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.

Benefits of Physiotherapy for POTS​​

with consistent physiotherapy, many people experience:

  • Reduced symptom severity

  • Improved activity and exercise tolerance

  • Increased strength and confidence

  • Better quality of life

Physiotherapy is one of the most effective non-medication approaches for managing POTS.
