In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Exercise Physiologist Jennifer Smallridge from Connection Medicine Co. Get ready for an in-depth conversation as we delve into the world of "invisible illness" and why it is crucial to raise awareness around the struggles people have living with these often misunderstood conditions.
Today we will be talking predominately about POTS and will hopefully get Jen back soon to cover other invisible illnesses such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and hEDS.
We cover:
- The concept of "invisible illness"
- What is POTS/OI?
- What is the evidence for exercise in the case of POTS?
- What are the main considerations for assessment and exercise prescription?
- How can healthcare professionals and society as a whole better support and validate individuals with CF/POTS?
