Cardiac rehabilitation at home: recover safely and live with more confidence
Home cardiac rehabilitation makes it possible to carry out a structured programme in a familiar, comfortable and safe environment, avoiding frequent trips to clinics, hospitals or health units.
Through an integrated approach, we combine supervised physical exercise, health education, risk-factor control, clinical monitoring and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
This support is especially important for people who feel tired, short of breath, afraid to exert themselves, or who have lost stamina or confidence after a cardiac problem.

Advantages of home cardiac rehabilitation
Choosing cardiac rehabilitation at home means receiving specialised care in a more comfortable, safe environment tailored to each person's reality.
A personalised, safe plan
Each plan is adjusted to the clinical condition, age, level of autonomy, physical capacity, symptoms and recovery goals, ensuring gradual, supported progress.
Fewer trips and more comfort
Rehabilitation at home avoids the strain of travelling, which is especially helpful for people with reduced mobility, frailty, easy fatigue or a fear of going out after a cardiac event.
Exercise adapted to daily life
Intervention at home makes it possible to train abilities directly related to the daily routine: walking around the house, climbing stairs, performing simple tasks, building endurance and regaining confidence in movement.
Greater adherence to the programme
Scheduling flexibility and close support make it easier to keep up with the rehabilitation plan, promoting better results in the medium and long term.
Involvement of family and caregivers
The family can follow the process, understand the warning signs, support the adoption of healthy habits and help with continuity of care.
Cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack, angioplasty or cardiac surgery
Home cardiac rehabilitation is an important response for people who have been through a heart attack, angioplasty, cardiac surgery, heart failure, stable angina or hospitalisation for cardiovascular disease.
With a structured programme, professional support and safe exercise progression, it is possible to recover physical capacity, reduce symptoms, increase autonomy and gradually return to usual activities.
