Movement

Functional movement disorders

Functional movement disorders can make a hand, a walk, or a task stop working even when the person is trying. Occupational therapy keeps the focus on one real activity at a time, with less strain and a plan that does not overwhelm.

Occupational therapy practice at the Bowie clinic

Who this helps

  • A limb or your walk changes in a way that does not match a single injury
  • Tasks such as writing, eating, or standing up have become inconsistent
  • Fatigue or stress makes the movement worse
  • You want a calm place to practice without being rushed

What a visit includes

  • One or two daily tasks chosen with you
  • Practice paced so the body is not forced
  • Strategies for rest and for starting a task again
  • Coordination with your physician

Questions

Will therapy force the movement?

No. Sessions stay specific and unhurried. The aim is a task you can repeat, not a drill that spikes symptoms.

Where are visits?

At the Bowie clinic or at home in Prince George's County.
