Most people use these skills easily and automatically but gross motor skills are more complex than they might seem. They involve the coordination of the muscles and the neurological system. They impact balance and coordination and form the basis for fine motor skills, that help us make small movements like using a pencil. Gross motor skills are related to other abilities.

These include:

• Balance
• Coordination
• Body awareness
• Physical strength
• Reaction time

Having poor gross motor skills can impact people in all areas of life. It can also affect all ages, those who are not diagnosed until later in life might find that they were labelled clumsy. This is not their fault, their body was not working to its full capacity, it is never too late to work on gross motor skills.

Fell free to contact Sharon via the contact page, or phone should you have more questions. It can make it hard to do key tasks and school, work, and home. Difficulty with gross motor skills can also take a toll on self-esteem.
