The time following a cardiac event can, understandably, be very worrying. Elaine’s training in Cardiac Phase IV Rehabilitation can help you navigate your next steps back into physical activity and exercise with specialist guidance and support.

Whether you’ve had a heart disease diagnosis, experienced a cardiac event or undergone a procedure, a cardiac rehabilitation appointment with Elaine aims to give you the confidence to return to physical activity or to start exercising for the first time. You will be offered advice about appropriate exercise types as well as simple and practical lifestyle changes to manage symptoms over the longer-term.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Initial Consultation £45

Your initial session will be a relaxed consultation, where you will complete a detailed health questionnaire together, discuss any treatment and rehabilitation you have already received as well as giving you time and space to think about your aims for getting active again.

Following this session, Elaine will design recommendations for a structured exercise programme for you to carry out independently here in the gym.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Follow-up Consultation £45

Your first follow-up consultation is where Elaine will guide you through her recommendations. This may include carrying out some baseline testing such as a 6-minute walk test. Elaine will ensure that by the end of this session, you understand the programme she has designed, how to use the equipment suggested, and how to manage the intensity of your exercise appropriately.

Subsequent follow-up consultations provide an important opportunity to check your progress against baseline tests and give continued support and guidance for how to adapt your programme as your fitness improves.
