What is Gyrotonic®?
The fundamentals of Gyrotonics are based on a system of exercises for the musculature whilst mobilizing and articulating the joints. The uniqueness of the System is that it stretches and strengthens at the same time with minimal effort, while increasing the range of motion and developing co-ordination. This is performed on a series of specially designed exercise equipment, which was built to allow freedom of movement and enhance co-ordination, strength and flexibility.
