Pritikin ICR rehabilitation
The first of its kind in East Texas, Pritikin Intensive Cardiac Rehab (ICR) provides the education and support patients need to begin building a new, healthier lifestyle. Unlike traditional cardiac rehab programs that focus on physical exercise, Pritikin promotes recovery through three pillars:
- Safe, effective exercise
- A balanced eating plan
- A healthy mind-set
These pillars are introduced to program participants through immersive workshops, cooking classes and professionally-produced videos. The flexible curriculum can be tailored to fit patients’ needs, and is designed to support a variety of learning styles.
Monitored exercise, education and physician supervision come together to promote lifestyle change for people diagnosed with cardiac conditions such as angina, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure or heart attack. Through our ICR program, individuals receive the information they need to take control of their heart and lung health so that they may safely participate in activities of life with confidence.
Through Pritikin ICR, patients discover how to make meaningful lifestyle changes and develop personalized nutrition and exercise plans. Our specialists will teach you effective, evidence-based strategies for losing weight and help you learn how to make heart-healthy food choices, whether cooking at home or dining out.
