We all have the potential to be incredible learners.The brain is capable of doing what we have not even considered to be possible!
Scientists are realizing more and more the brain’s remarkable capacity to change for the better.
Under the right conditions, the brain can get better and stronger, and do so throughout life.
Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® wakes up the brain to create new connections and new patterns that dramatically improve physical, cognitive, and emotional performance.
Thousands of people from all over the world have already experienced this firsthand:
- children with special needs, from a few days old to teenagers
- children and adults who have suffered strokes and other brain trauma
- athletes, musicians, and other high performers
- people suffering from back, neck, and joint pain
- people with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other chronic diseases
- people who want to live life more fully with greater vitality and joy
How We Can Help You
Your Brain Is Made for Change
Our brains are always changing in response to our every experience. This is called neuroplasticity. These changes can be positive—leading us to greater well-being and a more vibrant life. Or the changes can be negative (back, neck, and joint pain or limitation, and the deterioration after trauma or as people age).
Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement®—developed by Anat Baniel—is a groundbreaking, systematic, and highly effective way to communicate with the brain and take advantage of its natural ability to make positive, immediate, and powerful changes.
NeuroMovement utilizes neuroplasticity exercises that can be used at any age to rewire your brain to overcome pain and reach higher levels of physical, emotional, and cognitive performance.
This Method taps into neuroplasticity through movement and the Nine Essentials which Anat defined. Supported by neuroscience research, these principles provide the conditions that the brain requires to bring life-changing results to children and adults.

“Anat applies the exact same principles when helping people overcome limitation that I used to recover my brain and body from stroke.”
“She understands that for any meaningful change to happen in the way we think, move, and use our body, the change has to happen in the brain.”
~Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD, World Renowned Author of My Stroke of Insight, Ted Talk Presenter, and International Public Speaker

Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement®
“Scientists have defined the ‘rules’ governing brain plasticity. Anat Baniel, working in parallel along a completely different path, has defined almost exactly the same rules and interprets them in practical and understandable human terms as the Nine Essentials.
These powerful, practical strategies for improving your abilities and building a better, stronger brain, should also contribute richly to your own, more enlightened parenting, grandparenting, or clinical intervention.”
~Dr. Michael Merzenich, PhD, Professor Emeritus UCSF, “Father” of brain plasticity science, Winner of the 2016 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience, and Author of Soft-Wired

“I’ve been in bed for three-and-a-half years, and I started windsurfing again this year, religiously…and it’s easier and I go faster every time I do less; so I beat the boys on the water.”
Joel
