Restarting Your Reach: How Forearm Stimulation Helps You Grasp Again.

Bobath is Not About Symmetry. It’s About Optimising Cortical State.
Written by Karen Blagojevic. One of the most persistent misunderstandings I encounter is the idea that therapists applying the Bobath Concept are focused on making patients “symmetrical.” We are not chasing symmetry. We are interested in optimising the state of the nervous system —specifically, state-dependent motor cortex excitability. Selective movement does not simply appear because a patient “tries harder.” It emerges when the motor cortex, descending systems, spinal netw

This course changes how you see movement.
BBTA Tutors; Karen Blagojevic & Tim Walton. @ Breightmet Health Centre, Bolton Most people don’t leave saying, “I learned a technique.” They leave saying, “I treat my patients differently now.” That’s the Bobath Concept. Thank you for reading. We hope these bite-sized Bobath insights provided a fresh perspective for your clinical practice. We can’t wait to see you at our next course!

Clinical reasoning isn’t taught. It’s developed.
BBTA Tutors; Karen Blagojevic & Tim Walton. @ Breightmet Health Centre, Bolton. The Model of Bobath Clinical Practice (MBCP) gives structure to your thinking. You learn to analyze movement quality, identify missing components, form working hypotheses, select facilitation strategies, and evaluate change objectively. This is reasoning you can take back to clinic—not a framework that stays in a folder. Don't miss next week's expert breakdown - designed to keep you at the forefr

Optimising Upper Limb Recovery: A Clinician’s Perspective on the Challenges and Solutions.
Tim Walton (BBTA tutor) Helping patients recover arm function after neurological injury remains one of the most challenging—and rewarding—parts of my work. While encouraging patients to complete tasks with the right number of repetitions is essential, we all know it’s not as simple as “just keep doing the task.” If it were, rehabilitation would be far less complex. The real difficulty lies in addressing the wide range of presentations, underlying impairments, and barriers to
