Osteopathy is a primary healthcare profession with focus on diagnosis, treatment and management of musculoskeletal problems. Osteopaths use a holistic approach to the patients’ wellbeing, promoting health. Osteopaths use several techniques such as manipulation, articulation, soft tissue massage and others to increase mobility of the joints, release muscle tension and improve blood and nerve supply to the tissues.
The osteopath also provides advice on posture and physical exercise. Osteopathy diagnoses and treats a variety of musculoskeletal problems such as back and neck pain and other joint pain, chronic pain conditions and physical injury.
“I started GYROTONIC® due to a sports injury that was difficult to heal. No longer able to practice a lot of yoga, I looked for an alternative. I was pleasantly surprised by GYROTONIC® which provides an extraordinary range of movements and stretches but without the pain that I used to encounter on the mat due to my injury. Thu Anh is a gem! I always feel that she takes my development seriously and is ready to tailor and adapt her teaching, depending on how my body feels.”
“Working with Thu Anh has been inspirational; her skill and kindness in imparting the GYROTONIC® method has brought about both physical and behavioral benefits that at 52 I didn’t think were possible. It’s not an easy technique to instill but the benefits are huge; I stand taller, move with ease and enjoy the flexibility and poise that I didn’t have previously. There is definitely a mind body connection that brings a sense of quiet empowerment and strength.”
“Rob is great at finding just the right explanation or image to make the work come alive. I always enjoy my GYROTONIC® sessions with him. Each one brings a new discovery about how my body works, or rather, about how it could work so much better!”
“I was diagnosed with severe spondylolisthesis in my lumbar spine and I was told the solution would be a total lumbar spinal fusion and laminectomy. I was against invasive surgery and decided to find out alternatives. I have now been doing GYROTONIC® since early summer and I am delighted with the progress. I recently walked around the Tour of Mont Blanc with no problem!”
“GYROTONIC® has really improved my conditioning. Tisha from Kings Cross Studios has been helping me on that journey… I have had no problems in my hips and back; my flexibility has improved and many of the small niggles that plagued me before have been solved.”
“I have been attending GYROTONIC® at King’s Cross Studios for over a year and I love everything about it. The teachers and classes are great. GYROTONIC® is a wonderful exercise and helps keep my joints strong and mobile. I look forward to each lesson.”
