The course is addressed exclusively to Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech Therapists.

Course language will be Greek.

LLLC, EPIMORFOSIS, intends to organize a basic level Bobath course for adults with neurological conditions, under the auspices of the International Bobath Instructors Training Association (Ι.Β.Ι.Τ.Α.) with professors Kosta Kyprioti & Evaggelia Manta.

The course lasts 15 days and will take place in Athens.

The course fee is 1.700€.

In order to finalize your registration and ensure a placement to this seminar, a down payment of 500€ must be deposited.

The rest amount of 1.200€ (400€ + 400€ + 400€) must be deposited in our bank account or via debit / credit card, at least 2 days prior to the beginning day of each part of the course.

^{NDT Method}

The Bobath concept is a problem-solving approach to the assessment and treatment of individuals with disturbances of function, movement and postural control due to a lesion of the central nervous system (IBITA 1996, Panturin 2001, Brock et al 2002, Raine 2006).

There are two levels provided for learning the method. The basic level carries out in two 5-days courses and the advanced level carries out in a 5-day course.

According to the IBITA’s course program, at the conclusion of the course the course member will be able to:

• Understand the history and ongoing development of the Bobath concept.


• Be able to integrate the principles of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in their evaluation and treatment of adults with hemiplegia.


• Analyse and facilitate efficient postural and movement control in preparation for and during functional activity.


• Understand the functional consequences of lesions of the central nervous system


• Observe and analyse disturbances of movement and function, and influence these through intervention.


• Utilise the principles of motor control, motor learning, neural plasticity and muscle plasticity in their approach to treatment.


• Understand the relationship between assessment and treatment, and implement the ongoing process of clinical reasoning.


• Adapt and apply appropriate theoretical principles of treatment to the individual patient/client within his environment.


• Develop effective handling skills and incorporate them with appropriate environmental and other influences in order to regain function.


• Appreciate the importance of appropriate outcome measures to support evidence-based practice.


• Continue learning through critical reading, self-evaluation and sharing with others.
