Benefits of GYROTONIC® & GYROKINESIS® methods
Both methods focus on core stability and spinal flexibility and are effective in improving balance, flexibility, strength, and posture.
A characteristic element of the methods is the unique spiral movements (Spiral Movements). Spiral movements around the body axis in different planes and combinations promote the balancing of imbalances and flexibility of the whole body.
GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC® movements stimulate the flow of energy throughout the body, stimulate the nervous system, and help improve physical function. In addition, they focus not only on movement but also on awareness and consciousness, incorporating elements such as breathing exercises.
It helps athletes improve performance, prevent injuries, and recover more quickly and fully from injuries. It is used by clients of all ages to keep the body and mind healthy and balanced.
Differences between GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® methods:
The main difference is that at GYROTONIC® you can exercise on specially made equipment. The equipment supports the precise use of the body. Legs, arms, and torso work together with the resistances and weights of the equipment's pulleys instead of against them. This allows the joints, to move in their natural range of motion without compression, thus maximizing the benefits of the workout. Gyrotonic equipment training can be done in both personal and small-group training.
GYROINESIS® is a sensory, but at the same time strengthening and stretching workout that does not use equipment, but only somebody, sitting on the chair and on the mat, lying and standing.
Improvement of the following points:
1. Body posture
Strengthens the muscles and flexibility that are important for maintaining correct posture. Correct posture reduces strain on the body and contributes to an economical and attractive posture.
2. Spinal mobility
For people with limited spinal mobility, tension, or blockages, as well as for people with lower back pain or scoliosis. Also for people who suffer from stiff shoulders.
3. Joint-friendly strength training
The focus is on strengthening, harmonizing, and coordinating muscles, tendons, fascia, and connective tissue (intramuscular coordination), taking into account the connections throughout the body. Improved intramuscular balance reduces the risk of injury.
4. Flexibility
The characteristic elements of the method—bending, stretching forward, backward, and to the side, as well as spiral movements—expand the body's natural range of motion, thereby increasing the range of motion of muscles, joints, and other structures and improving the body's flexibility.
5. Core stability
Strengthens the core muscles (muscles around the abdomen, back, and pelvis). Core strength plays an important role in balance, posture, and stability, and influences daily life and athletic performance.
6. Stress reduction
Includes movements combined with breathing exercises. It helps to relieve tension in the mind and body and reduce stress.
7. Body awareness
Increases awareness of your own bodily sensations and movements. This helps you to understand your own body better and maintain correct movement and posture in everyday life.
8. Recovery
Gyrotonic helps restore function after injury or surgery, either alongside physical therapy or as a follow-up. Some clients come to us on their doctor's recommendation. For more details, please read the testimonials below.
