A Gyrotonic instructor notices a client has been cleared by their physician but still reports acute lower back pain at the start of a session. What is the correct compliance action?
Answer: Postpone the session and refer the client back to their physician
Acute pain is a red flag contraindication; the instructor must postpone and refer back to the physician regardless of prior clearance.
Under GYROTONIC® trademark compliance, which action is prohibited when marketing Gyrotonic services?
Answer: Claiming to offer 'Gyrotonic-inspired' sessions without licensure
Using 'Gyrotonic-inspired' to imply affiliation without a valid license violates trademark and brand compliance standards.
How frequently must Gyrotonic equipment pulleys and cables typically be inspected for wear to maintain safety compliance in a certified studio?

Signed informed consent and health history forms establish client awareness of risks and the instructor's duty of care.
A studio is audited and an inspector finds that two instructors share a single Gyrotonic Pulley Tower. Which compliance concern does this raise?

GYROTONIC® licensing and studio compliance standards specify equipment-to-instructor ratios to ensure quality and safety.
Which of the following best describes the scope-of-practice boundary a certified Gyrotonic instructor must observe?
