Information for Patients

There are a number of neurological approaches used in the management of a neurological deficit. The Bobath Concept is one of the most commonly used approaches.

​

There are three levels of Bobath training:

  • Introductory modules

  • A three week long Basic Course held in two sections with a three month gap to present an individual case study

  • A one week long advanced courses (which can only be taken after the basic course)

​

Only on completion of all these levels can a physiotherapist use the designated term 'Bobath Trained'.
