Bobath therapy in Zagreb
A hands-on approach to relearning movement after neurological injury, guiding the pattern rather than compensating around it.
In short
This is delivered inside a physical therapy session, which costs 70 EUR and lasts 45 to 60 minutes including the assessment. Full list on the pricing page.
What the approach is
The Bobath concept treats movement after neurological injury as something to be relearned rather than worked around. The physiotherapist uses hands-on guidance to make a more normal movement pattern possible, then withdraws that support as you take over.
The emphasis is on quality of movement and postural control, not only on whether a task gets completed. A person can get out of a chair using compensations that will cost them a shoulder or a knee within a year.
Who it suits
Adults after a stroke or brain injury, particularly where one side is affected and tone is altered. It is applied inside a broader neurological rehabilitation plan alongside task practice, balance work and a home programme.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Bobath better than other approaches?
- The honest answer is that comparative evidence between named neurological approaches is not strong, and outcomes track intensity of practice more than the label on the method. What we take from Bobath is the attention to movement quality; what drives recovery is repetition.
- Is it too late if my stroke was years ago?
- No. Improvement is fastest early, but function continues to respond to structured practice long after. The assessment tells you what is realistic in your specific case.
- Can family be involved?
- Yes, and it helps. Most repetition happens at home, and the people around you need to know how to assist without doing the movement for you.
- Do you treat children?
- Our neurological work is with adults. For paediatric Bobath, ask us and we will point you toward an appropriate service.
