Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Program

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a circulatory problem that results from systemic atherosclerosis, or a buildup of plaque in the arteries. This blockage causes inflammation of the arteries, which reduces vital blood flow and oxygen supply to the body’s organs and extremities. 

People with PAD may be asymptomatic or have intermittent claudication (IC), which is activity induced pain, aching or cramps of the calves, thighs or buttocks. This typically resolves after a few minutes of rest or within 5-10 minutes of sustained activity. 

Our Peripheral Artery Disease Rehabilitation Program is adapted exercise to increase walking distance, restore function, and reduce pain.
