Psychomotor therapy helps children connect their body, mind, and emotions.
Through play and movement, children learn how to use their body with confidence, express themselves, and develop attention, coordination, and self-regulation.
It supports every child’s growth (emotionally, socially, physically and cognitively) by strengthening the foundation between how they move, feel and think.
What Does a Psychomotor Therapist Work On?
A psychomotor therapist supports your child’s development in many areas:
- Body Awareness & Control – understanding where their body is in space and how to move it confidently.
- Balance & Coordination – improving posture, fluidity, and movement control.
- Fine & Gross Motor Skills – developing precision, strength, and control.
- Attention & Executive Functions – strengthening focus, memory, planning, and flexible thinking.
- Body Schema & Muscle Tone – supporting stability, control, and comfort in movement.
- Handwriting & Graphomotor Skills – improving pencil control, perceptive decoding, quality and speed of writing.
- Space & Time Organization – understanding directions, sequences, and routines.
- Emotional Regulation & Confidence – helping children manage frustration, express emotions, and feel capable.
- Social Interaction – encouraging connection, cooperation, and play with others.
All these domains are connected. By supporting the body, we also support focus, emotions, and learning.

What Happens in a Session?

Through movement, play, rhythm, relaxation, and creative activities, your child learns to:
- Explore and understand their body
- Gain control, coordination, and confidence
- Focus better and engage for longer periods
- Express emotions through play and movement
- Build independence in daily life and school routines
Our goal is to help each child feel secure in their body, focused in their mind, and free in their expression so they can grow, learn, and feel confident and happy in their daily life.
