The Advanced Bobath Course in Barcelona - Day 4

The alarm was needed in the morning and again (?) a rainy day in Barcelona. And because it was Saturday you couldn’t buy an umbrella before 9 a.m. On the way to clinic I saw some football players in "football station". Slightly wet feeling when I got to a clinic but what comes for today – it was excellent. I wanted to come here and learn lots of specifity of assessment and handling and today we did that a lot.



First in the morning we practiced how to get from sitting to standing and back sitting. There was lots of talk about lateral shifting and tilting and anterior-posterior tilting when you should get the patient  on his/her legs or posterior tilt when you want to get the knees flexed and back to sitting. I had a chance to practice this with Elena, who is also a Basic Course Instructor.

Our patients came after lunch and ”our man” was very pleased because his hand was much more relaxed. Therefore his wife had cutted his finger nails without any hard work yesterday. Today we practiced with him lots of postural control without head movements and trunk movements separated from trunk movements.


In the afternoon we facilitated our coursemates from standing to the floor. And next Lynne showed us something she likes to do a lot with her patients on the floor in supine. It was a nice coincidence how all my advanced courses (AC) get together in one practice. In the first AC we learned how to use neckstanding to release the stiffness from the trunk. In the second AC we learned how to use neurodynamics to release tension controlaterally. Today Lynne teached us how to use neckstanding to find selective movement to thorax and pelvis in neckstanding, and in this posture double leg SLR (straight leg raise) to get the patient standing in both legs. And she took it a bit longer though and showed how to practice selectively from sitting to standing and back to sitting in this neckstanding posture. It was impressive!





In the evening we had dinner together with Lynne and other students and after that prepairing for the last day.


Buenas noches…
