Managing Cardiovascular Disease

1. What makes WA Health Group’s approach to managing cardiovascular disease unique?
At WA Health Group, we take a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to managing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our team integrates physiotherapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic care, exercise physiology, dietetics, podiatry, and remedial therapy to provide personalised care that addresses all aspects of your cardiovascular health. This holistic approach ensures that we focus on improving heart health, managing symptoms, and enhancing your overall well-being.

2. How can physiotherapy improve my cardiovascular health?
Our physiotherapists design personalised exercise programs that improve heart function, increase endurance, and enhance circulation. These safe and effective exercises are tailored to your individual needs, helping you manage CVD symptoms, strengthen your heart, and improve your overall physical health.

3. What role does occupational therapy play in managing cardiovascular disease?
Occupational therapy helps you adapt your daily activities to reduce stress on your heart. Our occupational therapists provide strategies to manage energy levels, reduce fatigue, and incorporate heart-healthy routines into your daily life. This support helps you maintain independence and improve your quality of life while managing CVD.

4. Can chiropractic care help with cardiovascular disease?
While chiropractic care does not directly treat cardiovascular disease, it can enhance your overall wellness. Our chiropractors focus on improving spinal alignment and reducing musculoskeletal stress, which can improve circulation and contribute to a healthier lifestyle, complementing your cardiovascular care.

5. What kind of exercise programs do your exercise physiologists offer for cardiovascular health?
Our exercise physiologists create customized fitness programs focused on cardiovascular conditioning, strength, and flexibility. These programs are designed to improve heart health, reduce risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol, and promote long-term lifestyle changes that support your cardiovascular well-being.

6. How does dietetics help in managing cardiovascular disease?
Nutrition plays a crucial role in managing cardiovascular disease. Our dietitians provide personalized meal plans and nutritional guidance to help lower cholesterol, manage blood pressure, and support weight management. These dietary changes are essential for maintaining a healthy heart and reducing the risk of complications.

7. Why is podiatry important for cardiovascular health?
Podiatry is important for cardiovascular health because poor circulation in the feet and legs can be a common issue in individuals with CVD. Our podiatrists assess your circulation and address any mobility issues, offering advice on proper footwear and foot care to enhance your mobility and support an active lifestyle.

8. How does remedial therapy support cardiovascular health?
Remedial therapy, including therapeutic massage, helps reduce stress, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. This soothing approach supports your overall well-being and complements other treatments by enhancing heart health and helping you manage stress, which is a key factor in cardiovascular disease.

9. Can I expect a personalised care plan for managing my cardiovascular disease?
Yes, at WA Health Group, we provide personalised care plans tailored to your unique needs. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all aspects of your cardiovascular health, ensuring you receive the best possible care and support on your journey to better heart health.

10. How does WA Health Group support long-term lifestyle changes for cardiovascular health?
We support long-term lifestyle changes by offering ongoing guidance in exercise, nutrition, stress management, and daily routines. Our team works with you to implement sustainable changes that improve your heart health and overall well-being, helping you maintain these improvements for the long term.
