Physiotherapy for POTS
(Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition affecting the autonomic nervous system and can cause dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, brain fog, and reduced tolerance to standing or exercise. Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing POTS by using carefully graded, symptom-guided exercise to improve circulation, strength, and tolerance to upright activity. With a structured and individualised approach, physiotherapy can help reduce symptoms, improve daily function, and support a safe return to work, exercise, and everyday life.
Our POTS Physiotherapy Approach:
All programs are individually tailored based on symptoms, capacity, and goals.
Treatment may include:
-
Recumbent or seated exercise programs
-
Lower limb and core strengthening
-
Gradual cardiovascular conditioning
-
Postural tolerance and functional training
-
Education on pacing, symptom management, and home exercise
Exercise progression is slow, controlled, and guided to minimise symptom flare-ups.
