Golfers Curt and Diane Brewer have found GYROTONIC ®

exercises to be very helpful for improving the fluidity, range and power of their swings out on the fairways. They do about 10 to 15 minutes of Gyrokinesis stretching specifically designed for golfers before getting out on the course, supplementing some stretches by holding onto a golf club.

Diane, a Pilates regular at Momentum Studio, shifted to

classes and really liked the way it made her feel. While she has had arthritis, problems with her feet, sciatica and hip issues, Gyrotonic exercises eliminated her pain. She gave her husband Curt a gift pack of Gyrotonic lessons for Christmas, to help alleviate issues with his back.

“I tried to explain it to my husband, finally decided he’s never going to understand it, and that’s the reason I gave him a gift certificate. People know about Pilates, but Gyrotonic is much more of a European kind of thing,” said Diane.

Curt agrees that it’s difficult to describe

methodology. “I’ve tried to explain it verbally to my golf group, and I really can’t in a way that people say, ‘Oh, I understand.’ You have to do it to understand it.”

Curt took ten

private lessons over the winter and was pleasantly surprised when he returned to golfing in March. He felt far more limber, has gotten his drive off the tee box back up to 250 yards, whereas last year it was down to 230, and his back feels great.

“I had what I call a hitch in my giddy-up, and I couldn’t hit the ball as hard.” said Curt. “I could tell the difference right from the get-go based on the exercises feeling far more limber than I used to and having the shoulder turn that you need for a golf swing.”

“A golfer doesn’t need to bench press 300 pounds. He or she needs the core stability and spinal mobility to hit the ball well down the fairway,” said Dr. Bryan Alexander, who owns Momentum Studio with his wife Aline. “The same approach can be taken with any specific sport or activity.”

Diane concludes, “I think the people at Momentum are very, very good. They’re very knowledgeable and are dedicated to help their clients lead better lives. That’s their mission.”
