Posture and movement
reorganize brain function to enhance learning ability.
"Muscular activities, particularly coordinated movements, appear to stimulate the production of neurotrophins, natural substances that stimulate the growth of nerve cells and increase the number of neural connections in the brain."

Hannaford, Ph.D.
Brain UpgradeTM is a physiologically based program that enhances learning ability. Because
it is physiological, it works regardless
of social background or belief system and in many cases even willingness.
From our perspective, learning problems are movement
deficit problems. When appropriate movement is applied, learning ability increases. Brain Upgrade exercises link specific learning goals to specifically targeted movement sequences.
Brain Upgrade is based on Specialized Kinesiology, developmental movements, pioneering work of Drs.
Carla Hannaford, Elaine deBeauport, and Paul Dennison (creator of
Brain Gym¨) and original research by Paula Oleska. Many of its techniques
have been tested by schools in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Switzerland,
Russia, Poland, Denmark, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
Some of the learning goals that can be achieved
include:
* concentration, * memory, * organization, *
verbal skills, * reading skillls, * emotional control, * impulse
control, * physical coordination, * and more.
