Gyrotonic
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® was intuitively designed by Romanian professional dancer, Juliu Horvath to help relieve the chronic pain he suffered from injuries. GYROTONIC® method is a combination of Dance, Yoga, Swimming, and Tai Chi producing the system’s unique three-dimensional approach and fluid movement. The method systematically teaches gentle and repetitive circling, spiraling and undulating exercises, which simultaneously stretch, strengthen and elongate muscles while decompressing joints. The methods' specific attention to breath also assists the body's regenerative capacity and opens energetic pathways, increasing blood flow, oxygenation and promoting neuromuscular rejuvenation. Each exercise emphasizes energetic opposition helping to improve internal balance and support. Through constant ebb-and-flow and push-and-pull of the exercises, the connective tissues are massaged increasing range of motion in the body.
“The nature of things are…to move. Life is movement…and an expression of existence is movement. When something doesn’t move anymore that’s an expression of death. With other words…something stagnating. Inside our bodies is the same situation. The more it moves the more expression of life. The less it moves the more expression is towards death.”

Pilates
Pilates is a method of exercise developed by German-born Joseph Pilates. In 1926, Joseph and Clara Pilates brought their exercise system, originally called “Contrology”, to New York City. The Pilates method is a physical movement program designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the body. Pilates exercise focuses on postural symmetry, breath control, abdominal strength, spine, pelvis and shoulder stabilization, muscular flexibility, joint mobility and strengthening through the complete range of motion of all joints. Instead of isolating muscle groups, the whole body is trained, integrating the upper and lower extremities with the trunk. Centripetal Force Studio uses Pilates to cultivate the awareness necessary for understanding the body’s messages. We teach and encourage a conscious choice to become aware, joining your mental connection to the core of your emotions, energy; spirit...it's a mind and body collaboration.
“Contrology develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.”
Joseph H. Pilates

Centripetal Force has big hopes and dreams to have an influence on healthcare insurance companies to support the emotional / energetic component to physical pain. In the near future we hope to see energetic bodywork, Pilates, GYROTONIC® method and health club memberships included on insurance plans. The more positive client testimonials we have, the more we can present in hopes of change. It’s a two way street between the client and the healthcare practitioner. We want to teach the client how to be responsible for his or her own body; to know how to listen to it, connect their emotional and physical body by explaining what they are
feeling inside. On the other hand, we need physicians to listen to their clients with empathy and prescribe more physical therapy or body movement, even psychology if needed. If the client complies with being healthy, learning about their body and doing exercises, then physicians will not have to overuse medication, injections and surgical procedures. The client has to listen to the practitioner as much as the practitioner needs to listen to the client, both having pride in their work and in themselves. When both have done this, everyone will benefit and the healthcare system will be more efficient.
