We regularly hear about developments in medical and neurological science highlighting the benefits of a healthy diet and exercise on children's behaviour, performance at school and learning difficulties. The use of Fish Oil supplements and the removal of many artificial additives, preservatives and colourings from food (E numbers) products are the most commonly heard of.
The brain mainly consists of fatty tissue and it is the Omega 3 Fatty acids found in Fish Oil which strengthens brain and cognitive functions by improving blood flow and the ability of brain cells to communicate with each other.
We learn best when our brain is functioning at it's maximum efficiency delivering messages and instructions to the rest of the body via neural pathways and the nervous system. Problems occur when those neural pathways connected to the learning centers of the brain are underdeveloped perhaps due to some trauma during birth or a genetic predisposition.
Movement and Cognitive Skills training works to fill those gaps in neurological development through the use of a targeted exercise and sensory stimulation programme individually designed to meet the needs of that particular client.
