This innovative new movement and activity app, available on iOS devices, demonstrates
the valuable exercise portion of a more in-depth remote cardiac rehab program from
RecoveryPlus.health. It has been developed by highly experienced clinical rehab professionals who
understand the limitations and medical conditions some people face when trying to stay active. The
app is a stand-alone regimen for those who don’t regularly exercise but know they should. For more
information about the app, visit RecoveryPlus.health/app.
The program consists of nine different sections of clinically proven demonstrated exercises developed
by the exercise physiologists at RecoveryPlus.health:
- Easy – 15 mins – 30 mins – 45 mins
- Moderate – 15 mins – 30 mins – 45 mins
- Advanced – 15 mins – 30 mins – 45 mins
- There are 30-second rests between each exercise; each sequence is repeated 3 times with a
60-second rest between reps. Once the Easy section is completed, Moderate will unlock; after
that, Advanced will unlock.
Cardiac healthcare professionals, including cardiologists, pulmonary specialists, and nurse
practitioners, commonly prescribe some sort of rehabilitation program for patients who have had
cardiac events, heart surgery, hospitalizations or cardiopulmonary issues. Research proves patients
who partake in cardiac rehab, movement and exercise are healthier, less likely to relapse, and more
likely to make smarter lifestyle choices.
These prescriptive programs are traditionally conducted on site in doctors’ offices, hospitals, or rehab
clinics. However, an estimated 65-80% of patients don’t participate for a variety of reasons including
the inability to travel, access or compromised health. Some only engage for a few weeks. This gap is
now being addressed with top-quality remote cardiac rehab.
RecoveryPlus.health is the first completely personalized remote, or home-based, cardiac rehab
program designed for cardiac patients as well as those with other health conditions, recovering from
surgery or hospitalization as well as those who may be at risk. We provide all of the same features as
an in-person cardiac rehab facility, using telehealth communications and proprietary technology. Our
caring cardiac professionals meet with the patient on a regular basis and customize the program to
incorporate medication, strength and balance exercises, nutrition and diet education, monitoring of
vital signs, and updating the referring physician.
