Post Heart Incident Physiotherapy
Empowered Care, At Home – Supporting your mobility, independence, and wellbeing
Regain Strength and Confidence After a Heart Incident – In the Comfort of Home
Recovering from a heart attack or cardiac event can be both physically and emotionally challenging. At Peninsula Home Physio, we understand how important it is for you or your loved one to feel safe, supported, and well-guided through this journey—without needing to leave the house.
Our Post Heart Incident Physiotherapy service is designed for individuals across the Mornington Peninsula and South-east suburbs who are looking to regain mobility, improve strength, and return to meaningful everyday activities with confidence. Whether you’ve recently been discharged from hospital or are continuing your rehabilitation at home, our experienced physiotherapists come to you—helping you progress at your own pace in a familiar and supportive environment.
What Is Post Heart Incident Physiotherapy?
Post heart incident physiotherapy, also referred to as cardiac rehabilitation physiotherapy, involves gentle, structured exercises and functional reconditioning tailored to your individual health status. This approach supports recovery after:
- A heart attack (myocardial infarction)
- Cardiac surgery (e.g., bypass, valve repair)
- Angina or heart failure
- Other cardiac-related events
Through a personalised plan, we help improve your heart health, physical strength, and energy levels, with the goal of maintaining your independence at home.
Supporting You Every Step of the Way
At Peninsula Home Physio, our mission is to support people to live full and meaningful lives. We bring together compassionate care and up-to-date clinical knowledge to create rehabilitation programs that are safe, respectful of your pace, and tailored to your individual goals.
Your recovery journey is never rushed. We take the time to listen to your needs, collaborate with your wider care team, and adjust your plan along the way so it remains relevant and achievable.
What to Expect from Your Home-Based Cardiac Physio Sessions
Your physiotherapy sessions will be guided by one of our AHPRA-registered physiotherapists, all of whom are members of the Australian Physiotherapy Association and experienced in working with clients after cardiac events.
Your sessions may include:
- Initial comprehensive assessment of your physical condition and cardiac history
- Goal setting focused on what matters to you—whether that’s walking to the letterbox, climbing stairs again, or getting back to gardening
- Graduated home-based exercise programs to improve strength, endurance, and confidence
- Balance and falls prevention strategies to support overall safety at home
- Breathing techniques and pacing strategies to manage fatigue and shortness of breath
- Monitoring and adjustments based on how you’re progressing and how you’re feeling
Most of all, we provide support in a familiar home environment, where you’re more likely to feel comfortable and motivated.
