A cardiac physiotherapist to support you with heart disease

If you wish, a cardiac physiotherapist specialised in cardiac rehabilitation will support you after a cardiac diagnosis or operation. Timely cardiac physiotherapy and individualised guidance are important for your rehabilitation and recovery. The aim is to encourage, guide and support you to exercise safely and effectively, despite your heart condition, taking into account your overall heart condition.

A visit to a cardiac physiotherapist can include a performance assessment, for example a 6-minute walk test, and a variety of physical activity sessions. Often a single visit to the cardiac physiotherapist is sufficient, but a follow-up visit can be arranged for 3-6 months if necessary. Visits can be arranged for longer periods if you wish.

Our cardiac physiotherapist Heli Koskinen works at the Sydänkeskus Helsinki. You can call her or make an appointment by calling 09 3747 9700. Anyone who is concerned about their own heart health is welcome.
