POTS Treatment and Management

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system. POTS can often disrupt daily activities. Therefore, it can become challenging for individuals to manage their symptoms.

 

Let Trimotion Therapy explains how we help individuals manage their POTS symptoms, improve their quality of life, and regain control over their health.

 

Understanding POTS

POTS is a type of dysautonomia, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system. It is characterized by an abnormal increase in heart rate (tachycardia) when transitioning from lying down to standing up. This rapid heart rate is often accompanied by other symptoms, such as:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness when standing up or changing positions.
• Heart palpitations or a feeling of the heart racing.
• Fatigue that can be overwhelming and persistent.
• Nausea, bloating, and other gastrointestinal problems.
• Temperature regulation issues, such as feeling excessively hot or cold.
• Brain fog and difficulty concentrating.

The exact cause of POTS can vary from person to person. Furthermore, it is often linked to other conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, viral infections, or physical trauma.

 

In many cases, the condition can be triggered by an injury, surgery, or a prolonged period of bed rest. It can lead to deconditioning of the cardiovascular system.

How We Treat POTS

At Trimotion Therapy, we focus on addressing the underlying causes of the condition and improving the overall functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Our treatments are customized to meet the individual needs of each patient, with the goal of reducing symptoms and restoring balance to the body.

• Myofascial Release Therapy: Myofascial release therapy is vital in treating POTS by targeting tight muscles and fascia that restrict blood flow. It helps release tension in connective tissues, improves circulation, and aids blood pressure regulation for POTS patients.
• Movement Re-education: Our team focuses on teaching patients proper movement techniques to help reduce symptoms and improve circulation. Re-training the body to move more efficiently helps restore balance to the autonomic nervous system. This may include posture correction, breathing exercises, and strengthening the muscles that support blood circulation.
• Neuromuscular Training: For POTS patients, neuromuscular training improves muscle and nervous system coordination, reducing falls and dizziness. It also helps recondition the cardiovascular system. This makes it easier to stand and move without drastic heart rate changes.
• Therapeutic Massage: Therapeutic massage is beneficial for POTS patients because it helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Many patients with POTS experience chronic pain and stiffness in their muscles. Massage therapy can help alleviate these symptoms and improve overall mobility.
• Deep Oscillation Therapy: Deep oscillation therapy uses a low-energy, pulsed electrostatic field to promote tissue healing and improve circulation. It reduces swelling, muscle tension, and chronic fatigue, while stimulating cell regeneration. This aids in recovery from conditions like POTS. It’s also effective for enhancing circulation and detoxification.
