What is vojta therapy and its benifits ?

Babies have an innate ability to develop movements to grasp, reach, roll, sit up, crawl, and eventually stand up and walk; these abilities are not taught but appear to be ‘stored movement patterns’, which control the muscles of the body in a coordinated sequence. Vojta established that components of these movements provoked ‘global’ dynamic muscle activity and central nervous system regulation, which is found in all forms of human movement or locomotion.

 ‘Global patterns’ form the basis of Reflex Locomotion, a term that refers to the motor responses resulting from the application of Vojta therapy, or pressure applied to specific areas of the body which cause the reflexes.

Vojta/Reflex Locomotion/Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation may benefit the following conditions:

• Cerebral Palsy (CP) 

• Central Co-ordination Disorder (CCD) 

• Peripheral paresis • Spina Bifida (MMC) 

• Myopathies • Congenital malformations (pes equinovarus) 

• Orthopaedic problems (scoliosis, hip dysplasia, congenital hip dislocation) 

• Stroke • Brain injuries 

• Traumatic cross sections 

• Multiple sclerosis 

• Neuromuscular dysfunctions 

• Back pain from nerve root involvement 

• Function problems of breathing, swallowing and digestive tract
