How is Occupational Therapy different from Physical Therapy? Occupational therapists strive to empower individuals to get back to doing the things they want or need to do in daily life. Occupations are anything that occupies your time, such as working, sleeping, cooking, driving, showering, and more. OTs assess and address physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and overall wellbeing. Physical therapists primarily address musculoskeletal and neurological conditions from gross-motor and balance standpoints.
What is Occupational Therapy for POTS? There are so many aspects of occupational therapy that assist individuals with POTS – too many to include here. In general, we see common areas of sleep management, fatigue and energy management, pain management, brain fog and cognitive function, lifestyle integration and navigating management strategies of POTS to maximize function and quality of life. We teach about energy management, sleep strategies, modifications and ways to adapt your environment and the way that you complete activities, breathing techniques, overall non-pharmacologic management strategies for POTS, autonomic regulation, and more.
