What is FND?
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a condition that affects the functioning of the nervous system. It is characterized by a range of neurological symptoms that cannot be explained by any known neurological disease or structural abnormality.
FND occurs when there is a disturbance in the communication between the brain and the body, leading to a wide variety of symptoms. These symptoms can include weakness or paralysis, tremors, sensory problems, such as numbness or tingling, as well as problems with coordination, balance, and walking.
How we can help
Treatment for FND focuses on improving the client’s quality of life and managing their symptoms. The rehabilitation process may include various techniques, such as therapeutic exercises, gait retraining, balance training, and functional training. Seeking professional help from a physiotherapist experienced in treating FND is crucial in achieving the best possible outcomes for individuals with this condition.

What They Say
I have been the fortunate recipient of expert and professional physiotherapy from Ali and Katy following a stroke. They are professional and compassionate, very expert and great fun; their expertise and appointments have been both necessary and a delight. I would recommend this firm very highly and without reserve, and their staff are deserving of the highest praise.
Kenneth Walker
I’ve been working with Kenny for around five years, initially for surgical rehabilitation and then for ongoing mild cerebral palsy. He has been so encouraging and supportive throughout. He regularly changes my programme to keep me motivated and always pushes me to be my physical and functional best. I’ve seen huge changes since we started working together!
Kathleen McNish
Bob was in a very poor condition when Catriona came to see us, and he is making very good progress. Catriona is always positive and in just a few weeks has made a big difference in Bob’s life, and we can’t thank her enough for all her help.
Christine Chrystal
This company has helped me regain much more of my balance and core strength lost in the first lockdown. Through weekly visits, with plenty of exercises to do daily in between, I have come a long way to regaining core strength and balance. Thank you to a wonderful specialist physiotherapist that makes each visit to give me more confidence.
Bernadette Hendry
Tracey is always pleasant, considerate, and obviously a dedicated first-class therapist. She has done a great deal for my wife’s condition (disability and tremor following a stroke), not least for her morale. She gives great encouragement. Her visits have become friendly occasions for my wife, who frequently asks when Tracey is coming back.
Tom Brown
