Gyrotonic methodology is one of the most modern training systems, which consists in modules of exercises based upon the concept of multi directional and spherical movement. It was invented at the beginning of the 80’s in the United States by Hungarian dancer Juliu Horvath. It asserts itself more and more all around the world as a very valid instrument to exhalt physical excellence in all sport disciplines.

Gyrotonic principles embrace key elements also found in yoga, dance, swimming and martial arts. It works systematically and softly on joints and muscles by means of undulating and rhythmical exercises in which no part of the body remains inactive: the enitire joint system, as well as the organs and tonic muscle structures, are involved. Thanks to Gyrotonic principles, athletes train themselves through spherical movements in space, which allows one to lengthen their body, and simultaneously develop it with minimal effort, obtaining a conscious and constant control of the movement. Through speed and endurance variations, one can create an actual simulation of sport activity. Every exercise is synchronized with a specific type of breathing pattern, which facilitates cardiovascular and aerobic rhythms (delicate or vigorous), according to the performance intensity and speed.

Gyrotonic movements focus special attention on increasing functional ability of the spinal column, which becomes much less vulnerable to injuries. Furthermore, it reduces the possibility of suffering from stress or micro-traumas, giving one’s physical constitution extraordinary flexibility and capabilities.

Thanks to an increasing attention by the international medical and scientific community, Gyrotonic methodology asserts itself all around the world as one of the best techniques of physical rehabilitation directed towards the functional recovery of professional athletes, dancers and the general public as a means for re-establishing structural and functional well-being.
Juliu Horvath’s specially designed equipment, made from wood, aluminum and handcrafted components, allows one to enjoy “continuous” freedom of movement in all possible directions that the human body is capable of.

PROJECT AT CENTRO DI PREPARAZIONE OLIMPICA

The idea of organizing the First International Gyrotonic Convention has the purpose of presenting Gyrotonic methodology at a national and international level. Not only as a method for Physical Exercise or Rehabilitative Therapy, but also as a World Organization, able to promote worldwide the method invented by Juliu Horvath, and to obtain Official Recognition by the Sport and Medical Scientific Community.
Gyrotonic methodology is today one of the most complete Organizations for the competence of Master Trainers authorized by Juliu Horvath, who can answer in an effective and complete way the large range of applications the system contains.
This methodology, which already gives excellent results in its different applications, must necessarily face a larger public and involve more specialized structures and personnel.
One of the instruments to reach this purpose is to organize Meetings, Seminars and Courses in prestigious structures where already recognized disciplines are practiced.
In this sense the Convention we are organizing will to be the first step of a Strategy that must be repeated in all countries and in different communities. Today we bring Gyrotonic methodology to the Sports Community and have chosen the most representative place in Italy, at Centro di Preparazione Olimpica Acquacetosa 'Giulio Onesti'. Our aim is that this event leads to the organization of similar Conventions around the world, as a way of presenting to the Sport and Medical world, a recognized rehabilitative structure and so on, adding deserved prestige to the inner value of Gyrotonic training.
The advantage the organization of these events will bring to Gyrotonic methodology as a whole means a sudden Visibility at National and International levels. The propulsive power of this meeting will bring as a result the affirmation of a Community growing, not only inside on the base of genial creativity of its inventor, but as an Organization that is able to expand worldwide in a self governing way.
