Physiotherapy can be a valuable tool in managing Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) by addressing some of the underlying issues and improving symptoms. Here's how I can help:

​

• Improving Blood Pressure Regulation: I can prescribe exercises to help train your body to maintain normal Autonomic Nervous System regulation of heart rate and blood pressure, particularly when changing positions.

​

• Maintaining Physical Conditioning: POTS can lead to a fear of exercise due to worsening symptoms. I aim to help by designing a safe and gradual exercise program to improve overall fitness without triggering symptoms. This improved conditioning can help your body adapt to postural changes more effectively. It can also help ​you maintain muscle mass, which is essential for overall health and function. 

​

• Education and Breathing Techniques: Many factors affect the Autonomic Nervous System, and through targeted techniques I aim to help support the nervous system through specific breathing techniques to manage dizziness and lightheadedness associated with POTS. Postural education can also be provided as part of a comprehensive strategy for daily activities to minimise symptom flare-ups.

• POTS treatment sessions can be provided via Telehealth as well as in-person.
