Understanding Biotensegrity: How Soft Tissue Affects Bone Health
In this introductory video, Beth Beauchamp from Fascia IQ explains the concept of a biotensegrity model using a tensegrity structure. She illustrates how bones (represented as dowels) and elastic components (representing soft tissues like fascia) interact in the body. Beth highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy soft tissue system for optimal skeletal function and provides insights into the implications of proper hydration, avoiding tightness, and preventing adhesion in fascial tissues. Future videos will delve deeper into these concepts.
