Bobath

The Bobath concept describes an approach developed in the 1940’s by Dr Karel Bobath and Mrs Berta Bobath. It is a well-known treatment intervention for people with neurological conditions and is widely used and well respected in countries worldwide.

It is based on the therapist’s understanding of normal movement and their ability, through their handling of a patient, to give them the sensation of movement in order to assist appropriate restructuring of the nervous system to regain movement and function.

The physiotherapists at Bristol neurohysio have extensive experience of using Bobath techniques in rehabilitation and management of various neurological conditions.

Some kind words

I had a Stroke 18 months ago and only contacted Bristol Neurophysio six weeks ago. I had a prompt response and appointment made for the following week, unfortunately I had to cancel this due to illness. Kirsty was extremely understanding and rescheduled immediately. I have had three sessions since and am extremely pleased with my progress towards my wish to walk, for the first time I feel this will happen. It is hard work and tiring but Kirsty is always cheerful and encouraging and each time makes the tasks achievable. At last someone understands what it's like for me and takes time to explain how my Stroke has affected me. Watch this space as I'm sure I will be posting a new testimonial when I am walking again.
