About Brain Gym® Brain Gym® is a program of physical activities that enhance learning ability. Brain Gym® includes 26 easy and enjoyable targeted activities that bring about rapid and often dramatic improvements in concentration, memory, reading, writing, organizing, listening, physical coordination, and more. Brain Gym® develops the brain's neural pathways the way nature does: through movement. Educational Kinesiology – enhanced learning through movement – was created by Dr. Paul E. Dennison and Gail E. Dennison through their extensive research in areas that include education, brain function, psychology, and applied kinesiology. The Dennisons' visionary insight into the learning process led them to develop the unique approaches to education now known as Edu-K and Brain Gym - tools used to integrate the mind and body through movement. Based on his understanding of the interdependence of physical development, language acquisition, and academic achievement, Paul Dennison early on devised simple yet powerful activities to enhance learning. Today these techniques, which Paul continues to develop in partnership with his wife Gail, are taught in a variety of settings, including schools, corporations, and athletic training programs. The Dennisons' contributions to the field of educational science are far-reaching, and have served to transform the lives of learners around the world. Used Worldwide Brain Gym® has been taught worldwide in thousands of public and private schools. It has been shown to be effective in published studies, and it is being incorporated into a growing number of corporate, institutional, and athletic training programs.
