After a diagnosis of FND, Gen lost the ability to walk and lift (previously a competitive powerlifter), had seizures, tics, lost hand function and numerous other symptoms.
During our initial programme, Gen made incredible progress regaining the ability to walk, and went back into the gym (watch her deadlift for the first time) "I started unable to walk at all, stuck solid in one area, hand locked, quality of life in tatters. A few months later I’m back in the gym, driving, going out again."
Unfortunately, Gen was hospitalised for an extended period, and had no access to support during this time, and most of the results we achieved seemed to be lost. After being discharged, she joined us again, incredibly nervous that we would be starting from square one. In just ONE session (90 mins) we regained the progress we'd made over the previous course of appointments.
This is a familiar pattern with FND - even when setbacks occur, including illness, seizures and stressful life events, the 'bounce back' period is often unbelievable - these events don't have the lasting negative impact they used to. Many of our clients will not have loss of function post seizures after working with us. We also plan in maintenance strategies so our clients have tools on hand to deal with the unexpected.
