Functional Neurological Disorder | Self-help videos for FND management | Tremor entrainment

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) can cause problems with your movement and sensation. Tremor is a common symptom of FND. People often experience tremors in their limbs, and it can also affect the head and trunk. These tremors can disrupt your daily activities and lead to withdrawal from them. Strategies such as tremor entrainment, competing movements, and relaxation are essential for managing functional tremors. In this section, we will explore unhelpful compensatory movements that can worsen your symptoms and discuss strategies to improve your tremors and overall function.

FND is actually very interesting even though it can be extremely disabling. It seems like rhythmic movements really can interrupt the chaotic misfiring of neural pathways. I was recently diagnosed after 7 years. I appreciate any help that’s available because there’s not a ton of information. Thank you for this video

Thanks

That's a great video, exactly what I need, since I can't find any FND specialized doctor near me. Maybe add a video with FND related breathing exercises to the playlist?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble finding an FND specialist near you. Are you in the USA? I was diagnosed recently myself.
