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.
Development of a biotensegrity focused therapy for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: A retrospective case series
Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies 24 (2020) 115-125 ABSTRACT Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), the bulging of pelvic organs into the vagina, is a common condition thought to be caused by weak pelvic tissue. There is a paucity of evidence supporting current treatment approaches. This case series proposes a new biotensegrity-focused hypothesis that POP…
De Humani Corporis Fabrica – Fascia as the Fabric of the body
In this essay the author will also have to address the matter of How to Define Fascia. He will approach the issue from the two domains of science he stands for: anatomy and embryology. And he will do so applying the phenomenological approach which he has been able to learn during his decennia long experience as a teacher in dynamic morphology and embryology.
The Architecture of the Connective Tissue in the Musculoskeletal System—An Often Overlooked Functional Parameter as to Proprioception in the Locomotor Apparatus
The architecture of the connective tissue, in- cluding structures such as fasciae, sheaths, and membranes, is more important for understand- ing functional meaning than is more traditional anatomy, whose anatomical dissection method neglects and denies the continuity of the connective tissue as integrating matrix of the body.
