GYROTONIC

GYROTONIC® is a new, unique exercise method which takes a holistic approach to fitness and health, focusing on the whole being.

Unlike other exercise machines, where the body is limited to linear motions, GYROTONIC allows and promotes natural three-dimensional movements of the body. The handcrafted equipment allows total freedom of movement and can be adjusted to suit anybody's weight, strength and level of fitness.

This exercise system simultaneously stretches, strengthens, and elongates muscles without joint compression, while increasing flexibility and developing coordination and control. GYROTONIC releases tension held in the muscles and gently eases stress. This methodology works systematically, gently and fluidly with joints, spine and muscles. It incorporates key principles of yoga, gymnastics, ballet, swimming, and tai-chi.  

Internally, GYROTONIC exercises stimulate organs through movement of the diaphragm (through breathing exercises) and rhythmic spinal movement in all possible directions. Each movement is accompanied with a specific breathing pattern which enhances circulation of blood and oxygen, improves cardiovascular strength, and increases metabolism. The breathing patterns are synchronized with the movements to increase aerobic stimulation and promote neuromuscular rejuvenation. GYROTONIC develops a better awareness of breathing habits, which clears toxins and revitalizes all the major systems in the body.

Read More The circular and spiral movements of GYROTONIC imitate our internal and external energy pathways, which results in energizing body systems, and stimulating and strengthening the meridian flow. This helps to develop a powerful strength from within and an improved sense of well-being. GYROTONIC is suitable for people of all age groups and fitness levels, as well as those recovering from injuries or suffering from chronic illnesses. This system is ideal for men, women, children, seniors, athletes, dancers, and anybody who is seeking health, equilibrium, fitness, stamina, strength, and flexibility.

Can GYROTONIC be used during my physical therapy session?

Yes, it can. In our office we incorporate GYROTONIC in the physical therapy sessions on a regular basis. We use GYROTONIC for treating a variety of surgical as well as non-surgical physical conditions, such as rotator cuff repair, total knee/ hip replacement, scoliosis, cervical and neck pain, shoulder pain, bursitis, balance and coordination problems, and more.

Unlike other exercise machines in physical therapy offices, GYROTONIC promotes fully functional physical performance. In other words, the body will be trained in its natural and physiological way, a three-dimensional way. 

Resistance, desired range of motion, speed and rhythm are all elements of great importance during a physical therapy session. GYROTONIC allows the users to adjust these elements fully. That is why we use GYROTONIC even for treating patients with very acute conditions and after surgery. Our therapists are certified and trained in GYROTONIC and incorporate this system in physical therapy sessions.    

Is GYROTONIC covered by my health insurance plan?

Our office is contracted by most health insurance companies. We will send the claims to your health insurance company. If we accept your health plan, and based on your coverage, benefits, and eligibilities, your sessions most probably are covered. For your convenience and prior to your sessions, we will contact your health insurance company and verify your eligibilities.
