Strength training might sound intimidating when you live with POTS or dysautonomia — but the right approach can transform your stability, circulation, and confidence.
In this week’s clinical episode of The Dizzy Diaries, we break down exactly how to build strength safely, sustainably, and without triggering symptom flares.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why strength training supports blood flow, venous return, and autonomic regulation
• How stronger muscles reduce pooling and improve everyday function
• How to find your starting point (even if it feels like zero)
• Chair-based, floor-based, and standing progressions
• Simple ways to structure strength sessions around your symptoms
• Why slow, consistent progression beats intensity every time
This episode is perfect if you’re rebuilding after a flare, feeling unsure where to begin, or wanting to feel more grounded and capable in daily life.
Grab a comfy seat, take a deep breath — and let’s get stronger, safely and sparkly. ✨
