February is National Heart Health Month

February is not only about celebrating love but a time to learn more about your heart health. Heart disease and the conditions that lead to it can happen at any age.


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Cardiovascular diseases affect the heart and circulatory system (heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure).

Physical Therapy can play a key role in heart health:


  • Physical therapists may play a role in the rehabilitation of individuals with cardiac conditions. They can address musculoskeletal issues that may arise as a result of cardiac events or surgeries, such as joint pain, muscle weakness, or postural problems.


  • Physical therapists often collaborate with other healthcare professionals, including cardiac rehabilitation specialists, to provide comprehensive care to individuals with complex health needs.
