Bobath gymnastics
This method of treatment initially was developed to facilitate development of prematurely born babies with neural defects. In the course of time it was observed that Bobath treatment is appreciated by and positively affects also healthy newborns. In its source it represents a workout class for the babies with their active involvement whereby little ones learn to be aware of their body and communicate with the surroundings, roll and swing on the gym ball. Babies thus develop feeling of balance, coordination of movement as well as regular tone of muscle.
Bobath therapy is organized individually for babies whose age varies from 3 months to one year. One class lasts for some 40 minutes depending on the baby’s span of attention. In the course of the class parents may master the basic skills of Bobath therapy for application in the home settings, as well as the Stork’s Nest offers wide range of ancillary equipment for home gymnastics. At our center Bobath gymnastics is practiced by pediatric nurses and masseuses Ivonna Daina Gruzdiņa and Baiba Kupruka.
