Hand massage improves reading age by four years

Pupils have improved their reading ages by as much as four years - thanks to a ground-breaking project which involved marching and HAND MASSAGES before class. The 11 and 12-year-olds took part in the 12-week-long Movement Programme which saw them undertake a low impact 25 minute exercise session every morning. They were asked to learn and perform carefully constructed and controlled, individual moves from online videos including marching, hand massages, eye strengthening and 'mini-moves'. And, thanks to the innovative scheme, the year seven students at Henbury School, Bristol, have seen their grades increase dramatically. http://swns.com/news/pupils-hand-massages-classes-improve-reading-37016/
