NDT Bobath

It is a method of motor improvement, which is to help in comprehensive development, so that the patient achieves the greatest possible independence. The Bobath concept can be applied to infants, children as well as adults. NDT-Bobath therapy affects muscle tension, inhibits pathological reflexes, and triggers those that are as close to normal as possible. Not only exercises in the physiotherapist's office are important, but also the patient's work at home. 

In rehabilitation using the NDT-Bobath method, the importance of brain plasticity, improper sensory processing, the possibility of evaluating the results, individual planning of improvement activities and the possibility of participation of patient caregivers are emphasized. Such a method of neurological rehabilitation as NDT-Bobath allows to actively reduce the problems of people with damage to the central nervous system. The main goal of the Bobath method is to improve function with the maximum possible active participation of the patient and at the same time with no compensation.

Acquiring new skills allows for more different activities which enables greater participation in social life. The patient gains independence, so the quality of life is improved, both for him and for the people he depends on.

At the Grawitacja Center, we use the Bobath Method in patients with:
  • cerebral palsy (hemiplegia, diplegia, tetraplegia),
  • asymmetry,
  • problems with the distribution of tension (decreased or increased muscle tension),
  • disorders of psychomotor development,
  • damage to the nerve plexuses,
  • neuromuscular diseases of the SMA type,
  • meningeal hernia,
  • developmental defects,
  • coordination disorders,
  • feeding disorders,

and also for the purpose of:

  • learning positioning of patients to counteract secondary changes,
  • post-stroke recovery.
Rehabilitation using the Bobath method allows for diagnostics and therapy in newborns, infants, children and the elderly.
