Losing Weight Before Surgery: A Key Component of Cardiovascular Rehabilitation

Achieving a healthy weight is crucial for anyone preparing for cardiovascular surgery. Excess weight can increase the risk of complications during and after heart surgery, impacting your recovery and overall health. At BioMotion, we recognize the importance of weight management as part of our comprehensive cardiovascular rehabilitation services.

Why Weight Loss Matters

Cardiac Prehab: Preparing for Surgery with Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac prehabilitation, or cardiac prehab, is a proactive approach to preparing patients for cardiovascular surgery. This specialized form of rehabilitation is designed to optimize physical and mental health before surgery, improve outcomes, and facilitate a smoother recovery process.

Who Can Benefit from Cardiac Prehab?

Cardiac prehab is beneficial for a wide range of patients preparing for cardiovascular surgery, including those who:

  • Have Diagnosed Heart Conditions: Patients with conditions such as coronary artery disease, coronary heart disease, heart failure, or arrhythmias can improve their overall health and surgical outcomes through prehab.
  • Are Scheduled for Major Heart Surgery: Individuals preparing for procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacement, or heart transplantation can significantly benefit from pre-surgical rehabilitation.
  • Possess Risk Factors for Complications: Patients with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or other risk factors for surgical complications can reduce their risks by engaging in a prehab program.

How Cardiac Prehab Helps Patients Prepare for Surgery

Engaging in cardiac prehab offers numerous benefits that enhance surgical readiness and postoperative recovery.

Structured exercise programs tailored to the individual’s fitness level help strengthen the heart and improve cardiovascular endurance, making the body more resilient during surgery.

 

Emotional support and stress management techniques help patients cope with the anxiety associated with impending surgery, fostering a positive mindset.

Nutritional counseling and lifestyle education empower patients to adopt heart-healthy behaviors that contribute to better surgical outcomes and long-term health.

I developed my SI joint injury while deployed to Iraq 7 years ago. When I contacted the military clinic, I was just diagnosed with Sciatic pain and given Motrin. When the pain become unbearable after 7 years and my leg started getting numb more frequently, I was referred to Derek. Within 20 mins of the consultation he was able to cure 7 years of pain. I was able to walk out of his office that day pain free. The facility is an inviting open envoironment; consistantly cleaned and maintained. The surprising part was how the staff remembered each and every customers name, considering the amount of customers they recieve on a daily basis. I was always referred and acknowledge on a first name basis. To be even more astonished, I was surprised to hear that Derek and his staff is available on the weekened if need be. I could not be more pleased with the physical therapy from this establishment.

They are extremely flexible and able to adjust exercises as you heal. I have been very impressed with every aspect of their care. I strongly recommend you consider Bio Motion if you have Physical Therapy in your future. Sincerely - Tony I - satisfied customer.

I have known Derrick for over 20 years and can honestly say that he is an honorable Christian man whose knowledge of the body certainly surpasses what I thought I knew about the way each muscle works. So with that being said, every time I need physical therapy I automatically go to him. Derrick has sat down with me and discussed his treatment plan and what would be beneficial to my recovery. He is so knowledgeable with the anatomy of the body which he sits me down to explain. I feel very safe in knowing he has my best interest at heart. With that being said, I would like to acknowledge his staff who i love and respect their knowledge as well as showing me the right way to do the exercises that have been laid out for me. I would like to acknowledge Paloma whose kind personality shines every time you walk through the door. I can't say enough good things about his staff. Thank you Avery for being such a drill sergeant and pure delight on Fridays. You make it fun !! Thank you Derrick and everyone at Bio motion for assisting me in my recovery. God Bless you all Lucretia Adams
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! We have been honored to work with your entire family! Be blessed young lady and we’re here if you need us!
Genesis M.
I came to BioMotion Physical Therapy for treatment on my right shoulder after being rear-ended in a car accident. From the very beginning, they got me in quickly and took such great care of me. When I first arrived, my pain level was at a 9 and by the end of my therapy sessions, it was down to a 1. The entire team was incredibly helpful, professional, and kind. I truly felt seen, cared for, and important every step of the way. I highly recommend BioMotion to anyone in need of physical therapy, you won’t be disappointed with their service and compassionate care!
Response from the owner:Thank you!!! So happy you returned to 100%. We are here if you need anything.

I have been to BioMotion 3 separate times now and would highly recommend this facility for any physical therapy you would need. I came to them 4 years ago for knee replacement therapy, last year for hip and knee pain, and now for my other knee replacement. The facility is an upbeat place, clean at all times and has christian music playing in the background to greet you. The staff is always so kind and cheerful and is very helpful when you need them. The Physical Therapist are knowledgable and very encouraging. Honestly, I look forward to going 3 days a week and watching my progress. I will always use BioMotion in the future when I need Physical Therapy.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much!!! Your the best Mrs. Imondi! We are so glad your doing so good. Keep up the great work. Blessings your way.

I can't say enough great things about Derek and his staff over at BioMotion. He and his fantastic staff, to include Amy, Kylie, Shawna and Taylor are all very sweet and helpful, and together, got me on a regimen of exercises that keep my cervical disks from bulging, as well as keep me pain free. As I told them on my final appointment ... for 30 years following a car accident, a simple rain shower would start hurting me a week in advance, and keep me in pain for a week after. We just went through Hurricane Harvey and I haven't had an ounce of physical pain before, during or after. That, in itself, is truly a miracle. Thank you, Derek, and please extend all my thanks to your terrific staff.
John B.
I'm two visits away from completing a 16-visit physical therapy referral at BioMotion. The courtesy displayed by the staff, and the results I've experienced with the practitioners, have been especially remarkable. Dr. Derek and his team are smart, sharp, results-focused, and professional. I'm so glad I did not put off treatment. I'm so glad I found these superstars. A+.

I am a two sport athlete at Westlake high school in Austin, Texas. We are the defending state champs in Texas 6A football and we’re ranked 11th nationally in baseball. I was the starting short stop of the baseball team and couldn’t have gotten to where I was without the help of Biomotion, and doctor Sanchez. I had been dealing with back pain for a couple of months and went to many different physical therapy places and none could get me back to where I am now, except Biomotion. Excellent service and most down to earth people who really want to help you.
Debbie M.
I had been in excruciating pain for over a month. I went to the ER and later to my private doctor only to be treated with pain meds, which did nothing for the cause of the pain. My doctor finally referred me for physical therapy. I went to BioMotion and was seen by Dr. Derek Sanchez. I knew I was in great hands almost immediately! He is so knowledgeable and took a lot of time giving me a thorough assessment. After the first treatment I was already feeling some relief. Lol... I literally called him a "miracle worker"! His staff is excellent and extremely friendly and patient. After just a few weeks of treatment I am feeling great! I wish I would have gone sooner! Life is too short to be in pain. I highly recommend BioMotion and will be telling all my friends in and around Schertz to go there. They are the best!-Debbie M.

Excellence from Start to Finish!! I have been to 2 other near by clinics and they pail in comparison to Biomotion physical therapy. From the first evaluation to the last treatment, I was treated by a team of professionals led by a gem of a human being, Dr. Derek Sanchez! After 25 years of back pain I finally found someone who gets it right! Thank you Biomotion!!!
Tilly C.
I recently discussed my cervical neck issues that were causing arm impingement with Dr Sanchez to decide my best place for treatment. He listened carefully, answered all my questions and reminded me of their clinic’s approach. This would be my third time coming back for his help in healing. He didn’t pressure me but told me he was there for me and I could seek other treatment as well. His warm, genuine concern has caused me to come back again. I received a lot of care from Dr. Jordan. He is very skilled and compassionate. I highly recommend him. The music is always a blessing. My husband told me when I was leaving, I was humming. The songs were still playing in my head:)

Derek and his staff helped me make a full recovery after lumpectomy/breast surgery . I knew I’d be sore from the cuts to remove cancer and nodes. I didn’t know I’d have to recover range of motion n strength in my arm. I spoke w my surgeon and he said some PT would help. It sure did! In a few weeks, I was back to normal. That was a scary time for me. Derek, you and your staff were knowledgeable , kind , and encouraging. Such a blessing! Thank you Derek and all your staff that helped me get back my range of motion and feel strong again.

If you want the best physical therapy look no further. From the initial stop at the front desk you're treated with kindness and respect. The Therapist listens and gives you advice and details of your treatment plan making sure you are comfortable with it. To the assistant therapists who works making sure you are doing everything correctly as well as making sure you are comfortable throughout your sessions are kind and helpful treating everyone with dignity and respect they are a great team. I wouldn't hesitate to come back if needed to I would request bio motion
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words Mr. Franklin! We stand ready to assist you anytime you need us. God bless sir.
Marc L.
I have been here for two injuries-my shoulder and my back. Derek and his staff always took time to not rush my therapy and to explain and show me how and why we were doing one exercise or another. I could feel they cared more about helping me than pushing me down the pipeline. if you hurt yourself and need help I can’t think of a better place to find it.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the awesome review!

PLZ READ RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a headache and we have tried everything but then my father suggested this place. For short this was my best experience ever. For starters I was real nervous but they made me feel at home. One of the doctors Mr. Derek( I think that’s his name) fixed my headache in just one pop and it didn’t even hurt! I was pain free the rest of my life. It was truly amazing and a great experience I recommend this place BYE!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you! We were happy to help!

My daughter was injured during birth, and has been in either PT or OT her whole life. We moved to Texas 8 years ago and it took us some time to find someone that could grow with us, or my daughter I should say. Over the past 4/5 years my daughter has been treated by Dr. Sanchez and his team. He's knowledgeable, professional, and understands the importance of patient care! I highly recommended that you give this place a try for your PT needs.
Paul C.
I had an issue with my right arm in which I was having severe pain when rotating the arm. After consulting with my General Practitioner and being refered for x-rays, I was sent to a Nerve specialist for testing. It was found that I had a pinched nerve in my neck that was radiating pain down my neck, shoulder and into my right hand. My wife had been treated at BioMotion before and with this being one of the closest PT locations to our residence, I made an appointment. I was evaluated by Dr. Sanchez and started therapy the same day. Due to my work schedule I was treated by Susan and Lauren through most of my therapy. All of the staff were friendly, compassionate, and helpful. With my twice a week appointments and the exercises I was given to do at home, I very quickly started to notice a lessening of the pain in my arm, and was able to grip, hold and pick up things like normal. I would highly recommend friends, family and anyone else looking for a PT clinic with staff that cares about their patients and that are willing to work with most any schedule. If the need ever arises I will be returning to BioMotion in the future.

I'm a USArmy Wounded Warrior from Iraq 2010, I have been going to biomotion Physical Therapy and the progress has been amazing. At first the exercises didn't feel like I was making any progress but when it was time for my evaluation I had tears of joy. I tend to mess up my form when doing exercises and the staff is quick to correct me. If I could give 10 Stars I would, they are all great. If you need Physical Therapy give Biomotion a chance to get your like back on track. My progress has made a beautiful impact on my ability to play with my children and increased family activities. A+ 100%
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. We were more than honored to assist you. God bless
Christopher C.
The physical therapist here are by far the best in the business. Experts that you can trust, fantastic staff and elite facilities. I had many options for my son's physical therapy living close to the medical center but I am so glad I chose Biomotion! They truly care about their patients and when you couple that with their vast knowledge... it's a winning combination.
Response from the owner:Thank you Mr. Casarez for trusting us with your son. We treat him as our own! God bless you.
Brenda K.
My first experience with Derek Sanchez as my physical therapist was in 2009. During my therapy (which helped) I told him about my daughter who was recovering from a bad car wreck which resulted in a spinal fusion and a 6 week stay in the hospital. She was a few months down the road from that but still struggling. He really thought he could help so I arranged for her to have therapy at Biomotion. Derek saw her and helped her improve to the point that she could endure the rigors of nursing school. She did great and graduated at the top of her class. She is still doing great and has three active sons. I have also seen other therapists at Biomotion over the years with positive results. I just finished treatment with Dr Sanchez for an arthritic hip. My hip pain was keeping me up at night and prevented me from doing things I wanted to do. When I came in I basically said, I’m here so my PCM can check the box to send me to orthopedics so I can have a hip replacement. He said his job was to get me better so I didn’t need surgery. Well, he did, I’m doing very well and surgery is not in the foreseeable future. I give BIomotion my highest recommendation.
Response from the owner:Oh thank you so much! What a blessing of a review. Your the best. Hope to see you again but next time somewhere besides the clinic. I want you to stay healthy! Here if you need us. -Derek

I have been going for two weeks so far and I love it. Since you get walk through the front door the treatment is awsome, polite, friendly and professional. I was scared at first but they make me feel so comfortable that the day's I go there, are my relaxing days. The facilities are clean and organized. They are always concerns about my wellbeing, and not simply passing by another day at work. Highly recommend!!!!!!! 😊💪👍
Monica S.
This clinic is very professional and has the best therapists. I went in with a lot of back pain and finished with next to none. The Therapists are very knowledgeable and make sure you are taken good care of. From the front office to the techs, there is always someone willing to help you with what you need. I highly recommend this clinic! Thank you all for helping my recovery be a great experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the awesome review!
Timothy S.
This is a Christian based clinic built on integrity and professionalism. They focus on biomechanics of the body to ensure the underlying problem is fixed as opposed to just the symptoms. Derek, Susan and Lauren are extremely knowledgeable PTs (PhD). They are extremely caring and totally focused on patient improvement. The PT assistants are very friendly and responsive in every phase of treatment - they are true pros! This clinic is spotlessly clean (every item is cleaned after use) and well equipped. I have been to several clinics and this is best ever - this is my permanent home for physical therapy in the future. I give this clinic and staff my very highest recommendation!
Lucretia A.
I/11/2020 I have had the pleasure of knowing Derek and his employees since I started going to him for physical therapy many years ago when he first started over on Schertz Parkway and have followed him since then. Derek and his staff have shown nothing but professionalism, understanding of my pain and kindness through out my process of healing. Derek is known through the medical community for his knowledge and his dedication to his patients. As for myself, I will always continue to follow him because of his passion for helping people. Thank you Derek and your staff for always helping those in pain.

My daughter just got done doing physical therapy with Gene to fix her bad habit of toe walking. Gene was amazing to her. Patient, kind, and caring. Not to mention he knows what he is doing. Very professional and knowledgeable. He told me on the first day him and my daughter were going to be best friends (we went every Tuesday) and he was telling the truth. My daughter was excited every week to go see Gene. He gained her trust and it showed. Thank you Gene 💯❤
