Westerly Hospital’s Cardiac Rehab department offers a 12-week, 36-session medically supervised exercise training program for patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). The program is designed to help to improve walking ability and decrease exercise-induced symptoms through cardiovascular exercise and resistance training and is open to adults of all ages and fitness levels. The program includes individualized exercise prescription specifically for patients with PAD, blood pressure monitoring and educational handouts and lectures on topics related to PAD. Potential benefits of the program include increased aerobic capacity, reduced cardiac disease risk factors, improved blood glucose levels, improved quality of life, potential weight loss, improved overall walking and stair climbing ability and increased time until onset of claudication pain. Sessions are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the Morgan Medical Building (below).
