Conditions

Physio & Health Matters understands Functional Disorders and can help in a wide range of ways.

Functional Disorder provides an umbrella term for a variety of symptoms but do not have a clear cause, unlike other neurological conditions. The most common misconception is that patients are in control of some or all of their symptoms. The patient does not consciously produce functional symptoms.

Presentation may be similar to a wide range of other neurological conditions and can be as debilitating as Parkinson’s disease and MS and have many similar symptoms.

Very few effective treatment plans exist. Physiotherapy is the most effective form of treatment with a goal of re-introducing and restoring proper movement patterns.

Physio and Health matters have over 20 years’ experience and a team of specialist clinicians to support you in your rehabilitation needs. We have a range of options including (but not limited to)

Hands on therapy

Spasticity management / Botulinum toxin injections
