Infirmary Health’s Operation Circulation Vascular Rehabilitation Program
Operation Circulation, a vascular rehabilitation program for patients with
circulation disorders, is located in the ProHealth Fitness and Rehabilitation Center.
Participation in the program usually begins two to four weeks after diagnosis
of a vascular problem. Entrance into the program is by physician referral.
To be considered patients must have experienced:
Claudication (cramping in the lower leg caused by blocked arteries).
PVD (peripheral vascular disease).
Vascular surgery.
Post-op intravascular intervention.
Stents.
Angioplasty.
Exercise sessions consist of a walk/rest interval program to train leg
muscles to work more efficiently. This allows patients to walk longer
without pain. Our indoor track and treadmills provide a safe, monitored
environment to help improve quality of life. All exercise prescriptions
are individualized to meet each patient’s needs. Monitored exercise
classes are offered three times a week.
