Power of tensegrity

In essence, there are two biomechanical systems which maintain our posture:

1. compression – bracing mostly via the bones, joints and discs
2. tension – hanging via our fasciae, tendons and muscles – tensegrity

Tensegrity helps to hold your bodyweight. Functional tensegrity allows for less pressure to your discs, vertebrae & joints.

Let’s see what Thomas Myers says about tensegrity:

The power of expanding and condensing is the power on which our tensegrity is based and the Expanz system’s focus is to strengthen our tensegrity.

this pulling of the fasciae generates elastic potential energy, which is then expended in a similar way to the drawstring action on the archer’s bow

Expanz – Know thyself
