POTS & Tachycardia: A Fascial Perspective

We’ve been getting more and more messages from people navigating symptoms like POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and general tachycardia. So let’s break this down Human Garage style—real talk, fascia-first.

The Body as a Pressurized System

We don’t see the heart as a mechanical pump. Instead, we see it as a valve inside a larger pressurized system, with fascia playing the key role in regulating that pressure.

When the fascia is dehydrated or compressed—especially around the chest, ribs, shoulders, and neck—the heart is forced to compensate, leading to dysfunctions like fast heart rate and circulatory dysregulation.

How We Support the System

We’ve seen people experience noticeable symptom relief in as little as 7 to 21 days using a combination of hydration, minerals, and movement:

1. Hydrate Properly
Dehydration isn’t just about drinking water—it’s about helping the body absorb and use it at the cellular level.
👉 HG Hydration Protocol

2. Release Upper Body Compression
This routine decompresses the fascia around the heart, lungs, and ribs—areas often locked up from stress and shallow breathing.
👉 Upper Body Reset

3. Move with the Barefoot Sprinter Routine (Daily)
Your feet are part of your circulatory pump. Grounding and walking barefoot reactivates the fascia in your calves, restoring upward flow.

4. Alternate Lower & Upper Resets
Work with both resets on alternating days to keep all three fascial zones in balance.

5. Walk Daily
Walking helps your body integrate the fascial changes and recalibrate pressure throughout the system.

Nicotine & Heart Regulation

If you're currently using nicotine, it might be tightening the fascia and contributing to irregular heart rhythms. Here's a quick breakdown of what we’ve seen:

Spinning Heart Flow

Want to understand the spiraling structure of the heart and blood flow? Dr. Gil Hedley beautifully explains the spiral valve concept that aligns with our fascia-based model of the body:
