EBTA Congress 2022
It is our great pleasure
to invite you to join us at the Biennial EBTA Congress 2022 to be held for the second time in Belgium in ‘De Bijloke’ in Ghent from 15 – 17th September 2022.
The European Bobath Tutors Association is a network of national Bobath teaching teams, comprising over 200 Bobath Tutors, from across Europe. EBTA exists to set, maintain and update standards of Bobath courses developed by Dr Karel Bobath and Mrs Berta Bobath across Europe. Additionally, EBTA has a mandate to encourage and implement therapy research and encourage EBTA tutors to help in developing countries.
Bobath offers an individualised holistic way of observation, analysis and treatment of people with Cerebral palsy delivered by expert physio, occupational and speech therapists in collaboration with medical doctors. Through clinical reasoning, the Bobath Concept focuses on maximising the potential of children and adults with Cerebral palsy and neurological conditions in their own family, school or social environment.
We are part of a large network
of therapists together with families, caregivers, psychologists, medical doctors in neurology, neuroscience, rehabilitation, paediatricians, orthopaedics, school teachers, specialists in technology, equipment, etc.
The Bobath Concept provides a solid foundation, which is evolving through time. The concept spreads out with each therapist’s new input and experience. Exchanging these ideas and knowledge is the aim of this congress. We aim to provide a transdisciplinary scientific education through and for Bobath and medical doctors.
The organising committee ABBV, The Belgian Bobath Association, is delighted to welcome you to our EBTA congress 2022. In the beautiful environment of De Bijloke in Ghent, we look forward to being in contact with so many people sharing the same professional beliefs, curiosity and passion.
