Quest for Space: Towards a Novel Approach in Treating Pain and Fatigue on Earth
On earth so-called mechanical body overload, causing tissue strain, tissue damage and fatigue,
is considered to be a major cause of physical complaints including neck and lower back pain.
Mechanical strain related to body posture has been shown to play a significant role in ongoing,
widespread pain and fatigue (patients prefer to lie down while limiting standing and sitting).
Understandably, the link to gravity’s vertical vector is quickly made.
Biotensegrity-anatomy for the 21st Century informing Yoga and Physiotherapy Concerning New Findings in Fascia Research
This short article addresses the question “is knowledge of human anatomy generally and fascia specifically, important to the Yoga teacher and
physical therapist”. The science of human anatomy is changing. Anatomy has entered a new chapter in the understanding of human structure and
form and this new vision entitled “Biotensegrity focused anatomy” is informing all disciplines of biomedicine, movement and manual therapies.
Tensegrity Informed Observations in Human Cadaveric Studies – A Clinical Anatomist’s Perspective
19th century anatomy took a systematic, uniform approach as efforts were made to give each anatomical structure a precise description. Concerning red contractile proteins observed within a gastor, descriptive words provided little or no information concerning the anatomy or physiology of such structures. Latin names were provided describing shape (i.e. trapezius), size (i.e. maximus), number (i.e. quadriceps) and anatomical location (i.e. posterior) but did little to inform learners concerning a global view of human form and function.
Fascia Focused Manual Therapy Interventions-Proposed Treatment for Post-COVID Syndrome
The novel virus identified as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus [SARS-CoV-2] has resulted in the Coronavirus disease [COVID-19] worldwide pandemic. Confirmed cases of COVID-19 has surpassed 57 million people globally and numbers are exponentially increasing weekly. Significant numbers of recovering patients are reporting long-term, on-going painful soft tissue and respiratory complications. While the total number of deaths directly associated with COVID-19 has exceeded 1million people worldwide, a more accurate figure is estimated to be significantly higher due to limited testing and issues around accurately attributing cause of death.
