Building Gross Motor Skills Through Occupational Therapy

Gross motor skills are the foundation of physical development in children, supporting movement, balance, strength, and coordination. At OrbRom Center in Phnom Penh, our occupational therapy sessions focus on activities like climbing, jumping, and balancing to help children build the strong, coordinated bodies they need for daily life and academic success.

When children engage in structured gross motor activities, they develop not only their muscles but also their confidence and independence.

Why Gross Motor Development Is Important

Gross motor skills are crucial for children to perform everyday activities, such as:

• Walking, running, and jumping

• Climbing stairs and playground equipment

• Maintaining balance while sitting or standing

• Participating in sports and group activities

Delays in gross motor development can impact a child’s school readiness, social participation, and ability to engage in self-care tasks. Occupational therapy offers targeted support to help children strengthen their bodies and reach important developmental milestones.

How OrbRom Center Supports Gross Motor Development

At OrbRom Center, our occupational therapists design individualized programs that use play-based approaches to build gross motor skills. Some key strategies include:

• Climbing and Balancing Exercises: Activities that improve muscle strength, core stability, and body awareness.

• Obstacle Courses: Fun challenges that develop coordination, endurance, and motor planning skills.

• Strength and Endurance Activities: Tasks that encourage repetitive movement and active engagement to build physical stamina.

By integrating these activities into therapy sessions, we create a dynamic environment where children feel motivated, successful, and eager to move.
