How do German physical therapists see Chan Rou exercise? What are the advantages?

Paul Horvath is a physiotherapist and the brother of Juliu, the inventor of GYROTONIC® &GYROKINESIS®. He is not only a physiotherapist, but also a gymnast and gymnastics coach.


He works in a rehabilitation clinic called Rheintal Clinic in Germany. As a physical therapist, he introduced GYROTONIC® as the main rehabilitation treatment method of the clinic.


Many people ask why this set of exercises can be used as the main rehabilitation treatment.


Paul said that it is difficult to explain, because it is not a set of theory, but a set of operating modes that can only be understood after actual operations. Many doctors and I have attended GYROTONIC® teacher training courses. personally experienced GYROTONIC® and found that it brings us not only muscle training, but also the connection between muscles and the body.


The body part is not just the performance of biomechanics ; it is also energetic and can predict what happens inside the body. What happens inside is reflected in the body. The physical body parts represent many directions, such as biomechanics and energy correct movement,By not stopping the energy flow, but moving the energy and releasing different parts. In this way, the outside is reflected inside. In addition, when you stimulate the outside, you also have very active activities inside. The best stimulation to the body is connective tissue . When you stimulate connective tissue, you build every piece of tissue and then affect the entire tissue.


Connective tissue or fascia is very important. This is like osteopathy, craniocerebral treatment and other manual work, they use continuous and slow tension to manipulate the mobility of connective tissues and organs. We use the same principle, slow and continuous exercise tension in our GYROTONIC® movement, contrast stability and tension arc to stimulate the body and internal organs function . This is equivalent to mobility. Organic mobility equals motivation. You have constructed a complete arm, leg, and spine axis, using two basic directions forward and backward to affect the whole, which brings about the harmony of energy and physiological principles.

It is actually more complicated and multi-faceted, but this is a simple and basic explanation. Therefore, in the GYROTONIC® action principle, it has a very complicated three-dimensional thinking, divided into different segments, slow motion, and different strength and tension. In physical therapy, you have these principles to stimulate the joints in motion without compressing the joints. The principles of Scooping and Reaching in GYROTONIC® movement and the creation of freedom of movement are the same.


This is an overall movement system.We call it a "smart" exercise, but the real wisdom comes from seeing the difference between movement and movement, and being able to have an overall picture.


Generally speaking, people understand integrity. The whole is global. Does this movement have a positive effect on the entire cell system, including internal organs and glands? In all directions, does everything have a positive impact, rather than a destructive impact? The most basic principle in medicine is not to have destructive effects. this is very important. This is one way to explain the GYROTONIC® movement: it is constructive, not destructive. This is the ancient Hippocratic principle in medicine.


Another way to explain is through comparison. What do you do when you ride a bicycle or run? If you just move without consciousness, it is primitive. Rotational exercises help in preparation and teaching; what you learn, you open the joints, you bring flexibility to the muscular system, not only to establish complete coordination and strength for the movement, but also for all activities in life. Riding a bicycle is my best example. The position of the body on the bicycle closes all muscle tissue, internal organs, etc.


Cycling may stimulate our heart and lungs, but many people suffer from lumbar problems, hip pain, knee problems, and shoulder problems. For stimulating the heart and lungs, cycling may be good for one thing, but it is bad for muscles and joints. Rotational movement is based on the overall balance to stimulate everything, without destroying anything.


What if I say that this sport is good for every disease in the human body?Each kind of deviation is basically a cell dysfunction. The biggest problem is that the spine is related to sitting, standing, gravity, and collapse. When you push or compress the spine (intervertebral disc) under heavy load or injury, you need to release, stimulate, push and pull, which can slow down the compression. For example, using GYROTONIC® Hamstring (back thigh muscle group) series, you can have this kind of push and pull effect in the spine. If you can control this series of movements steadily and be pulled and pushed with the help of weight during exercise, it will become the best nutrition for the regeneration of your intervertebral disc . Every cell unit, every organ, and every system needs such a way to arrange these basic relaxation tensions and releases intelligently and organizedly. When you do it step by step, you can effectively comfort yourself. Body and mind. Paul recognizes from Juliu's development in GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® exercises, sharing a basic principle with Kundalini Yoga and other sports traditions. Kundalini Yoga is based on human development.


Each of these movement systems shares these human growth trends. Based on this background, Paul observed the movements of all creatures and discovered one thing. Even people with severe injuries can start treatment from their most intuitive instincts and the most basic exercise, which is "breathing." Breathing is the core element of all treatment options. Perhaps this is the difference between the classic GYROTONIC® education and the therapeutic application GYROTONIC® education.


Before doing any action, start with breathing. Start to release through slow breathing, connect to the body through slow breathing to complete the action.It’s not a secret how you can connect your body. The most basic thing is to start with the tongue movement, followed by the smallest movement of the legs or arms, as well as tendons. Slowly step by step, you can achieve more complex and more directional movement and tension.


In this way, people can gradually release their pain. Paul found that exercise is the best treatment, and GYROTONIC® exercises make a great contribution to this. Not only can it do exercise, it is also very enlightening. How complex the movements and how many physical connections depend on the intention of the person doing the exercise. Paul is a teacher, so the intention of the students must be evaluated.


In physical therapy, generally speaking, there is no emphasis on teaching but on biology. This is a very negative thing, because the intent of teaching is important for learning and helpful for healing. Chan Rou coach certification You first need to learn this sport, understand and be familiar with it, and then apply the sport to help others. This is the beginning of cultivating creativity. You can make different movement changes according to any client's needs. You can do this through learning, strategy, and dosage, so that you can achieve results in treatment and movement performance.


According to everyone’s experience, Paul’s own experience is that he practices GYROTONIC® or GYROKINESIS® every day. He found that the most concrete result was that when he played table tennis, it would make his back and neck very uncomfortable because he had to maintain a forward leaning position.


When he has not yet contacted GYROTONIC®,Even if he only plays table tennis for 30 minutes, he will feel pain in his back and neck, as if he has a new body. GYROTONIC® is a balanced and stable system, the effect is like rejuvenation.
