Occupational Therapy for Functional Neurological Disorder in Brisbane

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) affects how the brain sends and receives signals to the body. Symptoms are very real and can be confusing, unpredictable, and often misunderstood.

What challenges you may be experiencing

How occupational therapy helps

Occupational therapy focuses on retraining movement, rebuilding function, and helping you regain control.

We support:

  • Understanding symptom patterns

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Gradual retraining of movement and activity

  • Managing fatigue and energy

  • Returning to meaningful activities

Our Approach

We use a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming approach that recognises the complexity of FND.

We work with you to understand your nervous system, reduce fear around symptoms, and build sustainable strategies for recovery.
