Rehabilitation for FND focuses on retraining the nervous system and restoring functional abilities. Therapy is tailored to each person’s unique challenges, addressing physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects. Through structured, goal-oriented programs, patients learn strategies to improve movement, balance, and daily functioning while reducing the impact of symptoms.
How We Help
What challenges can FND cause?
FND can lead to tremors, weakness, abnormal gait, difficulty with coordination, and sensory changes. Symptoms may fluctuate and affect the ability to perform everyday activities, often causing frustration and reduced confidence.
How does rehabilitation help with FND?
Therapy focuses on retraining movement patterns, improving coordination and balance, and restoring confidence in functional abilities. Rehabilitation helps the nervous system “relearn” normal movement and function through repetitive, targeted exercises and practical strategies.
What does a typical therapy program involve?
Programs are guided by assessments of strength, balance, coordination, and daily function. Therapy may include movement retraining, walking and balance exercises, functional task practice, and education on symptom management strategies.
How does therapy support independence and confidence?
By practising functional skills and learning coping strategies, therapy helps individuals perform daily tasks more safely and efficiently. Education and support for families also ensure better understanding and smoother participation in home, work, and community life.
