Fibromyalgia, Movement Dysfunction & the Case for Functional Neurorehabilitation Webinar
19 August @ 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST
Free - $99.00
While fibromyalgia is traditionally approached through pain reduction strategies, clinicians frequently observe broader functional impairments, including postural instability, fatigue, cognitive interference, and kinesiophobia. These features suggest underlying disturbances in sensory integration, motor planning, and nervous system threat processing.
Drawing on current literature and clinical insights, the webinar examines the emerging evidence that motor control deficits are core features of fibromyalgia, not merely secondary effects of pain. The presentation outlines how pain, fear, and inactivity can drive a self-reinforcing cycle that progressively reduces movement confidence and functional capacity.
Time: 8:30pm – 9:30pm AEST

- Biography
Dr Nicole Quodling is a chiropractor with more than three decades of experience, focussing on neurorehabilitation and the management of complex chronic pain disorders. Nicole holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Adelaide, a Master of Chiropractic and a Master of Chiropractic Sports Science from Macquarie University, and a Master of Science in Neuroscience from the Carrick Institute.
Nicole is the Principal Chiropractor of a multidisciplinary practice in Medindie Gardens, South Australia, where she works with individuals experiencing persistent and medically complex pain conditions. Her clinical focus centres on functional neurorehabilitation, with particular interest in multisensory integration, movement dysfunction, dysautonomia, and central sensitisation syndromes. Alongside her clinical work, Nicole is actively engaged in research exploring the neurological mechanisms underlying medically unexplained pain with publications in several international journals.
Nicole is also committed to professional education and mentorship. She regularly collaborates with colleagues interested in advancing neurological approaches to rehabilitation and has been invited by the Carrick Institute to help re-establish the Functional Neurology Diplomate programme in Australia. This programme represents the first in-person Carrick Institute diplomate training offered in Australia in more than a decade.
