The fundamentals of the Gyrotonic Expansion System® consists of a
totally new exercise system, using GYROKINESIS®
as the basis to exercise the musculature while mobilizing
and articulating the joints.
The uniqueness of the System is that it
simultaneously stretches and strengthens the body
with
minimal effort, while increasing range of motion and
developing coordination.
The Gyrotonic Expansion System® was specially conceived
regarding key principles of gymnastics, swimming, ballet,
and yoga through which major muscle groups are worked
interdependently and in an integrated manner.
This "System" is served by a series of
specially designed exercise equipment, which is built around
the human body with all regards to total freedom in
movement, no restriction to speed and versatility, and
enhances rather than distracts from coordination, strength
and flexibility.
Unlike most conventional exercise machines where
linear or isolated movement patterns are performed creating
uncoordinated strength, the patented Gyrotonic Expansion
System® emphasizes multiple joint articulations without
compression, thus strengthening ligaments and each
attachment.
The motion patterns are natural, turbulence free and
pure with no interruption, creating a bridge between
contraction and extension through the rotating movement of
the joints, resulting in a balanced support system for the
skeleton.
The exercises are performed through spherical
awareness and circularity of movement, enabling the user to
perform under permanent guidance, variable controlled
resistance, and real sports simulation with no limitation to
speed and impact.
Through uniform and permanent resistance meaning
through all the changes of directions and as well within the
pivot axis, the concentric and eccentric forces exerted by
the involved muscle groups are maximized and evenly
distributed between agonist and antagonist (muscle groups).
Each exercise is synchronized with a corresponding
breathing pattern and is performed with either a rhythm or
melodic rhythmical expression, creating a gentle or vigorous
cardiovascular-aerobic stimulation, depending on the
intensity and speed of the execution.
Special attention is paid to increase the functional
capacity of the spine, resulting in a superior and
well-proportioned body, which is significantly less prone to
injuries. It also reduces long term accumulation of
micro trauma the physique obtains, and extraordinary
flexibility and essential strength, culminating in an
organic rejuvenation, increased vitality and vigor.
Also in contrast to exercises that are performed
under water, where it is very difficult to regulate the
exactness of the movement pattern and the correctness of the
position, the Gyrotonic®
exercises are performed with maximum adjustability to the
range of motion and controllability of the positioning.
(And the same pleasurable, healthy resistance like water.)
All sporting activities demand strength, flexibility,
coordination and range of motion. The Gyrotonic Expansion
System® provides tomorrow and today's athletes not only
with the entire above, but also with greater degree of
endurance, versatility and gracefulness to all performed
competitive skills and movements.
Aside from adults and professional sports people, it
has enormous educational value for young children who
benefit tremendously from the exercises at a time, when
their glandular development, combined with physical
consciousness, dexterity and coordination are at such a
vital stage of growth.
Currently, the Gyrotonic Expansion System® is used
worldwide with great success amongst the circle of dancers,
sports people, rehabilitation facilities, as well as general
conditioning amongst people of all walks of life, from
children to senior citizens.
The Gyrotonic Expansion System® equipment was
awarded a medal at the 7th International Invention
Convention in Pittsburgh, 1991.
