SUMMARY
Summary
What we’ll be exploring:
Dr Kelsick's specific skill lies in applying 21st Century anatomical knowledge to the needs of his high performance clientele. However, what he will be sharing in this webinar can equally apply to all sportspeople, gymnasts and dancers, and is vital for the support team of any competitor.
Getting an athlete to competition isn’t only about whether an injury has “healed”. It’s about whether the athlete can move well, adapt and perform under pressure.
In this session we bring together three useful lenses:
- Fascia as a whole-body system involved in load-sharing, movement efficiency and sensory feedback
- Biotensegrity as a way to think about stability and adaptability across the full system
- Interoception as the athlete’s inner sense of what’s happening in the body, and how that influences confidence and performance on the day
We’ll look at how readiness decisions become clearer when the support team shares language and priorities, especially in the final stretch before competition.
You’ll leave with practical ways to think and communicate about readiness between recovery and performance.
Event Overview
Event-readiness is not just about whether tissue has healed.
It is about whether the whole system can adapt under pressure.
In this integrative session, modern fascial anatomy, biotensegrity and interoception are brought together to support clearer decision-making in the critical phase between recovery and competition.
You will explore:
- The difference between tissue healing and system-level readiness
- How fascia functions as a continuous, load-sharing, sensory-rich system
- Why biotensegrity reframes stability as distributed tension, not isolated strength
- How interoception shapes confidence, pacing, threat perception and performance under stress
- What athletes actually need from their support team on the journey to competition
We will also examine the competition environment itself, where contextual pressure amplifies uncertainty, expectation and emotion.
Through practical tools, case insights and athlete perspectives, this session offers an applied framework for clinicians, therapists and coaches working in high-performance sport.
You will leave with:
- An understanding of how 21st Century anatomy, biotensegrity and interoception inform our enhanced movement strategies
- A clearer way to think about readiness decisions
- Shared language to use within an integrative support team
- Practical ideas to support performance under pressure
- The understanding needed to define and optimise your role as therapist/coach/health specialist within the team.
Note: The replay will be available to all attendees from Tuesday 24th March 2026 until Sunday 17th May 2026.
