Anyone who has survived a heart event is invited to a talk on exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in Ōrewa next month.
The event is being organised by the charitable group Heartbeats, with guest speaker Matthew Wood, a clinical exercise physiologist, senior lecturer, and manager of the Human Potential Centre, at AUT Millennium.
Wood will talk about patient-individualised exercise programmes for improving recovery from a heart event and increasing longevity.
Appropriate exercise is seen as a key part of heart health management and reducing hospital readmission.
Heartbeats and AUT are collaborating in offering the Heartbeats cardio programme across the Hibiscus Coast, with the view of extending it to Warkworth where there are several members.
The talk will be held at the Hibiscus Coast Community House, 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway (behind the Estuary Arts Centre), on Tuesday, May 7, starting at 10am.
