Welcome

A little bit about ourselves

HeartWorks is a Wellington based cardiac rehabilitation service. We meet WHO criteria for an advanced cardiac rehabilitation service and offer you the structure to complete your recovery or advance your cardiac fitness.

Designed in 12 weeks courses.

How Heartworks works for you
  • First we require some information about your cardiac condition. This ideally comes from a health professional such as your cardiologist or GP. It is fundamental that we get the diagnosis right and know about other health concerns. 
  • All referrals are reviewed by a cardiologist. 
  • If you are ready to start we will organise a review by a cardiac exercise physiologist to create your individual training plan. 
  • If you require a few more baseline examinations we will advise you further and can help you get organised. In some patients an exercise test is required, others might require an echocardiogram or the combination of both, a stress echocardiogram. 
In cooperation with specialist services at

Come back and refresh.
