Supervised Exercise Therapy for Peripheral Artery Disease (SET for PAD)
Supervised exercise therapy is for those with peripheral artery disease with pain in the arms or legs during activity (claudication). The program is a risk factor modification and exercise program to help improve symptoms of claudication (pain, tightness, fatigue in one or more limbs).
The goal of therapy is to extend the time you can be active without claudication. Although not a cure, this therapy can help you reach your maximum level of activity with pain or fatigue and possibly prevent the need for surgery.
Talk with your healthcare provider to see if Supervised Exercise Therapy is right for you. Most insurance companies will cover all or part of this service.
