Steven Solomon racing in the Olympics

Olympic runner Steven Solomon discovered the Gyrotonic Method through Master Trainer Erika Parisi in Sydney, Australia. Steven discovered Gyrotonic after years of having spinal and other compression issues - and decided to train with a completely new methodology in order to help. Erika started working with him 2 years before the next Olympics - and used a variety of techniques along with lots of work on the Jumping Stretching Board.
