Bobath therapy

This is a specialist type of handling that can influence the way a child moves.

For example where you head and arms are, affect the way you sit. This would mean that the therapist may hold your child at the head or arms to help your child learn to move. Then as the movement begins we start to reduce the support provided.

A trained therapist will work with you to look at the movement difficulties your child is displaying and how to optimise good patterns of movement with the use of handling and positions and then introduce this back into play.
