George Roth: Changes in Bone Size and Structure; the Application of Biotensegrity Principles to the Treatment of Osseous/Fascial Injuries
The goal of this presentation is to provide the learner with a basic understanding of the scientific basis behind a new treatment system, based on biotensegrity principles. The presentation will provide an overview of the potential to deliver measurable outcomes in many types of conditions associated with structural dysfunction, due to injury and to restore…
The challenge of communicating the language of biotensegrity
Developing the language I use with clients when trying to communicate the biotensegral nature of fascia and movement is an endless journey of exploration. This topic is an area that appears to have almost no boundaries…but that’s the point, isn’t it? The potentias of the human condition is almost limitless, and so by trying to…
Why is biotensegrity a better explanation of our movement than traditional biomechanics?
by Jan Trewartha “The commonly accepted ‘tower of blocks’ model for vertebrate spine mechanics is only useful when modeling a perfectly balanced, upright, immobile spine. Using that model, in any other position than perfectly upright, the forces generated will tear muscle, crush bone and exhaust energy……..” Stephen Levin[1] In her book Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and…

Feeling held
Feeling held versus holding the body upright“Feeling held versus holding the body upright” is how I would describe a felt sense of “tensional integrity”. Where standing or walking feel effortless. There is little or no strain, no need to engage the core, align the spine or activate individual muscles. A sense of wholeness or oneness…
