Allan Buccola, a PT in Burlington, North Carolina, reached out to us after the podcast aired on orthostatic hypotension (episode 123) to let us know he’s gone deep down the rabbit hole of orthostatic hypotension assessment and management. He’s scoured the research and helped teach his coworkers more about the topic, which is more complicated than it may seem! Allan discusses the interconnectedness of the autonomic nervous system components, what to notice beyond just dizziness if you’re concerned about hypotension, how to tell whether it’s neurogenic or not, and more. Allan works both in acute care and outpatient while Claire leads community classes for people with Parkinson’s making this conversation span the entire continuum of care.

Please reach out with any questions you may have on the topic or to let us know about a topic you’d like us to discuss more on the show! Email us at [email protected]
