The Bobath Centre is a charity that specialises in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy.

The Bobath Centre:

  • Treats children in accordance with Bobath principles.
  • Provides an assessment and consultancy service, especially for children living at a distance from London.
  • Trains graduate therapists in the principles and practice of Bobath treatment to promote its wider use.
  • Undertakes research, in conjunction with University College London and the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine, into the nature of cerebral palsy and ways of mitigating its effects.

The aim of the Bobath approach is, through specialised techniques of handling, to give children with cerebral palsy the experience of a greater variety of co-ordinated movement patterns.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.
