The Bobath Centre specializes in individual therapy for children (and adults) with Cerebral Palsy using the Bobath/NDT approach to treatment and management. Therapy is based on a problem solving approach to this disorder of posture and movement, based on movement, analysis and systematic treatment facilitating the child to develop a greater repertoire of functional activities. The focus of therapy is helping the parents and carers to use and adapt play and everyday activities to help the children reach their functional potential. The Bobath Concept, which is used internationally, was developed at this Centre. The Centre runs an eight week postgraduate course in the treatment and management of Cerebral Palsy for doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech & language therapists. In addition, short, practical courses are run for other professionals such as teachers and classroom assistants. The Bobath Centre has a wide range of information available, details on request.
