You can also take the following steps to improve heart health at home: 1. Aim for lucky number seven. Young and middle-age adults who sleep 7 hours a night have less calcium in their arteries (an early sign of heart disease) than those who sleep 5 hours or less or those who sleep 9 hours or more. 2. Keep the pressure off. Get your blood pressure checked every 3-5 years if you’re 18-39. If you’re 40 or older, or if you have high blood pressure, check it every year. 3. Move more. To keep it simple, you can aim for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a weekofmoderateexercise.Even ifyouexercise for30minutesaday,being sedentary for the other 23 1/2 hours is really bad for your heart. 4.

“They want the best for you!”
They worked with me everyday I had therapy with their undivided attention. When I first met my physical therapist they were kind, sincere, caring and they want the best for you. They really care about their patients, and they try their hardest to get their patients back to doing what they love. - AH
