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 would just like to let everyone know how happy I am since starting treatment at Bristol Neurophysio.  I have noticed a great beneficial change to my condition, ataxia.  It's been such a relief for me to find someone who understands my condition and is able to set up a programme suitable for my abilities.  Kirsty is always upbeat and cheerful and is always a great help.  I come away from my sessions feeling so much better and able to get on with my life!
