Carda Health

The wonderful people that stick by you Emily and Cedric and encourage you to go on! Also the instructors to allow us to get there! Something I will always remember to do!

I first found Carda.Health almost 2 years ago. I was newly diagnosed with a heart conditioned and needed to start a rehab exercise program. I chose Carda Health because they offered a program that let's you do cardiac rehab in your own home, with minimal equipment (they provide everything you need), and with very flexible hours. My first physiotherapist was fantastic. She coached, encouraged and sometimes pushed and I was the better for all of it. By the end of the 12 week rehab period I had developed an increase in stamina and was able to complete more every day tasks without taking as many breaks. I chose to continue on to the maintenance service. I have had three different physiotherapist during my year of maintenance and they have all been helpful to me. I had a set back when I injured my knee but my physiotherapist helped me through that setback and encouraged me to keep going. I know I would have given up without the accountability provided by the maintenance program. I am happy to say with the help of the program I am progressing and see my stamina once more improving. I highly recommend this program and have recommended it to one of my family members after their heart surgery.

physiologist are great, and try to help you succeed. Morgan, Jonathan, and Catlin Stork have been so helpful through my journey.

Love the program and the whole approach to increased health. Several people have mentioned that I look healthy and more confident. Caitlin and Jonathan have been great. I’ve had other physiologists as well and while I can’t remember their names, I’ve appreciated each one. Friends and family have remarked that I have more energy and sense of being present with them since being in the program. I recommend this to anyone who has physical challenges with breathing or heart issues.

Carda made it easy to keep a scheduled exercise program at home that was monitored for my safety and to conform with what the goals were for my recovery. It had 36 sessions (3/wk) and extra ones you could do on your own. It gave me flexibility in taking a session out of town and keeping on track. At the end of each session the provider would come on and discuss how I did on the specific session and if I had any questions, letting me know what she saw on her end while monitoring me. The sessions got tougher as I went through them and my provider will be going through my overall progress while I was on the program in my last session, which I look forward to. I also have an option of continuing to use their services on my own with less monitoring if I should want to pay for it, an option I am still contemplating. I am very satisfied with the program overall and would recommend it to anyone that needs this sort of assistance.

Andrew Mason Has been great helping me through!! So far, I'm seeing my blood pressure coming down and my strength rebuilding

My experience with Carda has been nothing but positive. After a week in the hospital with heart and lung issues, I was sent home and needed home healthcare. I was very weak and having difficulty breathing. I knew I needed to get back to exercising. During my research I came across the Carda program. After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to give it a try. From my first contact with the company, I was impressed with the professionalism. Plus, they provide all of the equipment to make it hassle free. Sam was my EP for the first part of the program. She was excellent. Sam was positive and very encouraging. I looked forward to “seeing” her for my 7am workouts. I completed the program and have continued with the maintenance program. Jonathan is my EP for the maintenance program and he is equally as supportive as Sam. I appreciate both of them and how they have, and continue to support me. I feel better and have seen a lot of improvement. We live in a raised beach house and I was having difficulty going up and down the stairs. Now I’m up and down at least four times a day with getting dogs in and out. I like the convenience of doing this program at home. I have, and will continue to recommend this program to others.

My experience with Carda Health was fantastic! I am not a morning person, never have been, but my schedule only permited me to participate in early morning sessions. While I was excited about beginning the program, that first morning was rough. I must say that’s when I met Haley and her enthusiasm and energy motivated me to get through that first day. As the sessions progressed she always kept me focused ensuring me I could make it on days I wasn’t feeling it. There was a moment when my BP dropped and she addressed my concern, explaining the causes assuring me that she “had me” and I was in good hands. She instructed me on alternative exercises when my knees reminded me I wasn’t as young as I thought and to her credit didn’t tease me when my coordination was tested. I later was entrusted to Sam for my sessions and we never missed a beat, a testament to the core values of the staff. Over all it was a great experience, so much so that I’ve signed on for a third stage. Thank you Carda Health.

I completed a local Pulmonary Rehabilitation program in 2019, and I was thrilled with the results. Three years later, due to a bout of pneumonia and a separate bout of RSV, I was seeking a new program. My sister found Carda Health online, and I investigated it for my own use. Without hesitation, I signed up for the program and got started right away. I met Meagan Hennegens, my exercise physiologist, and she provided encouragement from Week 1 to Week 12 when I graduated. Meagan was like having a personal cheerleader on my side. She was thrilled when I told her that I was finally able to play golf again. That program got me on my way back to where I needed to be physically. When I heard of the Phase III, portion of the program, I didn't hesitate to sign up. Now I work with Jonathan Ellison (exercise physiologist) who is my assigned "exercise physiologist". Jonathan, like Megan, goes above and beyond to monitor my workouts and my health. He is kind, helpful, and considerate. Phase III has helped me to stay focused on the program, continue to exercise everyday, and get healthier. After all, isn't that the goal, to stay active and healthy? So I say, don't stop when your 12 week program ends, instead, stay with Carda Health in Phase III. Don't stop; keep going!

When I started with Carda I was having problems breathing and had lost a lot of confidence due to seizures and falls Within a short time my breathing has vastly improved. My GP at my annual exam this week listened to my lungs and said wow. I asked good wow or bad wow. He let me know he was hearing absolute no sounds from my lungs Thank you Carda for helping me to work and reclaim my life!

I have never rated a company or product at the highest grade. Carda and Kara come as close as ever to get this grade.

Rachel Rugieri (?) is what made my experience successful & enjoyable. She was always very nice and answered all of my questions and was my best cheerleader. She is an asset to your company. She kept me on track & gave me excercises I could do and if for some reason I couldn’t she would give me an alternative. The only unfavorable thing I have to say about Carda (and it’s really not bad) is that I think they should maybe give a little more warm ups & stretching at the beginning and end. Thank you all for this program. I hope to continue.

All of the exercise physiologists (Don, Kevin and Johnathan) were patient, attentive and encouraging. They knew how much to challenge me, and I definitely saw positive results that were a great benefit to my social and work life.

I found Carda while searching for cardiac rehab videos online. Everyone I have interacted with at Carda has been knowledgeable, thoughtful and thorough. I have gotten stronger, which is no small feat, because in addition to mild congestive heart failure, arrhythmia issues and mitral valve regurgitation, I have denervation and myopathy in my limbs, from chemo, years ago. Despite the atrophy and nerve damage in my limbs, my strength had increased, as has my endurance. My heart is getting stronger and I can’t wait for my next echo to see where my ejection fraction is now. The coaches and EPs are competent, compassionate and encouraging, and It is comforting to be monitored while working out. Lastly, I love having the ability to keep going with the program.

I have had a very good experience with the Carda program. Both Katelyn and Caitlin have been quick to respond to any questions.

I was very skeptical prior to starting the program. I have completed 15 sessions thus far and am very pleased at how attentive and caring that my guide Kara R has been. She has inspired me to look forward to upcoming sessions and get myself healthier

Today's experience, as with all experiences, was very warm, friendly, and informative. Caitlyn let's me know that should a problem arise, she is there to help. I always that she is genuinely concerned about well I am doing and she adjusts the exercises accordingly.

Shannon is very good supporting in us as we move forward. Her concerns are very helpful. I appreciate what she is doing. Good program 👍

What made the experience so great for me ,l live in a rural area and driving was limited after surgery. Andrew Mason was always there for me when I needed to reschedule or was running late. I never had a problem with the equipment, which by the way was awesome to do virtual rehab. This program has helped me recover in a quick and easy way from home.

Andrew's support and guidance made this a great experience. He worked with both my husband and me to get the most out of the program.
