Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the heart or its major blood vessels by specialized cardiac surgeons. These surgeries are usually carried out to treat serious heart conditions, prevent future complications, or reduce the risk of recurrence. Physiotherapy plays a vital role both before and after cardiac surgery by helping individuals build strength, improve cardiovascular endurance, and regain confidence in daily activities. At Ace Physio Sports, our physiotherapists deliver comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation tailored to your recovery journey.
Why might I need cardiac surgery?
Your doctor may recommend cardiac surgery if you have experienced a heart attack, suffer from coronary artery disease, valve disorders, irregular heart rhythms, angina, or heart failure. Surgical intervention is often necessary when medical treatments alone are not sufficient to restore healthy heart function.
Types of Cardiac Surgery
The type of cardiac surgery recommended will depend on your diagnosis, medical history, and the severity of your symptoms. Common procedures include coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angioplasty with stent placement, valve repair or replacement, heart transplantation, and the fitting of devices such as a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Each procedure has its own role in restoring blood flow, improving heart function, and reducing the risk of further cardiac complications.
Physiotherapy After Cardiac Surgery
During your hospital stay following surgery, you will be supported by a specialist cardiac rehabilitation team to safely begin your recovery. This multi-professional care ensures that you regain strength, mobility, and confidence as quickly as possible.
Once you return home, it is important to gradually reintroduce yourself to everyday routines. At Ace Physio Sports, our cardiac rehabilitation physiotherapists provide a full assessment of your strength, balance, fitness, cardiovascular tolerance, and walking ability. Together, we set meaningful short-term and long-term goals, such as climbing stairs with ease within a week or walking to a nearby store within three weeks. Your physiotherapist will then design a structured treatment program to help you achieve these milestones.>
Your personalized plan may include:
- Preventing complications such as respiratory issues
- Regaining mobility and functional independence
- Improving stamina and exercise tolerance
- Strengthening muscles, flexibility, and joint range of motion
- Managing symptoms like breathlessness or chest discomfort during activity
- Structured weight management and lifestyle changes
- Safe integration of physical activity into your daily routine
You will also receive a home exercise program that could include cardiovascular activities such as walking, gentle jogging, or swimming, alongside stretching and balance exercises. Just as important, your physiotherapist will teach you how to warm up and cool down safely, and educate your family or caregivers on how to support your progress. If needed, mobility aids such as walking sticks, outdoor walkers, or stair rails may be recommended to make your daily activities safer and easier.
The benefits of physiotherapy after cardiac surgery include:
- Faster return to mobility and independence
- Improved muscle strength and flexibility
- Enhanced cardiovascular fitness and stamina
- Close supervision to ensure safe progress
- Lower risk of future cardiac complications
- Increased confidence in returning to gym or recreational exercise
With consistent physiotherapy, most patients experience noticeable improvements in walking ability, endurance, and overall lifestyle quality.
