Everything you need to know about assessment, treatment and medical management in Functional Neurologic Disorders (FND).
This course is a person centered theory and practice for increasing your confidence and optimizing your outcomes for people with functional neurologic disorders.
Functional movement disorders, functional weakness, CRPS--what do these disorders have in common? All are examples of disorders where neuroplasticity has gone awry. The therapist guides a journey to undo the negative neuroplasticity that has taken place and cultivate CNS connectivity.
