In cases of congenital movement disorders, especially in Cerebral Palsy, Bobath therapy is the most frequently used and most scientifically sound physiotherapy approach in the world in patients with sensory-motor disorders.
One of the most powerful aspects of the Bobath Therapy concept is to analyse the child very well, to determine where the child is in normal development and in which step of development the child is deficient and to find the main problem. It knows very well how the normal movements of babies and children are and gives the feeling of normal movement to the child.
In order to reveal normal movement, regulate tonus anomalies due to neurological disorders in children, and inhibit pathological movements, therapeutic holds, sensory visual stimulations, special facilitation techniques are used.
Ensuring the participation of the family in the therapy, integrating the gains in the child into daily life, recognising and preventing problems that may develop in the future are other strengths of Bobath therapy. Bobath therapy is performed by paediatric physiotherapists who work in the field of paediatrics and receive the title of “Bobath therapist” by receiving the training of this concept specialised for children.
