Spaulding-Brighton has recently augmented the clinic with the addition of a GYROTONIC® Pulley Tower and Jump and Stretch Board. These two extraordinary pieces of equipment are part of the increasingly popular GYROTONIC Expansion System, which is now found in rehabilitation centers, private physical therapy clinics, dance studios and fitness centers all over the world. Originating in the world of dance, this movement method improves strength, flexibility endurance, co-ordination and gracefulness for activities of daily living, skilled movements and competitive sports.

Physical therapists, certified as GYROTONIC trainers, incorporate elements of GYROTONIC exercise within your treatment program to improve range of motion of the spine and peripheral joints. The exercise choreography on the GYROTONIC Pulley Tower emphasizes spiral motion to restore full range of combined motions of the spine and proximal joints. Through repetitive mindful movements, the body is gently able to regain range and freedom of movement often long since lost to the demands of our modern sedentary lifestyle.

The GYROTONIC Expansion System retrains the body-mind connection (neuromuscular control), and co-ordinated movement of the spine/trunk, pelvis and shoulder girdle to enable the body to learn more efficient movement patterns for activities of daily life and sports performance. A sophisticated system of pulleys, weights and choreography assists the individual to strengthen these re-learned movement patterns through eccentric and concentric loading.

As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, GYROTONIC exercise will enable you to achieve your therapeutic goals and then some!
