Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 2 to 4 percent of the global population, yet clinical management continues to focus predominantly on pain modulation. A growing body of peer-reviewed research now points to something clinicians in movement-based disciplines are well positioned to address: measurable, neurologically meaningful dysfunction in gait, postural stability, balance, and sensorimotor integration. Functional neurology, neurorehabilitation for fibromyalgia, sensorimotor processing disorders, and movement-based chronic pain assessment represent the core clinical and academic territory this course covers.

This one-hour webinar moves beyond symptom management to examine the nervous system mechanisms underlying movement dysfunction in fibromyalgia. Participants will explore how impairments in proprioception, central sensitization, and postural control reflect altered sensory processing at a systems level, and how that understanding changes both clinical reasoning and rehabilitation planning. The course presents a practical framework for integrating objective movement assessment into clinical decision-making, bridging neuroscience research with the realities of frontline patient care.

This course is designed for licensed chiropractors, chiropractic neurologists, physiotherapists, and other movement-informed clinicians who regularly encounter fibromyalgia in practice and are seeking a more neurologically grounded approach to assessment and intervention. It is equally relevant for clinicians pursuing advanced competency in functional neurology or chronic pain neurorehabilitation.

The course is presented by Nicole Quodling, BSc MChiro MChiroSpSc DACNB MScClinNeurosc, a chiropractic neurologist with advanced postgraduate training in sports science and clinical neuroscience. Her dual expertise in functional neurology and movement science positions her to translate complex neurological research into clinical frameworks that are both evidence-informed and practically applicable.
