Movement is very effective for treating FND. We recommend finding out if there are any local functional fitness options available.
Previously, FND FrieNDs partnered with an organization called Nortle to offer excellent online fitness classes, which many users found beneficial, but unfortunately, we are unable to provide that now.
For more information of what is available, please consult local health professionals such as your Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist (OT), General Practitioner (GP), or nurse.
“It was good that it was slowed down and I could take it at my own pace as I often lose feeling in my legs especially after seizures. It was friendly and you felt welcome”.

FND Seizures
“It was great, a nice pace. Ruth explained things and made us feel at ease. Lovely to see fellow sufferers and be part of a group. I like the idea that we are waking up the nervous system gently and letting it know it is ok to do gentle exercises. I am not very good at doing this on my own. I really enjoyed it and found it very helpful and lovely to incorporate relaxation. .. Thank you Ruth you were amazing.”

FND movement difficulties
This was so helpful. I loved being reminded of why the mechanisms of the exercises are feared/broken down in FND and the gentle nudges to try anyway.”
