Gyrokenisis is a fairly new exercise modality that has had a cult like following with Physical Therapists and Chiropracters for rehabilitation. It had even been endorsed by athletes like Shaq.
The exercises are based on yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai chi. The exercises allow one to work on the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement: forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist, right twist and circular, as well as all other joint articulation. This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles through
rhythmic and undulating movements. 
This could be a new fitness trend in geriatric exercise. I am up for increasing flexibilty and fluidity of movements. This could be a great addition to a total wellnes programs. I think spas and physical therapists will be the biggest market for Gyrotonics.
