CONDITION
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
Looking for treatment for Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)? Vim Health offers physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language and technology-assisted rehab tailored to FND.
What is Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)?
Functional neurological disorder (FND) can present in a number of different ways for example weakness, sensory loss, tremors, non-epileptic seizures, changes to speech, walking difficulties or fatigue. It is an issue with how the brain functions (software issue) rather than due to structural damage to the brain such as in a stroke (Hardware issue). These symptoms can fluctuate but are treatable.
Treatment for FND
While there is no one-size-fits-all cure for FND, research supports a rehabilitation-based approach, focusing on retraining the brain and body connection. It is important to fully understand your diagnosis of FND and have had this explained to you by a neurologist to get the most out of your FND rehabilitation.
Physiotherapy for FND
Our neuro-specialist physiotherapists work with you to understand how symptoms manifest and use specific techniques to help retrain movement and rebuild confidence. At Vim Health, we prioritise education and collaboration to help you understand your condition and take an active role in your recovery. We specialise in treating people with motor difficulties associated with FND such as weakness, walking difficulties or sensory disturbance. This is often in conjunction with an occupational therapist:
Technology-Assisted Rehabilitation
We incorporate cutting-edge equipment to support motor re-learning, balance, and coordination:
-
Gait training with LiteGait® and treadmill
-
Balance and proprioception devices
This tech-supported rehab is particularly effective for patients with fluctuating or movement-based FND symptoms.
Living with FND can be overwhelming, but you’re not alone. At Vim Health, we provide a safe, supportive space where you can better understand your condition and regain confidence in movement.
