​
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is an umbrella term describing a neurologic condition in which the primary pathophysiological processes are alterations in functioning of brain networks rather than abnormalities of brain structures. (Hallet, 2022)

Based on the scientific literature, we create an individualized and integrated physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, and yoga therapy treatment program for returning to a full life with a functional neurological disorder.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What is different about this program?
Our philosophy of treatment is to understand you as a whole person, including body and brain connections, your environmental influences, and underlying musculoskeletal issues. We focus on restoring your autonomy and independent control so that you are empowered with the tools and resources for self-treatment.
We work together as a transdisciplinary team of physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychology and wellness professionals to understand your needs and put together a comprehensive and holistic program. We work very closely with your physicians and other providers (outside psychologists for example) as needed.
I'm a family member of someone with FND, is my family member a good fit for this program?
People who typically do best in our programs are those interested in an integrated holistic approach, who are motivated to learn new skills and who believe their FND diagnosis. Typically for those under the age of 18, having full family support and school support is also extremely helpful to support re-integration back into school & home environments.
I've been to a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), how is your psychology team approach different?
