About Movement Disorders

Parkinsons disease
ataxias
tics
bradykinesia
autism

Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that cause abnormal movements. They could be increased movement (like spasms, jerking or shaking) and/or decreased or slow movement. They can affect actions you choose to make (voluntary) or cause uncontrolled (involuntary) movements.

Supporting Movement Disorder Recovery

Functional Neurology

Functional neurology aids recovery from movement disorders by targeting impaired neural pathways through tailored therapies. Techniques such as balance training, sensory stimulation, and oculomotor exercises promote neuroplasticity, enhancing motor control and coordination.

This personalised, non-invasive approach supports nervous system function, reduces symptoms, and improves mobility and quality of life.

Osteopathic Medicine

Osteopathic medicine aids recovery from movement disorders by improving musculoskeletal alignment, enhancing blood flow, and reducing tension through gentle manual techniques.

Treatments like cranial osteopathy restore nervous system balance, optimise motor function, and alleviate pain, supporting neuroplasticity and improving mobility, coordination, and overall quality of life in movement disorder patients.

Blood Chemistry Analysis

The blood chemistry of someone with a movement disorder may show elevated inflammation markers (e.g., CRP), oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, or nutrient deficiencies like magnesium, vitamin D, and B vitamins.

Imbalances in neurotransmitter precursors or heavy metal toxicity may also be present, guiding targeted interventions to support neurological health and recovery.

Functional Medicine

Functional medicine aids recovery from movement disorders by addressing root causes like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Personalised interventions focus on optimising diet, reducing toxins, and supporting neurotransmitter balance.

This holistic approach enhances cellular energy, improves nervous system function, and promotes long-term mobility, coordination, and overall neurological health.
