Tensegrity refers to Tensional-Integrity. In this simple model the solid bars represent the bones while the
cables represent the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. The system maintains structural integrity when
the cables are balanced bilaterally. Note that the cables (muscles & connective tissue) bear most of the weight
through tension and not the solid bars (bones). Imbalance in cables poor structure and then a host of
associated health problems.
Why are Muscles so Important to our Health?
Deane Juhan in his book JOB'S BODY beautifully emphasises why muscular balance is so important to our
health.
!"very swallow of food, every breath of air, the distribution of every drop of blood, every e#ploration, every
defence, even reproduction of the species - all are muscular activities.
$nd the degree to which the muscular system is compromised, the entire organism is wea%ened, limited.
It is really not going too far to regard musculature as the primary organ of the body,the dominant tissue of
animal life. It ma%es up the ma&ority of our weight and bul%. It is by far the largest energy consumer. 'hat we
normally regard as our !vital organs(are, from another point of view, really only visceral support systems for
the growth,function, and maintenance of the muscles. $fter all, it is these !vital organs( - lungs,heart,
stomach, liver, intestines, various glands large and small etc. - which must respond to the level of activity of
the muscles, and not usually the other way around.
To be sure there are many factors contributing to the rate at which these digestive and circulatory !boiler
wor%s( ta%e in, metaboli)e, and distribute* $ge, se#, si)e, growth rate,menstrual cycle, infection or disease,
body temperature, sleep or wa%efulness, hormones,and emotional states all play significant roles in our energy
needs. +ut, all these influences on metabolic rate are small compared with the effects of muscular activity.
"ven minimal increases in muscle tone significantly increase metabolic rate, and severe e#ercise may raise
heat production fifteen fold.
$nd when we reflect that muscle holding a chronic pattern of tension is wor%ing &ust as hard and re,uires &ust
as much metabolic support as does muscle that is e#ercising actively and getting actual wor% done, it becomes
clear why and how muscular tension plays such a large and diffuse role in our physical and mental health. Nor
is it difficult to understand why bodywor% which effectively addresses chronic and wasteful contractions can
contribute so much towards changes for the better in our physical processes,our feelings, and our behaviour(.
-uscles ma%e up appro#imately ./0 of our bul% and are by far the largest energy consumer in the body. It is
the muscles which lead. a!d de$a!d ha he 'r,a!s )'ll'2 by &r'duci!, e!er,y ' susai!
heir aci-iy*
The above model %nown as the 1enn "ffect clearly shows the amount of bloodflow hence physiological
support that muscles demand relative to other parts of body.+loc%ed muscles demand huge support with many
negative conse,uences. -easurements are in milliliters of blood flow per minute*
2onse,uently in all therapeutic endeavours, the significance of the intimate relationship which e#ists between
the muscles &organs should be ac%nowledged at all times, and underestimated to the practitioners3 and clients
peril and disadvantage.
.
4aving muscular bloc%ages in the body can be li%ened to driving a car with the handbra%e left on. 5ou can
drive at a predetermined speed, but you cause rapid 3wear and tear3, use copious amounts of energy and will
potentially cause damage.
