Living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) can be overwhelming, but self-care plays a powerful role in managing daily symptoms and improving quality of life. At The POTS Treatment Center, we believe that education, support, and individualized care are the cornerstones of long-term wellness. While medication may be one part of treatment, self-care strategies are essential tools every patient can use to regain a sense of control and stability.
Self-care for POTS includes a combination of lifestyle modifications such as increasing fluid and customized salt intake based on individual vitals, maintaining a structured exercise routine, sleep optimization and implementing body awareness techniques to minimize symptom flare-ups. At The POTS Treatment Center, we guide each patient through these changes step by step. Through our comprehensive treatment program, patients learn how to support their autonomic nervous system using evidence-based methods tailored to their specific triggers and needs.
We also incorporate biofeedback training, breathing exercises, and neuroplasticity strategies to help patients better regulate their heart rate, blood pressure, blood flow and adrenaline surges —especially during positional changes. These techniques empower individuals to listen to their bodies and respond with calm, confident action. Our team provides in-depth instruction on how to integrate these practices into everyday life, from morning routines to school or work responsibilities, helping reduce anxiety and fatigue.
Ultimately, self-care for POTS is not just about symptom management—it’s about building resilience. The POTS Treatment Center is committed to helping patients and their families develop a realistic and sustainable path forward. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been struggling for years, we’re here to provide the tools, support, and encouragement needed to live a healthier, more independent life with POTS.
