Stand Up to POTS.
Feel Like Yourself Again.
Exercise-based rehab for POTS, orthostatic hypotension and other forms of orthostatic intolerance, with a clear plan of action from your very first visit.
Start Where You Are
Heart-rate guided exercise that begins lying down and builds you back up.
One Team in Your Corner
Exercise therapy, physiotherapy, nutrition and psychotherapy, all working on one plan.
UNDERSTANDING ORTHOSTATIC INTOLERANCE
When Standing Up Is the Hardest Part of Your Day
In orthostatic intolerance, the nervous system struggles to regulate heart rate and blood pressure when you stand. In POTS your heart races; in orthostatic hypotension your blood pressure drops. Either way you can feel dizzy, drained or foggy.
POTS most often affects people aged 14 to 45, while orthostatic hypotension is more common in older adults. Both are real, treatable, and you don't have to figure them out alone.

OUR APPROACH
Start Lying Down. Finish Standing Tall.
Upright exercise can trigger symptoms early on, so we start where your body is comfortable and progress as your heart and circulation adapt.
Every patient follows the same proven five-phase plan, from the recumbent bike to real life, paced by your symptoms and heart-rate data. Most patients complete it in about 6 to 7 months.
