I found GYROTONIC exercise based upon the recommendation of my chiropractor who essentially said “go see this guy” because I was still experiencing muscle pain despite adequate adjustments. “This guy” was Rich O’Connor who is an inspiring and positive teacher. Through private lessons and group classes, I have become a believer in Gyrotonic as a way to strengthen and move your body in a healthy way.
Gyrotonic has reduced my chronic neck and back pain through full body exercises that are gentle yet strengthening at the same time. I am now more aware of my posture and how to correct it during daily activities.
Rich excels in his knowledge of body movement and techniques to reduce the problems created by our modern society of too much sitting and technology use. Rich and his fellow instructors provide a welcoming environment and have never made me feel silly for forgetting the moves or having difficulty learning a new exercise. And above all, I genuinely enjoy my experience every time.
Within a few classes, my pain slowly diminished. I was have multiple subluxations per week. My joint strength improved, and my subluxations are minimal or non-existent. I think gyrotonic/gyrokinesis helps people with hypermobility. It strengthens joints and muscle at a core level. I also think it helps pain by ” nerve flossing.” It has also helped with myofascial pain by releasing fascia.
These classes have been life-changing for me; my backaches have reduced since my core strength has improved. These exercises are very beneficial and enjoyable. My chiropractor says “whatever you’re doing, keep doing it!”
