ABOUT NEUROMOVEMENT®
NeuroMovement® was created in the 1980s by Anat Baniel, and is based on the principle that new neural connections can be created through movement.
The brain’s ability to create these new connections is a process called “neuroplasticity”. This happens anytime we think about something in a new way, experience a new emotion, or move our bodies in a new way.
NeuroMovement® explores the relationship between the brain, the bones and the muscles, and helps the brain identify how it can use different parts of the body to create more fluid, pain-free movement.
In addition to the numerous physical benefits, you will experience improvements in your daily life such as better sleep, improved memory, clearer thinking and a feeling of calmness.
The gentleness of this method means that NeuroMovement® therapy is accessible to everyone, including people who suffer from chronic pain, stroke and brain injury survivors, children with special needs such as cerebral palsy and autism, and people experiencing age-related balance and movement challenges.

"The approach here, far wiser, far more subtle, truly holistic, far more ingenious, far more in accord with how brain development occurs, shows ways to access the child’s own brain plasticity and yields far greater results, so that the children can spontaneously grow from within."
Norman Doidge, MD, author of The Brain That Changes Itself and The Brain's Way of Healing.
