A cardiac event can change everything overnight.
After experiencing heart failure, cardiac rehabilitation helped David rebuild his fitness and trust in his body.
This festive season, he is looking ahead – because rehab supported his recovery.
Thank you to physiotherapy workers and all delivering cardiac rehab and supporting recovery under winter pressure.
