How BodyMoxie Combines NKT and GYROTONIC® exercises to Transform Your Swim
If you're a swimmer looking to gain an edge in the water—whether for performance, injury prevention, or pure enjoyment—you may want to explore something unexpected yet deeply effective: GYROTONIC® training, especially when paired with NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT).
At BodyMoxie, we specialize in this integrated approach—using NKT to uncover compensation patterns, then applying GYROTONIC® to retrain your body for optimal movement. The result? A more efficient, powerful, and pain-free swim stroke.
What Is NKT, and Why Does It Matter for Swimmers?
NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) is a sophisticated assessment and treatment modality that identifies dysfunctional movement patterns. When one muscle is overworking to compensate for another that’s underactive, it throws your stroke mechanics off—often without you even realizing it.
Through NKT, we can:
Pinpoint muscular imbalances
Identify inefficient motor control strategies
Understand what’s really causing pain or restriction
Once we identify these compensations, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we correct the patterns.
Then Comes GYROTONIC®: Retraining the Pattern
After identifying your compensation patterns with NKT, we use GYROTONIC® exercises to retrain your body with:
Spinal mobility
Joint decompression
Integrated strength and flexibility
Neuromuscular coordination
This step is crucial—it reinforces new, efficient movement pathways so you can carry them into the water.

Here’s how the NKT + GYROTONIC® approach at Body Moxie supports swimmers:
💡 1. Fix What’s Really Holding You Back
NKT identifies hidden dysfunctions—like tight hip flexors compensating for weak glutes or overactive traps masking weak lats. These issues directly affect your propulsion and alignment in the water.
🌀 2. Rebuild Movement from the Inside Out
GYROTONIC® then provides the movement environment to re-educate your body—replacing compensation with flow and functional strength.
💥 3. Unlock Efficiency and Prevent Injury
The combined approach reduces wear-and-tear on the shoulders, neck, and spine—the most common injury zones in swimmers. You’ll swim smarter, not just harder.
Who Benefits from This Approach?
Whether you're a:
🥇 Competitive swimmer aiming to shave off time
🏊♂️ Recreational swimmer seeking ease and longevity
🚴♂️ Triathlete working on stroke economy
🤕 Injured athlete trying to return to the pool stronger
…our NKT + GYROTONIC® sessions at BodyMoxie are tailored to your individual body, goals, and swim style.
