Every programme is built around your cardiac condition, comorbidites, symptoms and goals. There's no standard template. The first session is always an assessment to understand and evaluate your functional capacity, which will enable me to monitor your progress before and after rehabilitation, and establish safe exercise intensity prescriptions.
Sessions are one-to-one, so you get my full attention throughout. Adjusting the programme as needed.
