Is Deconditioning Causing Your POTS?

When you’re stuck in bed and losing muscle, it’s easy to be told, “You’re just deconditioned. If you got up and moved more, your POTS or orthostatic issues would improve.”

In this video, Dr. Keiser unpacks a better way to think about that. He explains how to tell whether deconditioning is the original cause of your orthostatic symptoms—or a consequence of an underlying problem like cerebral hypoperfusion that forced you to stop moving in the first place. He also talks about why, either way, rebuilding conditioning is still necessary once the root drivers are addressed.

In the second half, he answers a follow-up question about gaze-stability exercises and neck rehab. He breaks down what gaze stabilization is actually meant to do, common ways it’s done incorrectly, and how to sequence eye, vestibular, and neck work so you’re rebuilding the right reflexes instead of reinforcing faulty ones.

If you’ve been told “you’re just deconditioned” or you’ve struggled with vestibular rehab that keeps making you worse, this one’s for you.
