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.

​
