The Aerotrim is a 3-axis human gyroscope that allows for unrestricted movement in all spatial planes. Originally designed for astronaut and pilot training, it’s become a powerful somatic therapy tool. At Chinastics, we use it to stimulate and reset the vestibular and proprioceptive systems, leading to breakthroughs in balance, emotional regulation, and embodiment.

Why Gyroscopic Training Works

According to Dr. Harold Levinson, many phobias and anxiety disorders originate in vestibular dysfunction, not emotional trauma. By recalibrating the inner ear and cerebellum through motion, the Aerotrim helps correct the sensory disorientation that causes panic, dizziness, and somatic freeze.

• Real-time sensory integration
• Multidimensional movement = whole brain engagement
• Deep, playful focus activates flow states

Benefits of Aerotrim Use

• Improved balance and coordination
• Resolution of spatial fear and freeze responses
• Boost in vagal tone and parasympathetic resilience
• Heightened body-mind awareness
• Strengthened core musculature

Many clients report a sense of rebirth after their first full spin — like rebooting the entire nervous system.

What to Expect in a Session

1. Grounding: Guided breathwork and orientation
2. Mounting: Safety briefing, spotting, and body positioning
3. Motion: Gradual multi-axis movement with personalized verbal or sound cueing
4. Stillness: Gentle exit and floor-based reintegration
5. Processing: Optional journaling or body awareness check-in
