Everything you need to know about assessment, treatment and medical management in Functional Neurologic Disorders (FND). 

This course is a person centered theory and practice for increasing your confidence and optimizing your outcomes for people with functional neurologic disorders. 

Functional movement disorders, functional weakness, CRPS--what do these disorders have in common? All are examples of disorders where neuroplasticity has gone awry. The therapist guides a journey to undo the negative neuroplasticity that has taken place and cultivate CNS connectivity.

An intensive recorded online course including advanced theoretical perspectives from PTs, OTs and MDs specialized in this area. This course will be very practical—bring it to the clinic on Monday--learning. If you know re+active, then you know that this course is sure to be engaging, enjoyable and theory made practical.
