Dysautonomia/postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

In addition to making dietary recommendations designed to improve gut health and brain function, our patients have also responded favorably to physical therapy in which we work on retraining the autonomic nervous system and improving blood flow. We may begin with gentle range-of-motion movements and exercises in a reclined or seated position, gradually increasing intensity as your ability allows.

It’s important to understand that Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is primarily caused by brain dysfunction—not heart dysfunction. Recognizing this distinction shifts the focus toward therapies that target the brain-body connection, which plays a critical role in regulating autonomic functions such as heart rate and blood pressure. POTS has multiple underlying causes and is often accompanied by comorbid conditions, making each case unique. At NeuroHealth, we help patients navigate the complex nature of POTS by identifying these contributing factors and developing personalized, comprehensive care plans.
