BIOTENSEGRITY ⠀ [FASCIA ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY] ⠀ What a cool example of biotensegrity and how fascia works in our body. Thanks to @cat_shanti for this amazing video! 🙏 ⠀ The old way to explain Fascia: Thin layer around a muscle, the white we see on a piece of meat. Goes in line with the old idea of a divided body, where fascia is what separates different parts and layers from each other. ⠀ The updated explanation of fascia: „Fascia is ONE system, without beginning and end that maintains interconnection, communication and interaction between different parts of the body. Our body, everything in our body, consists of cells and the substance outside or cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM). A tissue is a group of cells with similar tasks (muscle tissue, bone tissue) and they are all encapsulated by the ECM.“ (@Robert.Schleip , @Carla.Stecco, Langevin) ⠀ The fascial system is unique and continuous, it is responsible for the communication and interaction of all body parts. In other words, a stimulus in a given location of the body will have influence throughout the whole body system. Shoulder pain for example can be a response to a stimulus not necessarily generated in the shoulder, since everything is connected. ⠀ Due to biotensegrity, forces are distributed, spaces are maintained and changes in tension in one place have repercussions throughout the whole body. ⠀ The fascial tissue that surrounds us from head to toe, creating and distributing tensions, is responsible for maintaining our structure in a stable way through the game of tension and compression. ⠀ The word tensegrity is coming from tension and integrity. When we apply this concept to human beings, the correct term is biotensegrity. ⠀ Whenever we want to treat a body region, we must pay attention to all these internal connections so that the goal and the perfect outcome could be achieved. ⠀ #Physiotherapy #SportsPhysiotherapy #Osteopathy #Therapy #Biotensegrity #Tensegrity #Biomechanics #PhysicalTherapy #Rehab #Medicine #Sportsmedicine #Sportstherapy #Massage #Healing #Rolfing #Blackroll #Fascia #Fitness #Training #Yoga #Pilates #Yogis #Yogaflow #Yogalove #Acrobatics #Yogaholic #Calisthenics #Yogapractic (hier: New York City, N.Y.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CElyB5Ai_C4/?igshid=epy3mv3kyy34
