The Bobath concept is a therapeutic approach aimed at improving motor skills in children with movement disorders.
The therapy focuses on influencing the central nervous system to promote better control, coordination, and balance of movement.
Key elements of the concept include targeted work on the child’s perception and muscle tone regulation. Through specific exercises, handling techniques, and playful activities, natural movement patterns are encouraged to enhance the child’s independence and functional abilities.
Perception-focused stimulation helps children develop a stronger body awareness, improved spatial orientation, and more conscious movement control.
Work on muscle tone aims to improve the balance between muscle tension and relaxation.
It is important to note that the Bobath concept should be applied by qualified professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes.
