What is the Bobath method?

The Bobath method is an internationally recognized therapeutic approach, developed for the rehabilitation of people living with central nervous system injuries.

Developed in the 1940s by Karel and Berta Bobath, it is constantly updated thanks to advances in neuroscience and biomechanics.

It is a method based on clinical problem-solving: the therapist analyzes your movement abilities in depth, identifies the causes of the deficits, and creates a customized rehabilitation plan for you.

Each treatment aims to recover lost functions, reduce atypical movements, and promote more effective and natural motor control.

Benefits and goals of treatment

With the Bobath method, rehabilitation becomes a continuous learning process that engages both body and mind.

The goal is to restore your autonomy, confidence, and self-confidence in your movements.

How does the treatment work?

During sessions, the therapist guides you through targeted movements and facilitation techniques that stimulate neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and create new connections.

Through observation and repetition of correct movement patterns, the body learns to regain strength, balance, and fluidity, allowing you to regain the independence you need to perform your daily activities effectively.

Local program

Regular and personalized sessions, ideal for those who wish to maintain their results over time.

We have been fighting Parkinson’s for over 20 years

Receiving a Parkinson’s diagnosis changes everything: the fear, the uncertainty, the sense of loneliness are real, and they affect not only the person who is diagnosed, but also those around them.

Alex Reed, our founder, experienced it at first hand. Diagnosed at a young age, he soon discovered how obsolete and distant the way patients were treated.

We believe that no one should feel like a victim: every person can live life fully, facing the condition with hope and without resignation.

In Boario, every guest becomes part of our extended family. We walk together throughout your stay, step by step, to achieve concrete results that improve the quality of your life and that of your loved ones.

Our programs and therapies that can change your life

Tailored to your needs, our programs combine physical, cognitive, and emotional support to help you regain control, improve your well-being, and live fully with Parkinson’s.
