Cardiac Rehabilitation Support

The Behavioral Component Your Cardiac Rehab Program Is Missing

Live, instructor-led movement and mindfulness designed for post-cardiac event patients - gentle enough for day one, structured enough to build lasting habits that reduce readmissions and improve outcomes.

Cardiac Rehab Has an Engagement Crisis

The clinical evidence for cardiac rehabilitation is overwhelming - but patients aren't showing up, and they aren't staying.

Only 24%
of eligible patients participate in cardiac rehab at all
56%
dropout rate among those who do enroll in traditional programs
1 in 4
Americans will develop heart failure in their lifetime

Mind-Body Cardiac Rehab Delivers Measurable Results

Meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials consistently show that movement and mindfulness improve cardiovascular biomarkers - blood pressure, heart rate variability, anxiety, and depression - the same outcomes traditional cardiac rehab targets.

Five Components, One Integrated Program

Each element is designed specifically for cardiac patients - gentle enough for early recovery, progressive enough to build lasting cardiovascular health habits.

Heart-Safe Gentle Movement

Chair-based and standing movement modified for cardiac patients. Builds strength, flexibility, and confidence without pushing heart rate into unsafe zones. All classes monitored by instructors trained in cardiac populations.

Blood Pressure & HRV Breathing

Pranayama techniques clinically shown to lower systolic blood pressure and improve heart rate variability. Slow, controlled breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system - the body's natural "rest and repair" mode.

Stress & Anxiety Management

Post-cardiac event anxiety is real and undertreated. Guided meditation, body scans, and deep relaxation practices help patients manage the fear and hypervigilance that often follow a cardiac event - reducing cortisol and supporting recovery.

Sleep & Recovery Support

Sleep disruption is one of the most common complaints after cardiac events and procedures. iRest deep relaxation and evening practices help patients restore healthy sleep patterns without additional medication.

Live Community & Accountability

Small-group live classes online with real instructors who know participants by name. The social connection and accountability that apps and recorded content can't provide - and that keeps cardiac patients engaged long enough to build lasting habits.

Gentle movement practice

This program is a structured complement to standard cardiac rehabilitation and ongoing medical care. All classes are taught by certified instructors with experience in therapeutic populations. Participants continue their existing cardiac rehab, medications, and medical treatment while adding evidence-based movement and mindfulness support.

Flat-Fee Licensing, Not Per-Participant Billing

We price as program licenses, not per-head costs. Your organization gets unlimited participant access within the program, so you can scale enrollment without budget surprises.

Budget Certainty

One flat fee covers your entire program. No per-participant billing means you can enroll more patients without additional cost.

Lower Than Competitors

Digital cardiac wellness programs typically charge $500-$1,200 per participant. Our program licenses cost a fraction of that per patient.

Volume Flexibility

Multi-program and multi-site licensing available. The more conditions you cover, the better the overall investment.

Give Your Cardiac Patients the Support They're Not Getting

76% of eligible patients never start cardiac rehab. For those who do, behavioral support makes the difference between a program they complete and one they abandon. Let's discuss how Ompractice can complement your existing cardiac rehab protocol.
