Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Texas Children’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is changing the lives of our pediatric patients with acquired and congenital heart diseases by helping live a more physically active lifestyle – one that ultimately reduces the risk of future heart complications.

They learn how to meet the challenges of exercising appropriately and lifestyle habits that can influence their cardiopulmonary health:

Improving cardiovascular fitness through structured exercise routines, with results that include improved volume of oxygen (VO2) peak, weight loss/gain, and improved flexibility/coordination/balance
Lifestyle and motivational education on topics such as nutrition, sleep, exercise and stress management, including physical and emotional fitness

Why Texas Children’s

Our Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is the only one in Houston and one of only two such programs in Texas. We treat both children and adult patients in a one-on-one setting that increases learning and proficiency, unlike the impersonal aspects of group setting.
