SALT for POTS

I’ve been struggling with my POTS symptoms for several years now. A few years ago, I started exercising on my own and felt so much better. However, I ended up crashing and every time I have tried to return to exercise since I have crashed. Until now! This program has helped me slow myself down to a pace that so far has kept me from crashing. If a week felt really hard even if I can pass the test, I will redo it until it feels a little easier. The video examples of the exercises are helpful and I feel like $60 a year is a very reasonable price for what you get. I also enjoy that they have added mindfulness and journal prompts into the app as well. I would encourage anyone with POTS to at least give this a shot and see if it can help you get some of your life back! I definitely have more energy and am able to do so much more since starting this program.

I’ve had POTS for a while and was just given a paper version of this app. I was actually seeing if this had been done yet so I could potentially take it on and came across SALT. It’s got such good bones, there is such a need. But the pricing, content quality, and lacking detail for microconditioning for cardio within target heart rate zones are all a bummer. The actual programs given by doctors already exist for anyone coming across this app - you’d be better served and not would probably be safer to have your cardiologist provide this to you. I really wanted this app to be part of my training program - please keep up the already solid work on this for the community. It could make such a difference if executed well, safely, and affordably.

I am a Pulmonary and Critical Care physician with over 20 years of experience and am always looking for ways to help our patients. Chronic illnesses can be devastating especially when there are no clear cures so finding ways to empower our patients, give them goals and a program that can improve quality of life is imperative. Medical therapy is much more than prescribed drugs as nutrition, fitness, mental health are all key elements in overall health and perhaps more important with chronic disease. This program is the first I have seen that truly aims to help those with POTS and EDS in a whole body manner. Medical oversight is needed to ensure a safe start but this program gives control back to the patient. This program empowers mental and physical health with the challenges that come with POTS. If you struggle with these conditions I highly recommend you take a look at the program.
