Movement

1
Movement

• Movement is a motion or a change in position.
  Movement activates different areas of the brain
  and body, thus increasing the retrieval of
  information later on. Movement assists in the
  development of neuro-pathways, thereby changing
  the way the brain pattern is set. Used
  throughout the day, movement extends concepts and
  skills taught and has the ability to reset
  emotions. More movement creates more connections
  for the brain and improves long-term memory. The
  brain has infinite power to change through
  movement because of the brains plasticity.
