Regaining Balance with the Gyrotonic Method of Movement

In 2003, Gloria had just retired from a long career of teaching and coaching university athletics when she fell from her roof, resulting in a spinal cord injury that left her partially paralyzed. After a few Gyrotonic exercise sessions, muscles in Gloria’s feet that had not functioned for a decade began to fire. As her sessions continued, small, sporadic flickers of contractions slowly evolved into consistent, strong, coordinated muscle functioning. Gradually, her previously atrophied calf muscles began to slowly regain tone and function.
