Physiotherapy for FND, helping you retrain movement and regain confidence, at home or at the clinic.

Functional neurological disorder questions
Is FND a real condition?
Yes. FND is a genuine condition and your symptoms are real. It is a problem with how the nervous system works rather than damage to it.
Do I need a diagnosis first?
Ideally, yes. FND is usually diagnosed by a neurologist. Get in touch if you are unsure and we can talk it through.
Can you see me at home?
Yes. I see people at home, in care homes and in nursing homes anywhere in Northamptonshire, as well as at the clinic.
