There are actual programs using body movements to improve learning and healing. I have mentioned in previous posts the value to me a dyslexic that I felt came to me from song and dance, including piano, choir, folk dancing, Capoeira, TakeTANi.
There is an association setup for “Healing through Movement” its called the American Dance Therapy Association. The benefits of dance/movement therapy (DMT) as a psychotherapeutic intervention are well-established. The American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA), founded in 1966, is a professional organization dedicated to the profession of dance/movement therapy. Dance/movement therapy uses movement to “further the emotional, cognitive, physical and social integration of the individual.”
Penny Bryson has a one-of-a kind Reading in Rhythm program. 
“Learning by the beat” as she say, instructs full-time Therapy Beat clinic students in her program. Bryson’s research indicates that specific physical movements create new pathways in the brain, pathways missing in children with dyslexia.
Another successful progam is “Turning Teaching into Learning” through a Physio-Neuro-Therapy (PNT) created by LearningTechnics.com . This is a new 
effective way to eliminate learning difficulties!
