GYROTONIC® is a unique exercise method that 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 a natural three-dimensional body movement.
The handcrafted equipment allows total freedom of movement and can be adjusted to suit anybody's weight, strength, and fitness level.
This exercise system stretches, strengthens, and elongates muscles without joint compression.
How does it work?
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 principles of yoga, gymnastics, ballet, swimming, and tai-chi.
Internally, GYROTONIC® exercises stimulate organs through the movement of the diaphragm (through breathing exercises) and rhythmic spinal movement in all possible directions. Each movement is accompanied by a specific breathing pattern that enhances circulation, oxygenates the blood, 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.
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 and those recovering from injuries or chronic illnesses. This system is ideal for men, women, children, seniors, athletes, dancers, and anyone seeking health, equilibrium, fitness, stamina, strength, and flexibility.
GYROTONIC® is suitable for people of all age groups and fitness levels.

Can GYROTONIC® be used during my physical therapy session?
Yes, it can. In our office, we regularly incorporate GYROTONIC® into physical therapy sessions. We use GYROTONIC® to treat various surgical and 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, the desired range of motion, speed, and rhythm are all important elements during a physical therapy session. GYROTONIC allows users to adjust these features entirely. That is why we use GYROTONIC® even to treat patients with acute conditions and after surgery. Our therapists are certified and trained in GYROTONIC® and incorporate this system into physical therapy sessions.
