How it works
Graduated exercise improves cardiopulmonary function, reduces right ventricular strain over time, improves circulation, reduces DVT risk, and addresses the significant deconditioning that follows PE hospitalisation.
Always clear with your treating doctor before starting. Stop if you experience chest pain, severe breathlessness, or palpitations. Start very gradually — even 5-minute walks initially. Do not push through significant symptoms.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
