“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.”
