 Gyrotonic
techniques address the same principles and goals in attaining fitness
and flexibility, strength and tone, correcting muscle imbalance
and improving breathing patterns leading to an improved sense of
well being.
The adaptability and safety of Gyrotonic equipment will apply to all levels of physical fitness, to all ages and to those of the following groups.
General Fitness & Toning
This technique is ideal for anyone striving for balanced sleek muscle tone, cardiovascular fitness, and increased vitality.
Desk Based Occupations
Modern reliance on computers requires us to remain seated for long periods, often contributing to poor posture, lower back pain and repetitive strain injuries. The Gyrotonic exercise method will encourage better postural awareness and release tension throughout the body.
Pregnancy
The Gyrotonic Expansion System is an ideal exercise during and after pregnancy as it will relieve lower back pain and constipation, while energizing the body to combat fatigue. It also strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, help prevent swollen legs and varicose veins, concentrate on body alignment and improve posture. As well as building strength and stamina for the birthing process, the exercises will increase blood circulation and oxygen to the womb. The program is adapted accordingly during each stage of pregnancy. After the birth, safe, gentle exercises recover body shape and tone.
Senior Citizens
The Gyrotonic Expansion System provides wonderful exercise for older clients as they are especially effective at relieving back pain, joint stiffness, arthritis and tension throughout the body. The client can work out in a quiet and calming environment and leave the studio feeling relaxed and energized
Clients Recovering from Injury or Surgery
This gentle postural
rehabilitation program is often recommended by doctors, osteopaths
and physiotherapists to rebuild muscle and strength after surgery
or after years of injury or strain. The non-weight bearing exercises
are tailored to accommodate the injured area with the correct amount
of resistance to provide both stimulation and support. Individual
training with specific hands-on support ensures that the client
is always exercising safely. |

 If
you are suffering from an acute problem, we recommend that you see
your doctor or physiotherapist prior to attending the studio. We
then would be happy to work with your specialist in addressing the
underlying cause.
Athletes and Dancers in Training
The Gyrotonic method has been, for many years, been used by dancers, and now athletes (even football players) around the world incorporate these techniques into their training regime. They are ideal for developing a steely inner core, and for enhancing performance by developing stamina, co-ordination and strength. Particular attention can be paid to re-balancing symmetry in the body upset by repetitive movement patterns and overuse injuries. The entire musculature becomes evenly balanced and conditioned, and so is less prone to injury.
People suffering general Health Problems
Regular practice
of the Gyrotonic technique can help alleviate conditions such as
asthma, tension headaches, depression, seasonal affective disorders,
ME and everyday stress. This system promotes healthy cardiovascular,
respiratory and digestive systems, and high blood pressure can be
reduced by regular controlled exercise. |
