Course Description:
This is a 2-day introductory level course open to Physiotherapists and Occupational therapists. Participants will be introduced to fundamental aspects of the Bobath Concept in order to expand their clinical assessment and treatment skills and optimize functional recovery for their clients.

Skills taught will be readily translatable to the clinical setting for use with both neurological and non-neurological populations in a variety of care settings.
