Functional Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilition

FUNCTIONAL NEURO REHAB

What is Functional Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitation (FNOR)?

FNOR is a specialised therapy that integrates neuroscience (the study of the nervous system) with orthopedics (the branch of medicine focused on the musculoskeletal system) to create a holistic treatment approach. It recognises that many chronic pain conditions, injuries, or performance issues are a result of poor communication between the nervous system and the body.

By focusing on improving both the structural alignment and the neurological pathways, FNOR helps patients experience faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved functional movement.

Benefits of Functional Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Addresses the Root Cause of Pain

Traditional treatments often focus on managing symptoms without fully addressing the underlying cause of pain. FNOR, however, looks deeper by identifying dysfunctions in the nervous system and their impact on the musculoskeletal system. This allows us to treat the root cause of your pain, leading to more effective and long-lasting relief.

Improves Movement and Function

FNOR treatments are designed to improve the way your brain and body communicate. This enhanced connection improves motor control, muscle coordination, and overall movement patterns. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or simply looking to improve performance, FNOR can help you move more freely and efficiently.

Supports Recovery from Injury

For patients recovering from an orthopedic injury—such as a sprain, strain, or fracture—FNOR accelerates recovery by optimising both neurological and musculoskeletal healing processes. By incorporating targeted exercises, manual therapy, and neuromuscular re-education, FNOR helps restore strength, stability, and range of motion more effectively than traditional rehab methods.

Effective for Neurological Conditions

FNOR is particularly beneficial for individuals with neurological conditions such as concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), or post-stroke recovery. By enhancing the brain's ability to communicate with the body, FNOR improves balance, coordination, and cognitive function, helping patients regain independence and quality of life after a neurological event.

Reduces Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can result from a dysfunction in the brain's processing of pain signals. FNOR uses a combination of neurological retraining, physical therapy, and manual techniques to "reset" these pain pathways, helping reduce chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraines, or back pain. This method provides a natural alternative to pain medications, allowing you to live with less discomfort and more freedom.

Holistic and Personalised Care

FNOR takes a holistic approach, meaning that we treat the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. Each treatment plan is highly personalised, addressing your specific neurological and musculoskeletal needs. We assess your brain function, posture, movement patterns, and injury history to create a program that is uniquely tailored to your body’s condition and goals.

Boosts Athletic Performance

For athletes looking to enhance performance, FNOR can optimise your movement patterns, improve reaction times, and boost neuromuscular coordination. By refining the way your brain controls your body during athletic activities, FNOR helps you perform at your peak while also reducing the risk of injury.

Conditions That Can Benefit from FNOR

Functional Neuro-Orthopedic Rehabilitation can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:
​

• Chronic pain (back pain, neck pain, joint pain)
• Orthopedic injuries (sprains, strains, fractures)
• Concussions and post-concussion syndrome
• Neurological disorders (stroke, brain injury, balance disorders)
• Post-surgical rehabilitation
• Sports injuries (ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, etc.)
• Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions

How FNOR Complements Chiropractic Care

At Total Body Fusion, FNOR is a powerful complement to chiropractic care. While chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment and improve spinal health, FNOR addresses the neurological components of movement and pain. Together, these treatments provide a comprehensive approach to healing that promotes long-term wellness and prevents re-injury.

By focusing on both the brain and the body, FNOR enhances the effectiveness of traditional chiropractic treatments, offering you a deeper level of care that accelerates recovery and maximises your physical potential.
