Gross Motor Delays

Gross motor skills are the activities we perform in our daily lives that involve using large muscle groups. Examples are rolling, crawling, sitting, standing, walking, running, and jumping. Delays in gross motor development can occur for many reasons; the presence of a medical diagnosis, abnormal muscle tone, decreased strength or range of motion, or a lack of tummy time. While some children catch up to their peers without intervention, others may be at risk of falling further behind or developing improper movement strategies that can affect their future posture and mobility. Our pediatric movement specialists will help your child overcome these challenges and lead them on a path to achieve their milestones.
