Cardiac Rehabilitation

The cardiac rehabilitation process involves multiple treatment modalities, including: healthy activity regimens, balanced meal plans, prescribed medications, and smoking cessation support. The programmes may also go on to provide healthy stress relief methods and psychological counselling as required. Cardiac rehabilitation at Faircape Health is administered by a Multidisciplinary Team of healthcare practitioners to provide the most comprehensive treatment possible. 

Types of Care Offering Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation may incorporate minor, moderate or intensive activity programmes. Our approach to cardiac rehabilitation involves continuous cardiac monitoring during exercise, and gradual improvement of exercise tolerance to restore heart health insofar as is possible with the aid of multiple devices. Cardiac Rehabilitation is offered in:

Acute Care

Acute care is a branch of secondary healthcare where a patient receives active but short-term treatment for a severe injury or episode of illness, an urgent medical condition, or during recovery from surgery.

Sub-Acute Care & Rehabilitation

Sub-acute care is care provided in a hospital environment – typically after an acute hospital or Intensive Care Unit stay. Sub-acute care and rehabilitation facilities differ from intensive care environments in that they are led by allied discipline clinicians supported by medical generalists focusing on rehabilitation.

Our Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Approach

Clinical evidence shows that treatment outcomes are best when treatment is administered by an MDT incorporating a variety of practitioners. At Faircape Health, we bring together healthcare professionals from different fields to collaborate on treatment plans for optimal clinical outcomes in the acute care setting. Primary and allied healthcare practitioners combine their specialities to administer the most comprehensive treatment plans available. Our cardiac rehabilitation treatment regimens do not focus exclusively on disease, but rather on optimising wellness, and function.

Following an initial complex assessment, the treating physiotherapist will develop a custom tailored treatment plan to improve quality of life, exercise tolerance and overall physical functioning. Referral to our cardiac rehabilitation team will occur here, whether if be nutritional support from a dietitian, occupational therapist to assist with return to work or activities of daily living, the MDT collaborates to ensure this is as comprehensive as is needed.
