GYROTONIC® Exercise
Kelly's GYROTONIC® Exercise
I combine GYROTONIC® exercise and physical therapy techniques to provide clients with a program that will heal current injuries, balance the body and prevent future injuries. I evaluate your health history, current health and fitness level, previous or current injuries, movement patterns, posture and more to design an appropriate program that will meet your goals.
Gyrotonic exercise simulates the natural movements of the body while using resistance to challenge the body. I use gyrotonic exercise to teach you how to move from the core. Gyrotonic's three-dimensional motions help to reeducate the body in how to move efficiently and correctly in daily life.
I often combine Pilates, Gyrotonic Exercise and Yoga in many of my treatment and movement programs. Gyrotonic exercise is a great addition to or extension of pilates, yoga and exercise programs.
What is GYROTONIC® exercise?
GYROTONIC® exercise is a unique exercise system that simultaneously stretches and strengthens the body with minimal effort, while increasing range of motion and developing coordination.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® incorporates the fundamentals of gymnastics, swimming, ballet and yoga in which major muscles groups are worked interdependently and in an integrated manner. The system uses specially designed exercise equipment which allows total freedom in movement, no restriction to speed and versatility, and enhances rather than distracts from coordination, strength and flexibility. The motion patterns are natural, turbulence free and pure with no interruptions, resulting in a balanced support system for the skeleton.
GYROTONIC® exercises are three-dimensional meaning they are performed through spherical awareness and circularity of movement. Each exercise is synchronized with a corresponding breathing pattern and is performed with either a rhythm or melodic rhythmical expression. This creates a gentle or vigorous cardiovascular-aerobic stimulation, depending on the intensity and speed of execution.
