    Understanding FND

    A real condition that can improve.

    Functional neurological disorder is a problem with how the brain sends and receives signals, rather than structural damage. It can cause weakness, tremor, abnormal walking, spasms or seizures.

    Specialized physiotherapy that redirects attention and retrains automatic movement can help many people improve.

    Common symptoms

    Limb weakness, tremor, jerks, walking or balance difficulties and fatigue.

    How it works

    Symptoms are real and involuntary. Retraining focuses on how movement is controlled.

    Team support

    Physiotherapy alongside counselling often gives the best results.
