February is Heart Month, the perfect time to focus on ways to protect your cardiovascular system. At Jeevam Therapy, we help patients understand that heart health is not just about diet or exercise intensity. How you move, sit, and function every day has a direct impact on your heart. Proper mobility, posture, and movement habits play an important role in reducing strain on the heart and supporting overall wellness.
How Movement Protects Your Heart
Regular movement helps your heart work more efficiently and strengthens your cardiovascular system. Benefits include
- Improved circulation for oxygen and nutrient delivery
- Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Enhanced heart muscle function
- Reduced stress through improved energy and movement confidence
Even simple daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or gentle stretching contribute to cardiovascular health. Through physical therapy services, Jeevam therapists help patients safely integrate movement into daily routines, especially for those returning from injury or managing chronic conditions.
Why Posture Matters for Your Heart
Poor posture can limit lung capacity and oxygen intake, forcing the heart to work harder during everyday activities. Proper alignment supports breathing efficiency, reduces strain on muscles, and promotes better circulation.
At Jeevam Therapy, we provide postural assessments and corrective exercises that strengthen postural muscles, improve spinal alignment, and enhance overall movement patterns. Even small improvements in posture can make daily activities easier and support long-term cardiovascular health.
Daily Movement Strategies for Heart Health
Physical therapy helps you incorporate movement safely and effectively. Examples include
- Low impact cardiovascular exercises such as walking, cycling, or treadmill use to gently increase heart rate
- Core and back strengthening exercises to support posture and improve breathing efficiency
- Functional mobility exercises like sit to stand, reaching, or step ups to maintain independence and endurance
- Stretching and joint mobility routines to keep muscles flexible and prevent stiffness
These strategies improve cardiovascular fitness and overall quality of life while increasing energy for daily activities.
