What is Brain Gym?
Brain Gym© is an exercise program comprising of 26 gentle and easy movements to either calm or stimulate the brain. The deliberately targeted movements support maximum brain function to enhance lifelong learning, physical coordination and productivity in an individual.
Developed by Dr Paul Dennison, Brain Gym incorporates a blend of Chiropractic’s, Movement Physiology, Kinesiology and Behavioural Optometry. Unlike other exercise programs, Brain Gym uses repetitive gross and fine motor movements that deliberately target different regions of the brain to support cognitive function, balance, memory and emotional wellbeing.

The movements are quick, easy and adaptable for all individuals of all abilities, from toddlers, primary and secondary school students, business teams, through to the elderly. The exercises are often used with individuals who have special needs; Stroke, Acquired Brain Injury, Autism, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s and wheelchair bound.
