Pilates vs Gyrotonic: http://www.pilatesdigest.com/pilates-vs-gyrotonic-expansion-system/print/
Where Pilates is more linear in terms of range of movement and mostly done lying down, GYROTONIC® is more three-dimensional and generally done seated. In terms of where the movements originate from, Pilates’ “Powerhouse” is a musculature-oriented, where GYROTONIC® s’ “Center” incorporates musculature, as well as, skeletal orientation with the hands, feet, arms, legs, ribcage and pelvis assisting in the exercises. In general terms, Pilates focuses on stabilization, GYROTONIC® focuses on mobility. GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. GYROTONIC® is a relatively new fitness system (late 1970’s) touted by the likes of Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Shaquille O’Neal, Paula Abdul, Sting, Andy Arthur and Jennifer Anniston.

Gyrotonic is used for Physical Therapy in order to rehabilitate. The GYROTONIC Expansion System retrains the body-mind connection (neuromuscular control), and coordinated movement of the spine/trunk, pelvis and shoulder girdle to enable the body to learn more efficient movement patterns for activities of daily life and sports performance. A sophisticated system of pulleys, weights and choreography assists the individual to strengthen these re-learned movement patterns through eccentric and concentric loading.
As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, GYROTONIC exercise enables patients to achieve their therapeutic goals in rehabilitation.http://spauldingrehab.org/services/outpatient/gyrotonic-exercise-training-program.aspx
