VOITA therapy in Moscow - rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy
VOITA therapy is the No. 1 method in Germany in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy of any severity, regardless of age.
The author of the technique is a pediatric neurologist, Professor Vaclav Voita, who worked at the Orthopedic University Clinic in Cologne and at the Munich Children's Center. He was one of the first to describe the motor development of a child under one year old. He identified certain areas that trigger a motor response. VOITA therapy is an active technique, a specialist causes involuntary motor reactions in a patient by fixing the child in a certain position. In the process, natural motor patterns or patterns of movement (reflex locomotion) are activated.
