About this listen

🎙️ 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: ✅ Why pain and movement disorders frequently co-exist ✅ The predictive nature of movement—how our brain shapes our motor responses ✅ The debate: Should rehab focus on pushing through pain or finding comfort in movement? ✅ The role of awareness, agency, and flexible treatment strategies in recovery ✅ How insights from FND treatment can improve approaches to CRPS

💡 Bonus Resource: Interested in the research behind this discussion? Check out the 2018 paper by Stoyan Popkirov et al. on the CRPS & FND debate in Neurology. https://doi.org/10.1136/jnnp-2018-318298
