What is Brain Gym®?

Brain Gym® is the registered name given to the sensory motor movement program of Educational Kinesiology. It is a gentle and energizing program which includes movement to switch on and coordinate the brain and body for greater productivity and learning. Brain Gym promotes efficient communication among the many nerve cells and functional centers located throughout the brain and body.

The exciting thing about Brain Gym is that it shows results in a short period of time, in most cases immediately.

One of Brain Gym’s strongest features is that it is not just for those people who have learning difficulties. Its benefits have been apparent to those who have never seen themselves as having learning problems. It allows the person not only to relax and improve their performance and skills but also believe in themselves and their ability to learn.

Use of Brain Gym in Schools and Educational Institutions

Brain Gym has been taught in schools worldwide, and is used in corporate, business, institutional, and athletic programs. Brain Gym is currently used in over 100 countries and has been translated into over 40 languages.

Clinical experience, field studies and published research reports have shown that Brain Gym prepares the brain and the nervous system for optimal performance in the intellectual, sporting, creative and personal areas at every stage of life.

What does Brain Gym Do?

• Activates your brain and body for optimal functioning and learning
• Releases stress and anxiety from your system
• Builds confidence and self esteem
• Increases vitality and energy
• Improves memory, communication, organisation, academic and study skills, and performance
• Helps develop mind/body awareness so you can recognize the physical, emotional and mental signs that you are switching off and getting stressed.

How Does Brain Gym work?

Movement is needed to stimulate learning and thinking. When we move, we activate and switch on areas in the same parts of the brain that are used for learning and thinking. Brain Gym specifically switches on the different parts of the brain used in learning.
