Cardiac physiotherapy is a medically supervised program designed to improve a patient’s cardiovascular health if he/she has experienced a heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty, or heart surgery. Cardiac physiotherapy is an ongoing process over months, and sometimes longer. During the therapy process, Dr. Manoj will come up with a number of cardiac Physiotherapy in Gurgaon and relaxation techniques to reduce stress and teach the patient the exercises that will make his/her legs and core muscles stronger.
During the commencement of the physiotherapy process, the doctor will do an assessment to tailor the program to the patient’s fitness level. The type and intensity of physical activity recommended will depend on the severity of the patient’s heart condition, and the doctor may check the patient’s blood pressure and oxygen level several times during the session.

The pelvic floor muscles are vital for continence, pelvic stability and sexual function and they are adversely affected through pregnancy and delivery. To prevent long term problems, it is essential to start pelvic floor exercises as soon as possible.

During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes dramatic change in a short period of time. As the baby grows inside her womb, her hormones, posture and balance change. With time, as the baby gets heavier, the pressure inside her abdomen and down onto her pelvic floor muscles increases. This pressure means that her pelvic floor muscles need to stay strong to support the weight of the baby from above and to prevent leakage of urine. The muscles, joints and ligaments undergo many changes which affect the whole body, and it is common to experience a variety of musculoskeletal symptoms.
