In case you are still thinking of your body as
a mechanical system with levers, pulleys, and springs much like a mechanical
system...that paradigm has long gone out the window.
The new way of addressing the living body is as
a three dimensional model that needs balanced tension throughout our soft
tissue to function effectively. Soft
tissue equals muscles, tendons, ligaments, bone and fascia. It’s got a
name: biotensegrity.... You can read
more about it here: http://www.biotensegrity.com
Shari Berkowitz says: “it
is an inner web of 3-dimensional support that connects all parts of our bodies: A completely reactive and adaptive system of
soft-tissue tension. Through this we move, think, digest…everything.”
The thing is:
how we think about our movement, ultimately effects how we move, so obviously
this is ground breaking stuff.
More to come
on how we can use this new thinking to help move better.
