In chronic diseases, physiotherapy helps to reduce the risk of exacerbations and successfully reinforce drug treatment.

In our department, physical exercises are available both for group and individual tutoring among patients with diseases of cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, nervous and genitourinary systems; with injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Bicycle ergometers with pulse control, an ellipsoid ergometer with pulse control, a treadmill, as well as required sports equipment for a variety of therapeutic exercises are placed in the exercise therapy room for training. Consultations and sessions on physical exercises are conducted by Physiatrists and Physical Therapy instructors which have the highest categories.
3. Working with a psychologist. According to statistics, after a heart attack, half of patients are found symptoms of depression and anxiety, which associated with life threat and inability to work.
