Description

This 15-hour course provides a comprehensive understanding of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) from a neurophysiological and rehabilitative perspective. Participants will explore the neurocardiorespiratory mechanisms affected in POTS, learn bedside and advanced autonomic testing techniques, and evaluate both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. Emphasis is placed on neurological rehabilitation strategies, including graded exercise, autonomic regulation techniques, and cognitive approaches. Real-life case discussions guide clinicians in crafting personalized care plans for complex POTS patients.

What you’ll learn:

  • Understand neurocardiorespiratory physiology and how it's altered in POTS.
  • Perform bedside and advanced neuro-autonomic testing techniques.
  • Evaluate conventional treatment strategies and their clinical implications.
  • Apply neurological rehabilitation tools to manage and improve POTS symptoms.
