Some symptoms do not fit neatly into one diagnosis, one body region, or one system. Complex rehabilitation takes a broader look at how different systems are working together and how well the body is able to respond to changing demands.
Treatment is still based on the individual findings from your evaluation, but this approach can be especially useful when symptoms overlap, change with different activities or environments, or have not been fully explained by looking at one area of the body alone.
One system that can play an important role in complex presentations is the autonomic nervous system. It is constantly receiving information from the body, helping organize a response, and making adjustments as the body's needs change.
Understanding how this system works provides a foundation for understanding why symptoms can sometimes involve several seemingly unrelated areas of the body.
