Bobath Concept
The Bobath concept is a dynamic neurodevelopmental approach aimed at bringing out the potential of every child.
Support Freedom of Movement with the Bobath Concept
The Bobath Concept is a specialised physiotherapy approach used to improve the quality of movement in children with neurological difficulties. At Trea Kids it is applied through an individual programme for every child. Neurodevelopmental support and individual application are the two cornerstones of the approach.
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Cerebral palsy
- Muscle tone disorders (hypotonia, hypertonia)
- Developmental coordination disorder
- Balance and posture problems
- Delays in motor skills
How Is the Therapy Delivered?
- Detailed developmental assessment
- Goal setting aligned with daily living functions
- Therapy delivered through play-based sessions
- Support for the family in applying the programme at home
Therapy Strengthened by Family Involvement
The family’s role is very important in the Bobath approach. Therapy continues not only at the clinic but at home as well. We carry out the process together with parents through tailored guidance. Attending and observing sessions, planning developmental goals together and being supported in a safe, caring environment are all part of the process.
With the Bobath Concept, therapy turns not only into movement but into daily living skills, independence and self-confidence.
What you may be wondering
We answer the questions on your mind with confidence, so parents can feel at ease.
Which age group does Trea Kids work with?
Trea Kids is a paediatric neurorehabilitation centre specialised in children aged 0–12. Because intervention is far more effective in early childhood, priority is given to the 0–6 age group.
How long does intensive therapy last?
Our intensive therapy programmes are usually planned over 3 to 6 weeks, with sessions of 1 to 2 hours, five days a week. The duration and intensity are set according to the child’s needs following the assessment.
What is TheraTogs and can every child use it?
TheraTogs is a wearable therapy garment that supports a child’s posture and movement control. It is not suitable for every child; suitability is decided after an initial assessment and the system is adjusted individually.
Can families take part in the therapy process?
Absolutely. Family involvement is very important at Trea Kids. We give feedback about the sessions, suggest supportive activities to do at home and make the family an active part of the process.
Is an assessment carried out before the sessions?
Yes. Before any of our services, the child’s physical, emotional and developmental status is assessed in detail. Goals are set and the therapy plan is built on the results of that assessment.
