Bobath Approach

The Bobath Approach is a method used in therapy for individuals with neurological conditions, such as stroke or cerebral palsy. Developed by physiotherapists Mary and Karel Bobath, this approach focuses on improving movement and function by promoting normal movement patterns. It emphasizes individualized treatment, where therapists assess a person's unique needs and abilities to guide exercises and activities. The goal is to enhance motor control, coordination, and overall independence by helping the brain adapt and rewire itself after injury. This approach is often integrated into rehabilitation programs to support recovery and improve quality of life.
