Graduated Walking Programme
for Pulmonary Embolism Recovery
A structured programme of gradually increasing walking distance and intensity following PE. Early ambulation once anticoagulation is established helps restore exercise capacity and reduces deconditioning.
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.
What to watch for
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.
