine. We will help you strengthen your heart safely through guided breathing techniques, progressive mobility training, and light strengthening exercises. You will also receive expert advice on how to manage fatigue, monitor symptoms, and build lasting heart-healthy habits.

Ongoing Support for Long Term Health


Recovery does not stop when your initial physiotherapy sessions end. Home Physio Group helps you transition to an active, sustainable lifestyle by providing ongoing support and motivation. Whether it is maintaining an exercise plan, improving fitness, or preventing further cardiac issues, we are here to help you stay strong and confident long after surgery.

At Home Physio Group, we believe recovery is about more than physical progress, it is about restoring your confidence and quality of life. Our team provides professional guidance and emotional reassurance, empowering you to take control of your health journey and move forward with confidence.
