What We Do
Our training and therapy is based on the Bobath Approach
Our therapists are Bobath trained, following a first training in physiotherapy, occupational therapy or speech and language therapy.
The Bobath concept is a problem-solving approach to the assessment and treatment of people with disabilities resulting from neurological damage.
It is an interactive process between patient and therapist that aims to optimise function by improving postural control and selective movement.
