Self-help for sports-addicted former gymnasts?
What do gymnasts do who say goodbye to the competitive circus after years of hard training but still can't shake off their inner, almost externally controlled drive for sports? Are there self-help groups for this type of addiction?
Yes, there is! In Switzerland! More than 20 years ago, a self-help group called KONTERSCHWUNG was formed for sports-addicted former gymnasts. The unconventional members try to cope with withdrawal symptoms from parallel bars gymnastics in a special way. Instead of presenting themselves to the public and bright spotlight, they tend to hide in equipment rooms. However, performances in front of an audience have recently become part of their therapy program. With a rather quirky "Cool Routine on the Parallel Bars," they attempt to reintegrate into society. To acknowledge the great success of this previously unknown form of therapy, KONTERSCHWUNG – Swiss Comedy Acrobatics is now among the Top100 Entertainers.
What is a KONTERSCHWUNG SHOW and when is it used? The KONTERSCHWUNG SHOW is a remedy against boredom and lack of highlights at social events. Enjoying a show stimulates circulation, regulates hormone levels, and above all, makes the audience laugh. KONTERSCHWUNG is cool, cheeky, sexy, and brings the unexpected to life.
What is included in KONTERSCHWUNG? KONTERSCHWUNG consists of a group of cool former gymnasts (9-12 artists). This includes parallel bars, gymnastics mats, a springboard, and 100 grams of magnesium.
When should caution be exercised when taking a KONTERSCHWUNG SHOW? There have been no reported cases of harm to the audience. Consuming alcoholic beverages along with a KONTERSCHWUNG SHOW is allowed and can enhance the effect. Caution is advised during pregnancy to avoid triggering premature labor due to excessive laughter.
How should a KONTERSCHWUNG SHOW be used? It is not recommended to enjoy more than one show within 5 hours; an overdose can lead to addiction. Children are known to tolerate more! KONTERSCHWUNG disclaims all liability for any damages of any kind. Any actions during the KONTERSCHWUNG SHOW are purely fictional. Any resemblance to real events is purely coincidental. Insults to marginalized groups are not intentional.
