Libreville, Gabon — On May 2, 2026, the Gabonese Society of Psychomotricity hosted an open day in Libreville, inviting the public to explore the lesser-known discipline of psychomotricity. Health professionals, students, and curious individuals participated in conferences, practical workshops, and interactive sessions to understand the foundational principles and benefits of this therapeutic approach that bridges the gap between the body and the mind.
The Société Gabonaise de Psychomotricité, a scholarly society established to unite professionals and students in psychomotricity, aimed to raise awareness about this field and highlight its accessibility through the University of Sciences of Health (USS).
The event was part of a broader initiative to structure and develop psychomotricity in Gabon, emphasizing the need for enhanced training, practice guidance, and recognition of the discipline. Psychomotricienne Safi Bissagou Ndziengui, speaking at the event, emphasized the Society’s mission to bring together professionals and students in psychomotricity. She also highlighted the importance of the open day in sensitizing the public to a profession that remains relatively unknown, while also showcasing the discipline’s new accessibility at the USS.
The integration of psychomotricity into Gabon’s healthcare system reflects a commitment to modernizing mental health services and addressing the inclusion of people with disabilities. This move aligns with the country’s strategic themes of economic development, innovation, and Pan-African integration.
As Gabon continues to embrace psychomotricity, the country sets a precedent for holistic healthcare that could inspire other African nations.
