Your guide to
tensegrity Medicine
“All structures, properly understood, from the solar system to the atom, are tensegrity structures.
The universe is omnitensional integrity.” Buckminster Fuller
You never change things by fighting the existing reality
To change something, build a new model that makes the current model obsolete
-Buckminster Fuller
What is Tensegrity Medicine
Tensegrity Medicine is a person centered approach to healthcare that focuses on the relational aspect of an individual and their interaction and response to their internal and external environment. Using the concept of tensegrity as one of the foundational principles, TM approaches the bodymind as a complex biologic organism comprised of ‘equal forces of tensional compression and distraction’
Differing from traditional reductionistic therapy approaches that treat symptoms and body parts in isolation, Tensegrity Medicine examines and treats global adaptive patterns from a systems based approach. It does this by examining patterns that develop following injury, trauma, repetitive movement patterns, outdated belief systems or unprocessed emotions
Practitioners of Tensegrity Medicine™ assess the omni dimensional balance of the human body and psyche through tensegral assessments and relational attunement. Targeted manual therapy techniques, dialogue, and movement are offered based on the whole persons’ relational framework
Integrative practices are implemented through movement and habitual lifestyle patterning as a way to facilitate greater adaptability and spaciousness within the whole person
