Physical Therapy for Heart Disease

Heart Disease Treatment in Georgetown, KY

Move Safely, Live Fully

If you’ve had a heart event — or are living with heart disease — it’s normal to feel unsure about exercise. Maybe you’ve been told to “take it easy.” Maybe you’re afraid to push too hard. But staying inactive comes with its own risks: weakness, loss of endurance, and more limitations over time.

Movement isn’t just possible — it’s powerful. With the right plan and professional oversight, exercise becomes one of the best ways to protect your heart and take back your life.

At Hyphen, we help older adults safely reintroduce exercise into their lives after a diagnosis of heart disease, heart surgery, or cardiac rehab. Our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy designs gentle, progressive, and medically informed programs that help you move with confidence.

Your program may include:

  • Cardiovascular conditioning at a safe intensity

  • Strength training to improve endurance and metabolism

  • Balance and mobility exercises to increase safety

  • Blood pressure and symptom monitoring during sessions

  • Lifestyle education for sustainable heart health
