Neuro Developmental Therapy-Neuro Developmental Treatment (NDT) and its development in the form of NDT-Bobath Baby is an advanced, internationally recognised physiotherapy method with a proven track record in treatment. NDT therapy is designed for people who, due to damage to the central nervous system, have difficulty controlling movement. The NDT concept draws knowledge from new theories and scientific developments in neurology, neurophysiology, orthopaedics, biomechanics and others. When working with a patient who has a neurological disorder, physiotherapists use a therapy that is individually tailored to the patient. The aim is to help the person become as independent in everyday life as possible.
Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), a therapeutic method that aims to improve movement by eliminating abnormal reflexes and normalising muscle tone, facilitating correct postural reflexes and free movements. By assisting through key points on the child’s body – head, shoulder girdle and pelvic girdle – the therapist tries to induce correct movement. The main therapeutic goal is to achieve independence and self-reliance in everyday life.
