More recently, Gyrotonics and Gyrokenesis
have been introduced as part of the treatments
offered at https://northcliffphysio.co.za/ which has an influence on our whole
physiology. This system is effective in looking at our extremities as an
extension of our spine. If we are able to safely improve the range and quality

lower extremities to allow for effective transfer of forces, prevent injuries,
and improve the quality of life
