Compression Garments for POTS & Long COVID – With Dr Binita Kane & Adam Withey (Juzo UK)

THIRTY TWO: Compression Garments for Long COVID and POTS YouTube Premiere: Wednesday 4th June 2025 | 18:00 BST Featuring: Dr Binita Kane – Consultant Respiratory Physician Adam Withey – Director, Juzo UK If you’re living with Long COVID or POTS and struggling with symptoms like dizziness, fatigue or poor circulation, compression garments might be part of your recovery toolkit, but knowing where to start can be confusing. In this clear and practical session, Dr Binita Kane is joined by Adam Withey of Juzo UK to unpack exactly how medical-grade compression can support people with post-viral conditions and autonomic dysfunction. Together, they explore: – Why compression garments are recommended for people with POTS and orthostatic intolerance – What to ask your GP for, including class, fit, and style (e.g. Class 2, above-knee, closed toe) – How prescription garments differ from over-the-counter options – Getting the right size and fit – and why it matters – Navigating barriers like cost, access, and awareness within the NHS This video is designed to empower you with accurate, actionable information, helping you make informed choices, have better conversations with healthcare providers, and feel more confident managing your symptoms. Supporting Information: Compression can help with symptoms of POTS. It’s worth discussing a prescription with your GP. Above-knee garments are generally better than below-knee but can be less practical. The Long COVID Clinic has partnered with Juzo to provide medical-grade stockings. Juzo offers the widest selection of compression garments in the UK, including the largest range available on NHS prescription. You can also purchase them privately if preferred.
