Hello,
I have a question about the physical therapy you are doing Purpleturtle. Is it FMD specific? I recently continued my physical therapy that I've been doing for a year since my spinal fusion. It actually triggers more movement with my FMD. I go in there calm and relaxed and leave with full body movements. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Wishing you all the best,
Kat

I had occupational therapy for my hands and physical therapy for balance problems. I have started botox injections for the tremors.

The PT that my movement specialist neurologist recommended, which I have been unable to start yet, due to other health problems, is rendered by a PT Specialist, with specific PT geared to FND/FMD, as I understand it. So, yes, there are PT specialists for this therapy but, as I understand it, they are not easy to find. I sincerely hope you can find one who is able to give you the specific therapy for FND/FMD. Otherwise, if it were me, I do not know if I would pursue it myself. I have just wasted so much time going down dead-end streets with so many health issues, that I just can't do that anymore. I am sincerely not telling you what to do, I am only stating how I feel about it. Whatever you do, I just hope you can find some relief. If you end up worse after your PT, then I would certainly say that you are not getting the correct PT.
