Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and POTS

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and POTS

GI symptoms, pain clues, and why a consult matters

In this episode of Let’s Talk About the POTS Life, we break down the connection between POTS and pelvic floor dysfunction and why it’s often overlooked.

We cover common “beige flags” like GI issues (IBS, bloating, constipation/diarrhea cycles, gastroparesis), bladder symptoms (chronic UTIs, straining to pee), and unexplained pelvic or low back pain. We also touch on tension patterns (like teeth grinding) and conditions like endometriosis and hypermobility.

This episode highlights how pelvic floor therapy can fit into a bigger picture approach alongside POTS care, GI support, and mental health.

If you feel like your symptoms aren’t fully adding up, this might be a missing piece.
