If you have been diagnosed with functional neurological disorder then Neurological Physiotherapy is important to help you to facilitate automatic movement patterns. Our physiotherapists understand how vulnerable the nervous system can be and that this vulnerability sometimes creates very abnormal movement patterns. We use a variety of treatment ideas and therapy plans that are designed to meet your individual needs.
· Postural re-education and movement re-education
· Functional electrical stimulation
· Functional movement training – looking at where your vulnerabilities are and adapting functional training to allow you more freedom of movement
· Gait and balance training using the Tyromotion devices – TYMO and PABLO where balance boards and sensors are used to re-train movement in a fun engaging way.
· Aquatic Therapy / Hydrotherapy
· AlterG anti-gravity treadmill training
Friedreich’s ataxia causes nervous system damage and movement problems. It usually begins in childhood and leads to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time.

There are several treatments available for Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) that focus on improving movement and reducing symptoms. These include functional electrical stimulation, gait and balance training using Tyromotion devices, aquatic therapy (hydrotherapy), and the AlterG anti-gravity treadmill. Each treatment is personalised to meet the individual’s needs, helping them to regain function and freedom of movement. Treatment plans are designed to reduce vulnerabilities in the nervous system, promoting recovery.
Physiotherapy is a crucial part of managing Functional Neurological Disorder. It helps patients regain control of their automatic movement patterns through tailored exercises and therapies. Treatments include postural re-education, functional movement training, gait and balance training with specialised equipment like the Tyromotion devices, and hydrotherapy. These interventions aim to reduce symptoms, improve mobility, and enhance overall function, helping patients lead a more independent life.
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a condition where the nervous system doesn't function properly despite no obvious structural damage. It can lead to symptoms like abnormal movements, weakness, seizures, and sensory disturbances. These symptoms can mimic neurological conditions such as Parkinson's or epilepsy, but without clear underlying physical causes. Physiotherapy, including movement re-education and functional electrical stimulation, is often used to help patients manage and improve their condition.
