Occupational Therapy for POTS
Introduction
If you’re seeking occupational therapy for POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), we want you to be as informed as possible so we can truly partner to create the best course of treatment for YOU.
In occupational therapy, we tend to work from “menus” of evidence-based assessments and treatments. This gives us the flexibility to meet the specific needs of each patient. Below, you’ll see the assessment and treatment options your therapist may use, along with the evidence that supports them.
Please note that this page is for educational purposes and should not substitute advice from your medical provider. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find therapists near you who can support you.
Why pursue occupational therapy for POTS?
Non-pharmacological interventions are the frontline approach for treating POTS. Occupational therapy is cost-effective and safe. Through rehabilitation, patients often experience improvement in function and may be able to avoid starting medication or reduce their dosage over time.
Your multidisciplinary team may include a physician, occupational therapist, physical therapist, nurse, dietitian, and psychologist.
Occupational therapists specialize in providing holistic, personalized treatments that promote overall independence. We employ strategies to optimize function that consider physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We’re often called everyday problem-solvers, ready to process the challenges you may not have time for in your other appointments, and we may make you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
Related Assessments
Assessments are powerful tools to help us partner in your care. They establish a clear baseline, direct our treatment efforts, and give us a reliable way to track your progress over time. Your team may select some specific measures that fit your unique situation. Here are some examples:
Overall Health Measures
Symptom Specific Measures
Overall Health Measures1,2, Symptom Specific Measures2-4, Pediatrics5
Possible Goal Areas
Therapy only works best when there is buy-in from the patient. It’s essential to collaborate with your therapist to establish treatment goals that accurately reflect what is truly important to you.
Goal Bank for Clinicians
Each goal is intended as a starting point. The functional motivation behind each goal should identified collaboratively with the client.
