Help for learning
difficulties (dyslexia, dyspraxia etc) at the Oxford Brain Gym, with one of
the leading UK Brain Gym Instructors and Consultants

Dr Buffy McClelland runs the
Oxford Brain Gym.
Brain Gym
®
is an
eclectic technique that can help improve performance through
simple coordinated movements. Brain Gym uses specific physical movements to help
people to be more effective and efficient. For many children and adults,
Brain Gym helps to improve learning difficulties
(helping minimise or even overcome aspects of dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention deficit, asperger's
syndrome and behavioural problems), it is often found to improve
confidence, memory, concentration, organization skills, body coordination,
eye-strain, chronic stress, phobias, and commonly enhances performance
in almost all areas of life. Click here for client
comments and case studies or here for current
research evidence of benefits gained by school children from using
Brain Gym in the classroom.
The Brain Gym ® technique
may work for anyone, adults and children, high achievers and those with
frustrations and difficulties alike. Everyone can always improve, and even
talented people can have blocks to learning. I believe that it is important
not to treat a client as though they are someone with a problem, so sessions
focus on the positive improvements that the client would like to achieve. I
am a licensed Brain Gym ® Consultant
and Instructor, working from my own
practice in Cowley, Oxford. Clients come from all over Oxfordshire, and from
Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire, Hampshire, Surrey,
London and even further afield. One client has even brought her son from
Plymouth to the Oxford Brain Gym, with excellent results!
Brain Gym for children
The Brain Gym
® technique is often used to help children to be much more successful at
school, to gain in confidence and self-esteem, and to minimise or even overcome
problems arising from dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention deficit, autistic
spectrum (particularly aspergers syndrome, but also other ASD issues) and behavioural
problems. Growing numbers of schools in the UK are using the basic Brain Gym
® exercises as a routine part of the day with positive benefits for learning
and concentration. Click here

details of how I work with children or here to
look at the current research on improvements in basic skills like reading.
Brain Gym for adults
More and more adults
are now discovering the amazing ability of sessions with a Brain Gym ®
consultant to improve their lives. Brain Gym can help you to be more organised,
to keep paperwork and tax records under control, to boost sports and musical
performance, to minimise or even overcome problems arising from dyslexia or
dyspraxia, to overcome phobias, to improve memory concentration and
co-ordination, to reduce stress and be more positive. Brain Gym
can help you pass exams more easily, it is very valuable for college and
university students to help them deal with complex new course material and
to learn effectively for exams, and can help you pass the driving test, with
its combination of theory and practical tests. The Brain Gym technique can allow you to move on beyond
old negative habits and beliefs, whether they be emotional, physical or
thought patterns, and to help you to take control of your life in a positive and creative
way. Click here for more details.
