Psychomotor therapy

---

Psychomotor therapy is an innovative therapeutic approach that combines physical movements with psychological insight. This type of therapy has proven to be effective in helping individuals overcome cognitive and physical struggles, such as fine motor deficits, gross motor deficits, attention and concentartion issues, and cognitive planning difficulties. 

Through the practice of psychomotor therapy, individuals are able to gain insight into their physical and mental sensations. This type of therapy focuses on increasing awareness of body movements, body language, and emotions. It also provides an opportunity for self-expression and insight into how physical actions can be linked to emotional states.  Through the practice of psychomotor therapy, individuals can gain a greater understanding of themselves, their minds, and how their body and mind are connected.

With children, psychomotor therapy targets the neurological and motor functions of the body to optimise activities of daily living holistically. It aims to develop thier academic potential, social integration, mental health, and physical well-being.
