If you’ve ever worked with a patient who had unexplained movement symptoms,
inconsistent strength, or “normal” imaging results—but something
still wasn’t right—you’ve likely seen Functional
Neurologic Disorder (FND) without knowing it.
Most
healthcare professionals aren’t familiar with FND by name…
But
they are seeing it.
And when it’s missed—or mistaken
for malingering, non-compliance, or psychological issues—patients suffer. They
bounce between providers, lose trust, and often experience worsening symptoms that
become harder to reverse.
FND is more common than MS,
more disabling than Parkinson’s, and increasingly recognized
by neurologists as a leading cause of unexplained functional impairment. Yet
healthcare professionals are rarely taught how to identify or treat
it.
This course changes that.
Led by
internationally recognized PT Mike Studer and neuropsychologist
Dr. Sherrie All, this training gives you practical, real-world
tools to spot FND, decode symptoms, and restore function—with
confidence:
- Identify FND when standard imaging and patterns don’t add
up
Learn red flags and clinical patterns that distinguish FND from stroke, MS, vestibular dysfunction, and orthopedic injury.
- Treat functional gait disturbances, tremors, drop attacks, and even
non-epileptic seizures
Use targeted strategies to interrupt maladaptive brain-body loops and restore efficient movement.
- Shift patient outcomes across ortho, neuro, geriatric, and sports rehab
settings
Apply FND-informed rehab strategies in your population—even when the diagnosis isn’t formal.
- Build trust with patients who feel dismissed, defeated, or
stuck
Learn the exact scripting and behavior-based tools to improve buy-in and re-engage patients who’ve “failed” elsewhere.
Register now to walk away with tools you’re use in your very next eval.

Why FND, why now?
Remember that time you
felt…stuck?
The patient who should be getting
better—but isn’t...
You know the type:
- Their scans are clean, but they can’t walk without veering.
- They test strong, but they collapse mid-activity.
- Their story doesn’t quite add up—and neither do the symptoms.
You’ve ruled out the usual suspects.
You’re left with questions no
textbook seems to answer.
For many providers, this is where the trail
goes cold.
But there’s more to the story—and more you can
do.
What if you could move beyond the frustration—into
clarity?
What if you had a framework to recognize these patterns, not dismiss
them…
And real tools to assess and treat, not just refer
out?
That’s exactly where we start:
- What FND really is—and why we’ve misunderstood it for decades
- The umbrella of FNDs: seizures, drop attacks, gait, cognition & more
- The neuroscience behind why symptoms appear—and persist
- The 3 P’s framework: Predisposing, Precipitating, Perpetuating
- Movement-based rule-in strategies (no more "diagnosis of exclusion")
- How to distinguish dystonia vs FND
- Confirming FND with functional testing—not just ruling everything else out
- Cognitive and emotional red flags to watch for
- Functional seizures: safe strategies in the clinic
- Drop attacks: what to do when the patient collapses
- Functional gait and motor disorders: getting past the block
- Cognitive dysfunction: tools to rebuild executive function
- Integrating sport psychology principles for athletes with FND
- What to say when patients ask: “Is this all in my head?”
- How to explain FND with empathy and evidence
- Language that builds trust and opens the door to recovery
- Working across professions: PT/OT + psych collab without overstepping
- Collegiate athlete with the yips
- Persistent post-concussion syndrome
- Functional drop attacks post-surgery
- Mixed-diagnosis FND cases (e.g. Parkinson's + cognitive FND)
Plus, you’ll get a powerful bonus pack of ready-to-use clinical tools:
- Quick-Start Evaluation Flowchart – Streamline your assessment process and spot functional patterns fast
- Top Treatment Strategies Summary – Go-to interventions at a glance for movement, cognition, and behavior
- Clinician’s Quick Reference Guide – Key distinctions, diagnostic clues, and action steps at your fingertips
- Soft Skills Script Pack – Proven language to build trust, boost buy-in, and defuse tough conversations
- The “3 Ps” Framework – A simple, memorable tool to guide both your clinical decisions and patient understanding
