GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM offers a unique system of exercises that embrace key principles also found in yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai chi.  Developed by former Romanian ballet dancer, Juliu Horvath, GYROTONIC has been popular with dancers and athletes but also known to aid in injury prevention and healing for people of all ages.  Juliu Horvath discovered the principles that form the foundation for this novel approach to maintaining health and well-being after many years of study, as he not only tried and succeeded in repairing the bodily injuries that he sustained as a professional dancer using these new methodologies, but he also sought to create a system of exercises that anyone could perform, regardless of age or state of health.

"This system is revolutionary and sets a new model for exercise rehabilitation in the health industry," said Daniel S. Smith, D.C. Chiropractor, Alama, CA.

GYROTONIC is a full blown stretching and toning system that combines elements of yoga, the biomechanical priciples of ballet and some of the ideas of physical therapy with the buoyant flow of swimming. It benefits people with disabilities or injuries, or anyone intent on fine-tuning the body.

Exercises are performed on the Professional Pulley Tower, and the system is fully adjustable to meet the needs of many people with varying body types and levels of strength. Its methodology allows users to stretch and strengthen muscles, while simultaneously stimulating and strengthening connective tissues in and around the joints of the body. These exercises are synchronized with corresponding breathing patterns, thus enhancing aerobic and cardiovascular stimulation and promoting neuro-muscular rejuvenation.

Benefits

Used for rehabilitation purposes and general fitness, daily users of GYROTONIC are motivated by desires to:

• Lose weight
• Increase flexibility by elongating muscles and opening joints
• Gain cardiovascular endurance
• Try an alternative to unsuccessful physical therapy/rehabilitation
• Prevent injuries
• Decrease allergies/improve asthma

Rehabilitation

GYROTONIC is a non-medical piece of equipment used for rehabilitation purposes.  The patient is treated more holistically, in that the healing capacity of the entire body is increased and can thus function more optimally. By using an approach that is all-inclusive, the patient, with the aid of the GYROTONIC Trainer, can begin to treat the ailing part or parts that now have the support of the whole body, as opposed to using an approach that addresses the part only.  Conditions GYROTONIC exercises helps to alleviate are:

• Knee/Hip arthritis and pain
• Spinal problems
• Foot/hand injuries
• Shoulder/rotator cuff injuries
• Neck/back pain
• Meniscus repairs
• Fibromyalgia

Sports

Athletics play a large part in the lives of many people in the world today. Millions of athletes play sports professionally or for personal enrichment, and through practice and preparation, they can optimize their performances. Athletes perform a variety of tasks in many possible physical planes of movement, depending on the sport that they are playing. Many people participating in athletic activities are now benefiting by incorporating GYROTONIC exercises into their training and preparing their bodies for these physical, sports-related tasks. They can move and stretch in all possible directions by using these systems, thereby helping them to create bodies that move more freely and muscles that are strong yet supple. These qualities allow athletes who use GYROTONIC exercises to move with more fluidity and power, which in turn will help them perform better in the athletic activities in which they are involved. Many athletes report increased stamina and endurance also by regularly performing GYROTONIC exercises.

Performing Arts

Juliu Horvath danced professionally and has many associates in the dance world, thus as a result many dancers in New York City were first exposed to his work. But today, not only dancers, but singers, musicians and actors are also benefiting by incorporating GYROTONIC exercises into their lives. Performing is expressing, and those performers who are more physically and mentally flexible and balanced are the ones who can have the greatest impact.

Those people that have incorporated GYROTONIC methodologies into their lives, for whatever reason, have discovered something very valuable for enhancing and enjoying what they do. Children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens alike are now benefiting by using these exercise modalities, gaining strength and flexibility in the process. They feel better on a daily basis as a result.
