In this episode of Healing Our Sight, Denise speaks with Paul and Gail Dennison, pioneers of Brain Gym and movement-based learning, about how vision develops through movement—not just through the eyes, but through the whole body.

They explore how visual skills, balance, proprioception, and movement work together to support learning, reading, and visual comfort for both children and adults. Paul and Gail share practical insights into visual midline, peripheral vision, depth perception, and why modern habits—like prolonged near work and screen use—can create unnecessary visual stress.

This conversation offers parents, educators, and anyone interested in vision development a fresh perspective on how simple movement, outdoor play, and body awareness can support healthier vision and learning—naturally.
