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.

For over 12 years we have been developing the most advanced program with the best experts to help you live better with Parkinson’s

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

Alex Reed, our founder, experienced this firsthand. Diagnosed at a young age, he quickly discovered how outdated and degrading the way patients were treated was.

We believe that no one should feel like a victim: everyone can live fully, facing the disease with hope and without resignation.

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

Our programs and therapies that can change your life

Personalized 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.

  • I urge every Parkinson patient to follow this program at least once a year!

    Dear Director
    I am sending you my heartfelt thanks for the beneficial effects that the intensive 1 week program I followed at the European Parkinson Therapy Centre you admininister had on me, both physically as well as mentally. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease over 15 years ago.

    My personal physiotherapist Daniele was able and patient with me – I improved my walking abilities and the back pain I used to suffer each morning disappeared. I opted for the services of a speech therapist and Dr Giacomo Michele Spada was excellent in helping me improve my speech and voice. My nutritionist Dr Paola Guizzardi helped me in producing a good tmetable of nutrition based on the times of my medications intake.
    All in all, helped by the fact that i was given a report and a USB with exercises to perform daily helped me to continue the progress achieved.
    I urge every Parkinson patient to follow this program at least once a year. I would also like to thank Dr Alex Reed for his excellent presentations and overall directorship of the program. Praise also goes to the receptionist Ms Sara for making the experience unforgettable. Thank you all!
