Ever wonder why you were in pain for no apparent reason, why recovering from an injury took longer than you expected, or why an injury on one leg leads to injury to the other? Well, when our bodies are in pain from everyday movement, an injury, joint pain, or any other kind of muscle pain its usually a byproduct of our bodies flexibility. While the typical problem is not stretching enough, there is also over stretching and doing the wrong kind of stretching.
If you search how to relieve pain or recover from an injury the usual answer is to rest the muscle or joint and stretch and strengthen. When trying to relieve your pain through usual stretching and strengthening it can be frustrating for how long it can take you. Through the standard muscle and joint strengthening and even physical therapy, it encompasses stretching beforehand, then strengthening, and stretching afterwards, but this can lead to re-injury or leaves you injury prone for the future.
Injuries and pain is the result of over muscle contraction. Injuries such as pulled muscles are because the muscles were overstretched when the muscle is not loose and still contracted. Aching pain stems from a muscle being strained (contracted) for an extended period of time. Trying to recover from normal stretching and strengthening can work but those exercises still makes your muscles contract and then loosens them and this method can take a long time.
GYROTONIC® is different from physical therapy and standard exercise because it relieves pain by utilizing Fluid Circular Motion. Most conventional exercise machines focus on linear and isolated movements which when used, strengthens the muscle through contraction and can lead to joint pain. The <GYROTONIC® Fluid Circular Motion focuses on multiple joint articulations without compression through circular motion. This increases mobility and stability in the spine, leading to a less injury prone proportioned body. A disproportionate body occurs when you injure a muscle or joint and the other muscles learn and overcompensates which can lead to injuries to other parts of your body. Contrary to keeping stretching and strengthening separate, the movement of Fluid Circular Motion allows you to stretch and strengthen at the same time. The machines allow your muscles to relax and keep from contracting, increasing flexibility while the continuous motion strengthens the muscles.
If you are tired of back, joint, muscle pain or trying to recover an injury try GYROTONIC® exercise. The combination of dance, gymnastics, swimming, yoga, and tai chi created the Fluid Circular Motion and allows for a different and better way for fitness, pain relief, and rehabilitation. The exercises will have you feeling better and keep you feeling good with increased flexibility, strength, and posture.
