Joanna Parker Gyrotonic Joanna Parker Gyrotonic

Joanna, a Chartered Physiotherapist since 1995, recognises the value of Gyrotonic exercises in functional movement retraining and healthy living.

Working in hospitals and clinics Joanna has gained broad physiotherapy experience including musculoskeletal, neurological and surgical rehabilitation. Trained in the Bobath  approach, she developed skills facilitating restoration of normal movement following illness and injury; improving her clients’ independence and lifestyles.

In 2005 Joanna attended a training course given by a Spinal Specialist Physiotherapist to introduce UK Physios’ to Juliu Horvath’s methodology. Ironically, Joanna attended the course six weeks following spinal surgery herself. The gentle exercises provided a valuable part of her recovery and echoed the principles of her normal movement training.

Joanna became committed to practising Gyrotonic exercises and became a Certified Gyrotonic Trainer herself in 2007 and Certified Gyrokinesis Trainer in 2010.

Continuing to work part time as a Physiotherapist at a local hospital, Joanna teaches at her Studio in East Grinstead. Working with each individual, Joanna encourages others to also reach a higher level in movement skill.
