Functional Neurological Disorder: Breaking the ‘cycle’ in FND: insight into our approach to taking back control One of the most common Functional Neurological Disorder symptoms we work is uncontrollable movements, which can present in many different ways including tremors, convulsions, spasms, tics. Our approach involves understanding patterns that present in these movements, then teaching clients how to change these patterns.

Wheelchair to walking in 5 days (15hours) (Functional Neurological Disorder) Colin reached out to us after 4+ years of FND presenting in uncontrollable movements, seizures and convulsions left him primarily using a wheelchair. Within 5 days Colin makes incredible progress - from relying on the wheelchair, to walking indoors, even outside on a cold February day (previously the cold would trigger intense symptoms).

FND tremors have been one of the most persistent symptoms Jai experiences. Rob and Jai worked intensively to begin to understand the weakness, changes in gat and co-ordination and tremors, beginning with electrical stimulation aiming to improve the communication between her brain and body. They were then able to progress into the gym, which will become an important maintenance strategy — this helps them pinpoint a specific weakness which likely ties into the full picture of h

Functional Neurological Disorder and Freezing | One of the primary Functional Neurological Disorder challenges Lynn has faced with her is a freezing response, especially when under pressure. Laura starts by working through specific areas in Lynn’s body to understand responses and patterns associated to her FND.

Functional Neurological Disorder: regaining control over voluntary movements | It is vital for Ellies’ body not to respond in this way for her to walk. The brain receives a lot of information from the feet when they touch the ground, without this it’s hard for her to know where she is in space, where to place her feet, if she’s landing correctly etc. Luke and Ellie start to work on changing these patterns - at first seated, then when this is repeatable they can move to standi

Julia travelled from Spain to work with the APEX NEURO team after a lack of resolution for FND symptoms (dystonia, tremors, seizures and loss of motor function/muscle control) which started after hitting her head.

FND: Overcoming freezing (freezing of gait), start/stop hesitation and improving walking - learning to cross a doorway | Gait freezing and start/stop hesitation is common with FND - typically when anxiety peaks, or changing surface. Lynn found she frequently froze in doorways or when crossing a threshold.

Functional Neurological Disorder: learning to use the stairs Rachel has shared some of her FND journey including walking with a crutch to climbing rocks on the beach unaided with her children 🫶🏼 One of the most common things we work on after building improved walking ability is learning to safely and confidently use the stairs again. Notice all of this work is without any support from the electrical devices, this is all Rachel.

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) APEX NEURO real-world rehabilitation - “I cant remember the last time I walked to the shop” 3 days together and Luke and Caroline were able to progress not just to walking outside (taking on all the external stimulus such as the cold which previously caused Caroline to convulse) but to walk together to the shop which was a monumental achievement in just a few days work. We are doing this all without any devices, just through coaching.

Functional Neurological Disorder: drop attacks, tremors & dystonia | 5 day FND intensive working through a number of FND symptoms. Hannah and Luke work through breaking patterns than were causing drop attacks, dystonia (muscle contractions and involuntary movements) and tremors in her hands. Over 5 days they develop strategies for Hannah to implement at home, particularly to help her gain control over her hands, standing and walking unaided.

FND after a serious car accident initially left Sam with having multiple seizures each day, dystonia and violent shaking/tremors. An APEX NEURO client met Sam at a local neuro centre and pointed him in our direction and we were able to offer the specialised help he needed in understanding the patterns behind his FND symptoms.

Functional Neurological Disorder: Tremors and involuntary movements are some of the most common FND symptoms we work with - these vary greatly in their presentation from person to person and often require deep investigation to understand the mechanisms driving them. Regaining control over tremors can be key to regaining independent movement, often our clients find it difficult to impossible to walk as tremors can affect balance, gait and sometimes link to seizures.

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Maintaining Results One of the most common questions we get asked is “what happens when I go home?” Understanding triggers is key to developing appropriate strategies to maintain the results we achieve with FND. Building in maintenance strategies that don’t need our input, such as specific types of training and in some cases using a home e-stim device puts the power back into our clients hands. We don’t want anyone to rely on us!

APEX NEURO Reviews: reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company and express gratitude for the hope and belief the company instills, especially when other treatments have failed

APEX NEURO featured in news for life-changing FND therapy: APEX NEURO, a rehabilitation centre specialising in neurological conditions. Thanks to the generous donations, Angel had intensive therapy at the facility, and within days, she was walking again. APEX NEURO helped her to manage her symptoms by using electrical and laser therapy, and by the end of the third day, she was walking unaided.

Ellie came to us dependent on a wheelchair, experiencing multiple non epileptic seizures every day. Her FND severely impacted her ability to walk, but after some time together she was able to walk using a cane, and we began working on re-learning how to use stairs.

A huge thank you to Apex Neuro and to Laura for helping me learn to walk again, and for giving me hope at a time when I truly thought I’d lost it. Their dedication, deep understanding of FND, and genuine care have changed my life — and the lives of so many others living with neurological conditions. I am incredibly grateful to have found people who believe, support, and bring back the hope that so many professionals unintentionally take away. Thank you from the bottom of my h

We often find people are skeptical of our results for Functional Neurological Disorder as they seem to good to be true, especially as traditional conventions fall short for many people diagnosed with this condition.

"Last week I needed a rollator outside my house (on really good days I could manage short distances without it inside) or a wheelchair, this week I can leap about on a beach. My extreme fatigue has gone completely, as have bowel and bladder retention and digestive issues. I can now go walk on the beach in the sun with my friends, instead of living the shitty half life my neurologist left me to."
