About the courses:
The course is intended for physiotherapists and physiotherapy students who are interested in understanding movement, movement quality, and the practice of developing and teaching movement awareness.

What is BBAT?
BBAT (Basic Body Awareness Therapy) is an evidence-based physiotherapy approach. We work through movements in lying, sitting and standing. We practice movements in pairs, use of voice and touch. It is used in rehabilitation, stress reduction and occupational health improvement. Studies confirm the positive effects of BBAT in cases of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, pain, fibromyalgia, trauma, personality disorders and schizophrenia. BBAT also helps physiotherapists take care of their well-being.
