What Is Deconditioning?
Deconditioning is a decline in physical function due to inactivity, illness, or extended hospitalization. It often affects endurance, muscle strength, balance, and coordination. Cardiac and pulmonary patients are especially vulnerable to deconditioning, which can make even basic tasks feel exhausting.
- Common causes we address include:
- Recovery after heart surgery or cardiac procedures
- COPD or chronic bronchitis
- Congestive heart failure
- Prolonged bed rest or ICU stays
- COVID-19 recovery and respiratory fatigue
- Age-related muscle loss combined with inactivity
Our Therapeutic Approach
We start with a thorough evaluation to determine your current functional level, vitals, and goals. From there, we build a safe, progressive program that may include:
- Low-impact cardiovascular training to rebuild endurance without overexertion
- Breathing exercises and pulmonary expansion techniques to improve oxygen intake
- Muscle strengthening and balance work to reduce fall risk and fatigue
- Energy conservation training to help you pace daily tasks without overexertion
- Vital monitoring during sessions for heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels
We coordinate closely with your healthcare providers to ensure your therapy is aligned with your medical needs.
