Discovering the Path to P.O.T.S. ManagementAPTA Colorado SE District Sponsored Event When: Wednesday, April 12, 2023 | 6:30pm - 9:00pm MT Where: Pikes Peak State College OR Virtual via Zoom Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a common form of Dysautonomia, impacts up to three million Americans, who often remain untreated and face functional disability. Due to comorbidities, persons with P.O.T.S. arrive in the physical therapy clinic for many reasons, and therapists may encounter significant difficulty addressing the primary diagnosis without an understanding and treatment plan supporting and facilitating management of this syndrome. During this session we will define the potential origins, diagnostic parameters, and more frequent symptoms experienced by those with P.O.T.S. With a better understanding of the condition, we will then explore treatment and management options for the many patients searching for guidance. CEU: 1.5 Credit Hours About the Presenter: Since graduation from PT school, Dr. Brown has specialized in many areas of pediatric and young adult care from the NICU to college athletics and the arts, with a bit of adult care thrown in the mix. Currently, she treats patients in a hospital-affiliated outpatient clinic covering general orthopedics, dysautonomia, rheumatology, chronic pain, and cystic fibrosis. She is also contracted by two local ballet studios; sees clients in the private domain by personal referral, focusing on injury risk reduction, self-care, technique enhancement, educational workshops, and Yamuna Body Rolling classes; and is contracted by an international agency providing physical therapists for touring performing artists. Her primary areas of special interest include performing arts medicine and adolescent / young adult integrative care. One of Dr. Brown’s loves is teaching and she is privileged to teach both basic science and physical therapy related topics in classrooms, seminars, and one-on-one sessions. Outside the clinic, Allison has lived in Colorado Springs with her husband and children since 2008 and home educated their children all the way through school with a daughter now training at a nationally ranked ballet conservatory while earning a degree and a son pitching his way through a senior year in high school before entering a university aeronautics program. Away from home, she has taught health and science classes to many other home educated students and is determined to turn every inch of their suburban hill of sand into a productive homestead!
