Let’s talk about heart stuff. Heart disease and heart failure are pretty serious business. They mess with your cardiovascular system, which basically means they can make it tough for your heart to keep up with what your body needs to do every day.

Heart disease is all over the place, unfortunately. In 2017 alone, it caused over 800,000 deaths in the US, and globally, it’s the big cheese, responsible for more deaths than anything else, even beating out cancer and lung problems combined. That’s some scary stuff.

And then there’s heart failure, which affects a whopping 6.2 million Americans over 20. And guess what? That number’s expected to jump to over 8 million by 2030. Yikes!

But here’s the good news: if you’re dealing with heart issues, a physical therapist can be your superhero. Seriously, we’re movement gurus. We can help you manage your condition, keep it from getting worse, and even lower your risk of getting heart problems in the first place.
