Episode 63: The Hidden Connection Between Movement & Pain (CRPS & FND Explored)
Description
🎙️ Hosts: Tim Beames & Bart Van Buchem
What if pain isn’t just about injury—but about how we predict movement? In this episode, Tim Beames and Bart Van Buchem unravel the deep connections between Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and Functional Neurological Disorders (FND), exploring how pain and movement disorders often overlap and what that means for recovery.
🔍 What you'll learn:
âś… Why pain and movement disorders frequently co-exist
✅ The predictive nature of movement—how our brain shapes our motor responses
âś… The debate: Should rehab focus on pushing through pain or finding comfort in movement?
âś… The role of awareness, agency, and flexible treatment strategies in recovery
âś… How insights from FND treatment can improve approaches to CRPS
