GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® in Physiotherapy – in Frankfurt

In our physiotherapy treatment, we integrate principles and exercises from GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® as a methodological component, depending on the goals and the patient's initial condition.

How we work

GYROTONIC® is a movement system based on specially designed equipment. GYROKINESIS® is a method derived from it that is practiced without equipment – for example, on a stool or a mat. Both utilize fluid, three-dimensional movements and a distinct movement rhythm.

The Method

The GYROTONIC® system was developed by former ballet dancer Juliu Horvath. A concept combining elements from various schools of movement emerged from his own background in movement.

Typical goals

Targeted improvement of mobility and function, building resilience for daily life, work, or sports, effectively addressing tension and movement restrictions – and helping to reduce impairments. Always individually tailored, always with a clear next step.

You’ve come to the right place if...

Back in motion

...you would like to move more freely and confidently again, but don't know where to start?
Together, we analyze your movement patterns and provide you with a clear, understandable path back to movement.

Clearly focused

You have already received treatment – but without active guidance for everyday life?
Active exercise guidance is standard practice for us. You don’t just leave having been “treated” – you go home with a clear next step.

Understanding what is happening

Are you looking for a calm, professional approach – without pressure and with clear explanations?
We take the time to review your findings, explain clearly what we are doing and why – and tailor everything individually to you.

Application in physiotherapy – what does that mean in concrete terms?

Train movement in three dimensions
GYROTONIC® principles make extensive use of arcs and spirals. This can help you perceive movement patterns with greater nuance and control them more precisely – especially when movement feels stuck or unsteady.

Work in a controlled manner that is gentle on the joints.
Depending on the exercise setting, movement can be guided and supported. This often makes it easier to get started, as you do not have to work against resistance but can instead gradually gain control and build resilience.

Exercise Integration (GYROKINESIS® without equipment)
When appropriate, we also incorporate GYROKINESIS® elements into home practice – without equipment, in a way that fits into daily life and remains realistically achievable.

Therapeutic applications

Back & Spinal discs

Intervertebral disc issues and back problems – improving movement quality and systematically building resilience.

Shoulder & Frozen Shoulder

Limited shoulder mobility – guided, three-dimensional movement as a path back to function and control.

Blockages & Tension

When movement gets stuck or feels stiff, fluid movement sequences help break up patterns and improve coordination.

Muscle Imbalances & Posture

Imbalances in strength and coordination – including issues related to posture and scoliosis.

Joints & Bones

Osteoarthritis, rheumatic diseases, and osteoporosis – working in a guided, joint-friendly manner where direct loading is not possible.

Pelvic floor & Rehabilitation

Pelvic floor issues in men and women, as well as meniscus and ligament injuries – active strengthening with clear guidance.
