Francesca's Story
Francesca’s desire to help others heal through movement stems from her own experiences. A dancer and musician, Francesca’s multiple injuries and chronic pain from lordosis and scoliosis were getting in the way of her doing what she loved.
Francesca was first introduced to the GYROTONIC® method in 2006 and has found GYROTONIC® exercise to be an incredible tool for preventing or rehabilitating injuries, increasing efficiency of movement, balancing the body, and building flexibility and strength. She can now pursue activities she loves with no pain and with greater ease, awareness, and joy.
She has studied with the creator of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, Juliu Horvath, as well as master trainers Justine Bernard, Tracy Monaco, and Michelle Silva at Elements Fitness and Wellness Center, Nathan Martin of Capital Gyrotonic, Sebastian Plattenberg, Sylvia Frosali, Mariarosa Gugliemi, Adrianna Thompson, Jackson Kellogg, Alicia Head, Christina Stroh, Valéria Mauriz, Gina Paolillo, Elizabeth Jackson, Abel Horvath, and Uwe Herbstreit.
