THE RESEARCH
Dr. Kyprianou and The Research
Dr. Mary Kyprianou, the founder of The POTS Treatment Center, has over 25 years of experience helping those suffering with autonomic nervous system disorders from all over the world. She eventually focused her practice on POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), an extreme and debilitating autonomic disorder in which most or all of the autonomic disorder symptoms are present at the same time.
Dr. Kyprianou was the recipient of a Fellowship Award during her Doctoral Studies at Wayne State University and was involved in extensive research under the prestigious Nobel Prize Nominee, Dr. Lida Mattman, in Immunopathology and Pathogenic Bacteriology. Having been a lecturer and Distinguished Professor Award recipient in anatomy and physiology, she has also enjoyed being a speaker at numerous seminars and organizational meetings on autonomic nervous system disorders.
Dr. Kyprianou is a Psychophysiologist, Board Certified in Biofeedback and a senior fellow of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. After more than two decades of experience helping those struggling with autonomic disorders, Dr. Kyprianou was able to design a comprehensive program for autonomic balance, where each component of the program is based on peer-reviewed case studies. Below you will find some of the research-based findings:
