  • Yes. Our neurological rehabilitation program includes care provided by a physical therapist with Advanced IBITA Bobath training.

    The Bobath Concept is an internationally recognized approach to neurological rehabilitation that emphasizes individualized assessment and treatment to improve movement, balance, mobility and functional independence.

    It is widely known in the US as Neuro-Developmental Treatment or NDT, is a problem-solving approach to assess and treat individuals with central nerve system disorders like stroke or cerebral palsy. It uses hands-on facilitation and motor learning principles to normalized muscle tone and restore efficient, everyday movement.

    Treatment is integrated with current evidence-based physical therapy and tailored to each patient’s goals and needs.

  • Every patient’s recovery is unique. The number of visits depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, goals, and progress. After your evaluation, your physical therapist will develop an individualized treatment plan and discuss the expected course of therapy with you.
