APPLICATIONS  General Fitness GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS methodologies are used worldwide by people of all ages. Many dancers first discovered the benefits derived from using these exercise systems, but now people from all walks of life are implementing these systems into their daily lives. Because GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises are “user friendly”, people with different body types and physical abilities are able to enjoy these benefits also, and many owners of gyms and fitness clubs are now offering GYROTONIC lessons and GYROKINESIS classes to clients. And in many homes around the world, people are adding GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS methodologies to their daily workout programs, motivated by desires to lose weight, increase flexibility and gain cardiovascular endurance, among others.   Rehabilitation Working in both clinics and hospitals worldwide, many Physical Therapists and health practitioners are teaching clients how to perform GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises to help facilitate the healing processes of these clients. While participating in the GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS educational programs and teacher trainings, these health practicioners learn a more holistic and universal approach to treating patients with a variety of health challenges. Physical Therapists are traditionally taught, in general, that if there is a problem with a specific body part, then they must focus on and attempt to “fix” that body part. In GYROTONIC rehabilitation settings, the GYROTONIC Trainer views an injured body part as only one of possibly many focal points on the body when attempting to apply corrective movements and exercises. The patient is treated more holistically, in that the healing capacity of the entire body is increased and can thus function more optimally. By using an approach that is all-inclusive, the patient, with the aid of the GYROTONIC Trainer, can begin to treat the ailing part or parts that now have the support of the whole body, as opposed to using an approach that addresses the part only.   Sports Athletics play a large part in the lives of many people in world today.
