Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a neurological condition that affects how the brain controls movement, sensation, and function within the body.
For many people, receiving an FND diagnosis can feel confusing and at times frustrating. Support and specialist rehabilitation can sometimes be difficult to access, and many individuals tell us they have struggled to find professionals who truly understand the condition.
At Burscough Neuro Physiotherapy, supporting people with FND is one of our specialist areas. Our experienced team of neurological physiotherapists works closely with each person to understand how symptoms are affecting their daily life.
Through tailored rehabilitation, we focus on retraining movement, improving physical control, and rebuilding confidence in the body.
How Neuro Physiotherapy Can Help with FND
We know that no two people experience FND in the same way. That’s why our approach is tailored to your symptoms, goals and lifestyle. Many patients and families have concerns about the changes they are experiencing, and specialist rehabilitation can play an important role in helping manage symptoms day to day.

What if my FND symptoms fluctuate from day to day?

Can physiotherapy help if my FND symptoms have been present for a long time?

Do you offer home visits for FND physiotherapy?
Yes, we do offer home visits for people with FND. Seeing you in your own environment can be particularly helpful when symptoms are affecting walking, transfers, stairs or confidence leaving the house.
