The Bobath Approach

The Bobath Approach is a therapeutic method used to help individuals, especially those with neurological conditions like stroke or brain injury, improve movement and function. It focuses on understanding how the brain and body interact, aiming to reduce abnormal movements and promote normal movement patterns. Therapists guide patients through specific activities and positioning to encourage muscle control, coordination, and balance, helping them regain independence. The approach emphasizes individualized treatment plans, recognizing each person's unique needs and potential for recovery through sensory feedback and motor learning.
